If you are confused with the title, don't be, its pretty simple. If you look at the forum boards home page, you will notice that it is pretty stretched out, meaning we have too many boards on that. Not that it isn't attractive, it's just very long.

With the addition of the Gamers Forum Casino - a new board has to be added, although I tried to limit it to just one extra board by merging the casino and arcade together since they both function the same way, it hasn't really helped out much.

With the emergence of the GF Servers which includes a CS 1.6, CSS, and TeamSpeak server, more boards needed to be added to provide support and have discussions on those three things without causing a lot of confusion by placing the threads elsewhere.

So here is my idea:

We take the boards "Programs & Computer Applications" and "Computer Help" and we make them both sub-forums for "General Computer Talk" -

"Announcements" will be moved as a sub board for forum talk and eventually moved out because it hasn't been used for a while, unless I decide to put in forum email updates in there for discussion, it will disappear.

"Tutorials & Tips" will either disappear OR go into "Post Anything" as a sub-forum.

Everything else will remain the same.

This is just how I want to the whole Forum Boards Compression to lessen up the length of the boards home page.

If you have any suggestions to how I should do this or what you think will look good, just post in this thread.

I plan to put this into action the second week of March.

Stretched out?
how short should it be?
is it being twice as long as the boxes on the right hand side too much?

This sounds good :]
Why don't you put 'Tutorials and Tips' under graphics or computer help?
They're probably more geared there than anywhere else.

lol nothing like that and no limit to how long or how short, it just looks really long right now in my opinion - thought i'd compress it up
