I think we could do with getting rid of the server chat section and getting rid of the clan subsection. I also doubt the need for a modification section in the video game subsection.

Other than that, my name is Sub and I approve this message.

Stop posting suggestions? That's not a very good suggestion.

Addressing a few points:

News Forum: I don't see why not

Rename General: So that the tree can read Earth's Special Forces - Forums - Earth's Special Forces? No.

Having an entire Off Topic section? We'll see, this will need to be discussed with the dev team.

Removing final open beta section will also need to be discussed with the team as well. I'll address the rest later.

Okay, most of the forum reorganization stuff is no brainer, however it has to be cleared with the dev team, this forum is theirs, and they set it in this format quite a while ago. I'm not sure if its something they want changed or not, and to be honest, it's personal opinion on organization.

I agree with the League being removed, and I agree with clans getting it's own spot.

I can fix the subforums visible in main forum veiw easily enough once everything is settled and reorganized I suppose.

I like your idea about a light AUP. I don't like your idea about renaming it, an AUP is an AUP. I can call the internet the interbutts, but that doesn't change its name no matter how hard I try. I'll have a full, and a light version. However, I have a plan for updating the AUP that will take a bit longer to get to, if you'll have the patience for it.

Also, "discussion and debates" has been discussed previously, and we voted it down because majority of the people here at the time weren't capable of having a mature debate. I see issues with it still, but we might try it on a probationary basis.

We'll see what the other senior staffers think.
