Do you think it would be a good idea to be make a Fanfiction and Suggestions subforum for each KR game by the time KR4 is released? It would be a lot of work, but also make the Fanfiction thread a lot less cluttered, as it's one of the messier collections of threads on the forum, currently. We could also have a general Suggestions subforum for all KR games.

Also, why are the Locked Topics getting their own section? Seems a bit strange to me.
Also... the Moderators are now announced. Check it out.

Mm yeah, okay you're all evil and I am leaving.
But before I leave, TaTs, what if important information is present in a specific locked thread?
Like, let's say someone asked an important question in a specific topic. Once the question gets answered, the topic gets locked, right? But wouldn't it be better to keep it where it is so that people who have the same question can come across it?

Well, that's one of the reasons for the subforum for locked threads that is coming with the forum reorganization, I think.

Or there could just be an entire forum for all the locked threads. I think that that would be a pretty good implementation.

No, you nublet, let me explain: locked threads sometimes ask valid questions, right? So you're planning to put them all in one big subforum. That's neat. But since the locked thread gets moved away from the thread it was originally in, people won't notice it anymore. The effect is that newcomers asking questions that have been answered already will become a pattern, because they would have no idea the question they asked was answered already. So you might stack up locked threads that talk about the same thing.

People will notice it if they aren't dolts. The point of the whole thing would be to answer questions and give reasons for why a thread gets locked anyways, so it would only be common sense to look there before posing an important question to see if it has already been answered.

For example, if they wanted to ask something about KR:O in specific, they'll have to dig through all the other unrelated stuff about KR, KR:F and Iron Marines.
And especially more so if the question is something trivial like, "Heroes Not Working After Bought." I mean, what if the dude wants to know why his Iron Marines heroes aren't working? Then he'll have to find a thread specific to only Iron Marines when all of Ironhide's games have heroes in it.
You getting me now, you nublet?

Simple solution to that too. Make a forum for locked threads and then have a subforum for each game's locked threads contained within it.
