A WHEEL OF TIME COMMUNITY

I'll post here what Jen said:

 

As we've discussed previously, we're trying to reduce the amount of "stuff" our database has to churn through every time someone refreshes a page. The last time I checked, we had over 200 boards on the site and I know we've added more since then.

 

As you talk to the admins and work out what you'll be deleting and what will be kept, a good rule of thumb is any board that hasn't been posted to in over 30 days should be deleted. We can move the posts to other boards, so your data won't be lost. Obviously, there will be exceptions to this, and that's fine. But exceptions should be just that --exceptional. We're going to look really hard if you want to keep a board that hasn't been posted to since, say the transfer from DM 7 to DM 8.

 

I'll come back later and list all the boards we have, but I'd appreciate it if all staff would look at what we have and make suggestions for doing with less, if possible.

 

Off the top of my head I think the Announcement board can go - whatever gets posted there can just as well be done at the Great Hall.

I agree and I think the Hall of Swords for the GA can go. We never use it and all the threads can be moved to the Green main board.

Guys just so you're aware, if you need to delete a board and want all of the threads moved wholesale to another board, I can do that for you during the board deletion process as Barm handily reminded me. If you need to go through and weed out first, or don't need to keep them all then just let me know when you're done moving stuff.

Seeing as we have such a small membership now, do we need the separate boards for the Ajahs? Just curious. Perhaps we could all be on one board with a string dedicated to each Ajah?

The GA Hall of Swords board is actually supposed to be being used for Defender ranks (I'm the only one who has put a thread up there for it, however...). Putting that stuff in the general Green forums will make it harder to keep up with...

Perhaps I'm just dreaming of a big Ajah, but that sticky could get nuts. I guess we can always beg for the board back if it gets nuts, right?

I would like nothing more than for things to go nuts ... lol

 

Do you a deal, Lor: I'll leave the board for 6 months. You and the other Greens whip up the enthusiasm as only you guys can. If that board is used properly within that time, it stays.

 

Btw guys - I've requested that the Announcement board be done away with. Everything that goes there can go in the Great Hall just as easily and maybe people will take notice there.

I've also asked that the RP Report board (access for Sitters and Heads upwards) be moved from under the Great Hall (access for all WT members) to under this board (Hall of the Tower, access for Sitters and Heads upwards).
