Shuffling the topics around is easy and I could do that. However, an admin is needed to modify the board layout and forum sections.

So why was my last post deleted?

The last 16 deletions going back to the 10th were done by yourself so ... ?

So is this going to happen then?

Eh-heh, I'll go poke Neelick again. ^_^;;

Late on the game here, but I do think that merging or removing the low traffic boards would help make the board less cluttered. I'm for Jibril's idea.

Hmm, no response ...

*Grabs shovel and starts digging hole*

Maybe he can promote you to admin status temporarily to do this.

I'm here I'm here. I got a bit distracted by work stuff. I was heavy into getting this done I still have the notes saved on my desktop still. It was funny, everytime I looked at it on my desktop I was like "I gotta get back on top of this"

I did some work on this this evening. I've got to go to bed now because its really late. But below is what I'm thinking so far for the new look. My next post will have info about what to do with the forums suggested for retirement.

I'll post more tomorrow. Its late right now and I need to get some sleep.

Ok back again.... late again :\

Anyway if the layout above looks good I can see streamling the board, combining some forums, and archiving the rest. I think that if MJH wanted to make the changes, I'd be happy to make him an admin to make the changes. And I see no reason to return him to global mod after that's done.

I come around as often as I can really. There have been some points where I wasn't on for a few weeks at a time though over the years.

I think that the above listing seems pretty streamlined. Some forums outlived their usefulness, others were intended to be short term, like the spotlight ones, and some others just never took off as expected.

Doing the actual reorg isn't hard if you don't want to do it, my current other admins are as you guess are missing in action. Its just something that happens over time. People come and go. But there comes a time to replenish the board staff from time to time.

I just seen Zhuge Liang post here less than a week ago

But yeah, interest waxes and wanes.

This is what I have so far, taking ideas from Jibril and Neelick:

Some notable differences between the two are:

The location of Question for Neelick
Forum for Isekai Seikishi Monogatari
Minor differences in the fanfic sections
Archives

Is there a need for more discussion, or should I just figure it out? I'll post the final plan before anything actually gets changed.
