Separating Collaborative/Competition Packs?

[sssmsm]

It seems to me that the Site Packs forum is getting a little crowded. I think it would be a good idea to make two forums: Collaborative Site Packs, with packs created by various members working together (ie: r2112, VGMPP, r21bib,etc); and Site Competition Packs, with packs that are created from competitions (ie: the comps, scholarship). What does everyone else think about this? Any other ideas?

I think you should just make stickies for them rather than new forums. More forums won't clean the boards up, it'll just divert the mess instead. :/

Personally, I think this is a great idea.

I hadn't really paid much attention to the clutter, but now that you bring it up, it does seem to be getting a little crowded.

And since I'm an organization freak, I think this would be awesome regardless.

So I say go for it

Definitely. Way too many stickys

It seems like a good idea to me.

Go for it!

If you change it, you should make it like Updates and Site Discussion. Like have the stickies in a forum (Site Packs, possibly located at the top under Updates so new members will see that right away) that nobody can reply in and link to a discussion thread in the "site packs discussion" forum.

That's how I'd do it at least

While I'm not sure about having separate forums for stickies and discussions, I do like the idea of having Site Packs more easily viewable. Maybe move it to the top of Official r21freak Files?

I think the best idea is to move the 'Site Packs' forum more to the top. Then, make a sticky topic with a quick list that contains download links to all the site packs. I think the discussion topics can be left untouched.

I agree with Wastum. When I first came to this site, I couldn't figure out where the files were and I just thought this was a text-only forum and left. Helvetica re-discovered it and showed it to me like six months later and then I was like 'oh yeah, that forum'. Maybe it would be better if the packs were more visible XD I think the problem is that the Staff Files are at the top, and I didn't know who those people were, and it seemed like a lot of trouble to sort through all those subforums and such to grab a couple of files for songs I didn't know. I like the idea of having a preview of the site's collective packs at the top.
