Solution needed for "Card Ideas" forum section!

[Scaredgirl]

I went to see the forum stats (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=stats), and it looks like "Card Ideas" is the most popular section on the forum.

Problem is that it's now a subsection. That's unacceptable. It's popular, therefore it needs a better spot.

I moved it under "Cards" because I wanted all the topics about cards under one flag. But that's not going to happen now because I'm putting "Card Ideas" back as a main section where it belongs.

But the we are left with "Cards In Development" and "Card Art". Any ideas what we should do with these two?

Merge "Cards In Development" with "Patch Notes and Development News" like it was before?

Merge "Card Ideas" and "Card Art"?

Something else?

Keep in mind that we can also use subforums.

Post your ideas here. All help is appreciated.

Game suggestions subforum. 'Nuff said.

Really, this is the best solution I can think of. We could have a suggestions subforum, with sections like new cards, new features, new art, new quests, new lore/story, etc...

What he said.  "Game Suggestions"  forum, with "Suggest A Feature" "Suggest A Card"  "Creative Card Art", and "Other Suggestions" subforums.

And put "In Development" as a subforum of "Patch Notew And Development News"

I just realized what those stats really mean. They measure the popularity according to post count.

Seems like "Card Ideas" is a forum section that not so many read. The reason why it's on top of the list is that a smaller group of people just post multiple times.

If you look at "view counts", which is a much better measurement of popularity, "Card Ideas" is nowhere near the top, therefore it doesn't really need its own section, which makes this thread useless.

Those suggestions you have are not bad ones, but my initial idea was to get all card related threads under "Cards". In my mind that's the best way because anytime you want to know something about cards, you just go to "Cards".

Makes sense, right?

Yep.

Which forum section is the most popular in terms of view count?

Probably "Patch Notes and Development News".

"General Discussion" and "Rainbow Decks" are also very popular.

In terms of view count, the thread "Competition: Best Card Idea" was the most successful thread of the history of our community, getting almost 2000 views in about a week. It has more views then the all the "Card Ideas" front page threads put together. Clearly there was a big demand for this kind of competition.
