Oooh, new shiny forum!

I assume this is your work Gambit? :)

I stuck two mods on there for fun (not that we ever seem to really need admins assigned as mods but it gives people a name to whine at I guess) but otherwise will leave you alone to tidy as you see fit!

Yup, 'twas me, I just thought it made more sense as we're getting a lot of game chat going on now.

I've moved all the stuff I can find about other games -- now, I'm going to move any DM games related chat to their relevant specific forums, as I think this makes more sense.

Heh, I just moved one recently I remmebered about that seemed odd to go into the 'other games like DM' forum, and also closed the fourm to guest posting

Weee, that's teamwork!

Actually, I only just noticed the General Archive -- when did that appear?

What is the criteria for moving posts there? Looking at the posts, it seems arbitrary!

It appeared when I wanted to prune the custom, CSBwin and DM2 forums without losing the posts - seemed a good idea to clear those front pages until the posts would naturally die a death.

The criteria is therefore ones that are dead but clutter up the first page/two pages of the forum they are on and so people don't post the same question : ) I would fully accept moving all the posts back in like half a year or more.

I tried, after moving the custom dungeon stuff, to put names for the DM2 and CSBwin posts so they are all recoverable after the fact if needed. Best if anyone else moved to the forum to keep that convention : 0

I did not notice the newness at first, but well done!
Hard to get it all "under one hat" I guess.

Just a side note btw:
Do you all think it would be a good idea, if there was an additional
QUICK LINK option for
CLONES - CSB for Windows & Linux
named (documentation) ?

I am wondering: is the documentation hard to reach?
I think it is not overly apparent that it exists.
