Forum Structure and Cleanup

Forum Structure and Cleanup

SpiderDave's picture

The forum sections are really disorganized in my opinion; I have a few suggestions:

* Create an "Archived" section for things that haven't been used in years
* "Weekly Challenges" is dead, archive it.
* "Procedural Death Jam" is for an old jam from years ago; it's a dead forum and shouldn't be so visible (It's the second forum, right below General Discussion).  There's also a dead link in the description for it.
* There is a link to "FreeGameDev Forums" at the bottom that leads to an empty forum page, and it has an empty header with "Forums Topics Post Last Post" as well.  There's a link to a new forum so presumably it used to be here but moved.  This could be better handled with some kind of redirect (mod_rewrite or whatever) and remove it from the forums page.
* "Programming" and "Writers Forum" should go under "Design".
* "Resource Requests" and "Open Commissions" should go under "Art Forums".
* Fix the issues where "last post" says n/a and where views is 0.  These are important tools to gague interest and activity.

I'm sure there's some differing opinions on what goes where but mostly I just wanted to point out that it could use some cleanup.
