We have Subforums!

[ilostcoins]

Thank you for making this happen.

My current preference is for pool announcements to be in the mining section because these threads normally become support threads for using the pools, talking about whether the pool is down and when will problems be fixed etc.

[Cryddit]

And now the main challenge will be getting people to USE the subforums. 

The front page here is still 90% announcements.  There's supposed to be a channel for that now.

[hypostatization]

Thank you!

Be it the persistance of the community, or my own OCD that made me bug Theymos until we had some sort of organization system, we now have Subforums! Everyone be sure to thank Theymos (even if just in your head because he probably wouldn't be happy about recieving thousands of PMs)

We now have Announcements, which will be used for New Coin Announcements as well as Service announcements.

Mining, which will be for all things mining, technical help, etc.

and Marketplace which is for buying/selling things for Alt Coins.

The top level board that is just general "Alternate Currencies" which you are in now if you are reading this sticky, will be used for General Discussion, Fud, etc.

We thought it was impossible to get subforums, and we managed! If theres one thing to take away from this, its please don't ask for any more. We will make do with what we have and be damn happy!
(*future prediction here* within a few pages, we will have people asking for Giveaways section, and others*) NO


We will have to develop general guidelines for what sections to use for each senario, as well as , which is what will be posted in this thread when we have figured them out.

 


Question Number 1 for Everyone, please feel free to answer in this thread or Pm me with your thoughts

Should Pool Announcement threads go in Announcements or Mining?

I initially thought that they would go in Announcements, and that Mining would be for Mining related discussion and support, but I also see them fitting in Mining. Let me know what is on your minds.


I shall return tomorrow and will read over everyone's comments. I am partially decided that Mining Pools should go to Announcements, as they are something like a Service Announcement and for other various reasons I've listed throughout the first two pages of the thread but am too tired to quote right now.

Goes I am impressed
Reaction and thoughts Congrats on getting that done Air HUG

As for how to sort these situations Pool Announcements probably would qualify into both threads but should probably focus into Mining as it focuses primarily on that instead of just as an announcement.

So I agree with you that certain type of announcement would go into that specific type of thread instead of the general one

Much appreciated, thank you and Theymos!

[Slingshot]

Thank you Salty & Theymos!

 This helps, a lot, at least for miners, marketplace and announcements!

 I was hoping for a pinned section for Alt. coin Mandatory Wallet Updates
myself (hint).  It wont be easy to keep track of those any other way!
But whatever.

 Seriously though this should help. It's a great addition for all of us.


 As for the pool announcements and where to put them, tough call there.

 Pools are services, yet seems since we have only a few child boards that
"all things mining" maybe should go into the mining section just to trim
as much away as possible for what will surely will be a pig stuffed fest of
ANN in announcements section. That may also help others get their own
questions and problems resolved since that would drive more traffic there.
Just a thought I had so I edited this for that.

 Then again it wont be near as easy to use the mining section for other
mining issues but still it seems to maybe be wiser there than in ANN. The
Announcement section will be severely bloated if we dump mining pool
announcements there. Doesn't really matter to myself, but just for the sake
of evening things out that's my impression on this.

 Tough call. Either way is fine by me!


 I just dread knowing that this wont help the topic of Mandatory Wallet
Updates. Bummer. That would save everyone a ton of time if we had that.
But whatever. Maybe Salty can get a thread for that Pinned? Please!


Thanks Again  Salty & Theymos! This is sure to help a lot!

[Korporal]

Thanks! Really cleaned up the alt-forum!

+1 for a "Giveaways" section. That can get very spammy at times and would clean up the alt forum by 50% at least! 

[hostmaster]

  thanks great idea to have sub forums. We can easier reach the categories.

[Arr]

Looks like I am different but I liked it more when it was all in one big list. Now I am missing most of the stuff.

[Circuit6]

This is great news, of course giveaways would have been another good child board but hey, this is still a lot better. Announcements should be for all announcements even though pools and mining are very closely related. I just think that saying a pool announcement goes under mining and not announcements is going to confuse things.

[konfet]

Think that "giveaway" subform must be in.

[aTriz]

whee! nj

[dewdeded]

Please make rule, that giveaway-threads also go in "Announcement"-subforum.
(Or add giveaway subforum.)

Fantastic, this should defiantly help keep the Altcoin section more tidy. I also think we could benefit from a faucet/giveaway subsection seeing as almost every new coin has 2 or 3 separate threads devoted to that.

[digitalindustry]

its a revolution ! : D  great work  -

I know what you mean, but as the list got huge it was harder to pick things out. Either way, thanks guys!

Would it be possible to make a Giveaway subforum as well? The main forum is a bit overcrowded by the giveaways.
