I know you don’t have such privilege.
But, if you present a good case and method to clean overloaded forum, maybe DJ might accept.
With War room, he is probably going to work on A&A forum framework, anyway.
For instance, Global thread may be cleaned up by separating 2nd Edition rules and strategy thread from all past Alpha rules and First Edition rules and strategy threads.
I’m just throwing spaghetti on the wall.
Another issue which might rise when War room players gonna want to change setup or tweak anything, this will also be dumped into HR forum. Same like 1914 HR posted are dumped there instead of being usefully grouped in a different Sub-forum.
For example, there should be 3 majors HR forum in that case (War Room, 1914, all other games) because rules are very apart from all main product of A&A from Classic to Second Ed G40.
Dumping all HR threads focused on specific game is not respectful of people passion and creativity to make a given game more balanced, detailed, funny or simpler.
A given fan of 1914 will not browse through all not pertinent HRs to read 1914 specifically oriented threads.
Or trying to guess how are titled 1914 HR thread with Search tool.
This should be adressed somehow, to make a better more convenient A&A.org forum.
A “variants” child forum for 1914 and another for War Room might help players focus on their game.
And, as a player of 1942.2, I’m gonna be annoyed to see a lot of War Room threads dumped into HR.
It is not a way to keep things clean and organized.
Take a look at Gameboard Geek to see how they dealt with variant related issues.
