In the first of 21 schedule updates to the Empire, I've gone through the trouble of trimming the fat around my forums. Here's what I've done:
* Combined the "Forum FAQs," "Forum News," "evula.net news," "evula.org news," "Suggestions, Questions, and Complaints," and "Technical Difficulties" boards into the Imperial Lounge.
* Moved the Imperial Lounge into it's own category, "Imperial News & Discussion"
* Made a new Technical Difficulties board, for tech support types of things.
* Combined all the Rants, Reviews, and Stories posts into one board, "Lair Content Discussion"
* Ditched inactive evula.net and evula.org member boards. The stuff is still there, but I've hidden them (11 boards total)
* Ditched the "(Blank) of the Month Award" boards. They were dead, and I don't see them coming back right now. If in the future I decide to have those awards again, the boards will come back.
I would like to point out that in combining the Rant, Review, and Story boards, I had to edit every single topic. For those keeping score, that's 120 topics (plus the "About this board" topic at the top). Ugh.
