I nominate Trash Talk to become the new main forum.

The OC is pretty active. There's just too much... silly traffic in the briefing room. It's not as comfortable either. No comfy chairs. What's a room without comfy chairs?

Well, an Ares mod said it. I think that counts for something.
I think the Officer's Club is probably the main focus now, replacing the Briefing room. But that's troubling in itself. The Briefing Room is for new players to the game, and the Officer's Club is for the established members. Does the change in focus indicate that Ares isn't going to get new players? Troubling indeed...

It will. Not many, though. And I'm not sure how many will become regulars.
I remember when newbies were discouraged... the established members didn't like pushy upstart young 'uns with untempered views and dodgy Netiquette... hmmmmph. Times change.

How long does a newbie have to be around before they cease to be a "newbie" then, or is it done on a number-of-posts per unit time basis...?

I didn't check Engineering Dept,. but Trash Talk is more active than OC or BR. I think OC has 3 topics, this has 2, INCLUDING THIS ONE! It's bad if one of my BR topics is the third most active. Trash Talk has 5, or 4 active topics
About not many new players: Well, Ares is, a LITTLE outdated. POG, Deimos, and soon Nova are lowering Ares involvment because they are so new. I don't think Coldstone is really helping Ares either, also being new. With all these people moving to OS X, they want native games. Ouch.
So, am I still a "newbie?"
(Don't bring up networks, because I WOULD be but my GameRanger is still being very annoying 
)I don't care about EV.

About outdated games, look at Cythera. Yet that board seems to be quite active. Perhaps that's related to the way they have only 1 board, while we have 4...

They also have a very active set of people who work on several webstories on that forum. In addition they have a permanent IRC channel on irc.ambrosia.net.

It's an rpg, and rpgs typically have longer life-spans when it comes to message boards.

My point, actually, is that Cythera has all the posts of their community in a single board, unlike ours which has more posts, but over several boards. A board that is full of posts will be much more likely to attact newbies than several boards without.

If I remember correctly, andrew proposed two boards - Trask Talk and Everything Else. Didn't we fight it tooth and nail back then? I'm sure we wouldn't have to waste that effort now

It was premature when first suggested. Now, I'm not so sure.

I classify a "newbie" as someone who knows "very" little about the boards or the game.
There are good newbies and bad newbies (duh).
The good ones learn fast from previous posts by other members and ask only when they can't find an answer.
A bad newbie... well... go visit the EVNova web boards and you get the idea.
So basically, if you know what your posting and if you ask it within the rules of the webboard then you are not a newbie anymore.

I wouldn't mind seeing the forum count reduced, but Engineering Dept probably should still be by itself…Officer's Club and Briefing Room should be together, though. They aren't that different.
If it weren't for this topic, BR would be dead, no posts in 10 days.
