Dink Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Give us a few minutes! Should be going live shortly. Are you planning on migrating the previous recruitment sub-forums/threads into each of the new server forums, or does each guild need to create new recruitment threads?

Dev Post AllisonBerryman Posted September 18, 2012 Dev Post Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) You'll need to create a new recruitment thread for the new forums. We'll be monitoring the volume in the server forums over the next week or so and may introduce recruitment sub-forums if the volume of posts per day and readability warrant them, but we won't be migrating the old threads over.

I can tell you right now the servers forums won't be readable without guild recruitment sub-forums. The continual bumps and posts in such threads will drown out all other conversation. You really need to add the guild recruitment sub-forum back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you chose this thread to post that info, as opposed to the one inquiring about it. Also, I can't see why you would change the make-up of forums, as it's more important than ever now since the merge. Brick walls...simply...amazing.

Out of the 12 topics created on our server, 7 of them are guild recruitment threads. We need to stop making sense Mavery!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Allison, another quick question - you mentioned that after a few weeks you may add in separate recruitment sub-forums for each server if needed, does this mean guilds will have to create another new recruitment thread if that goes in place, or will you migrate the existing threads (those created after the server forums came online) to that new area?

If we do create recruitment forums, it will likely be within the week, and we'll go ahead and move all the recruitment threads created between now and then to the recruitment forums. Feel free to put the effort in to create new, fancy, updated threads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnoblesse Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Were any of the higher volume/most active posts from the old combined forums archived anywhere? Or, I assume, those will need to be recreated too? Some of them were really useful and fairly extensive, like our server's guild website list and progression detail post. I can imagine those two will be quite a pain for someone to have to repost/redo. Apologies if this has already been asked elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerz Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This a web feature that should have been out on launch day not nearly nine months post launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to put the effort in to create new, fancy, updated threads!It might also be a good idea to create trade sub-forums for each server, where people can post LTB, LTS and auction threads.
