They do, check here: viewforum.php?f=95

In the NetEpic boards, we almost never have people posting army lists for review. As a result, we don't need a separate board for that. Separate boards can only ever be justified if there is sufficient traffic to drive them.

Hi!

Here is a thought, why don't each of you post the organization of what you view the most optimal way of laying them out and we can focus on the differences and produce a working organization scheme.

No problem :).

Here's one I made earlier: (fellow UK members of a certain age will understand that reference ;))

I think that a review of all the boards that have been created would be a very good idea, as I think that we've ended up with too many. A proposed restructuring could go a little like this:

Net Epic - This is the main board which should be used for all rules questions, general questions/discussion, tactics, and army lists.

Because there are fewer players for NetEpic than EA, I don't think that separate boards for tactics and army lists can be justified.

Net Epic Core Rules Amendments, Changes, and Updates - This is a child board for discussion of possible changes to the core rules. These would be minor to clear up ambiguous wording or fix errors in the book. Major rule changes would belong in......

Net Epic Alternative Rules (Could rename this Net Epic Platinum or Net Epic Rules Development) - This is a child board for major changes or reworking of the NetEpic rules.

Note that I think that we need to merge the Platinum and Alternative Rules boards. Having two boards for development of rules outside of Gold seems a bit over the top to me, unless I'm missing something. If I am, please say so :).

Net Epic Army List Development - This is a child board for development of Gold, Platinum, and Alternative army lists. Please tag your topic as either [Gold], [Platinum], or [Alternative]. Note that Gold lists are fixed for the most part, so only mistakes, ambiguous wording, or minor changes should be discussed in relation to these lists.

There isn't enough activity to justify a separate child board for every army list.

Net Epic Battle Reports and Net Epic Background - These would remain as they are.

Finally, The EpiCentre board seems dead, could that just be archived?

Honestly, I really don't have a problem with the way the boards are currently laid out and would / will adjust to any changes. Still, that said, the only real change that I see as being helpful would be to the "NetEpic >> Army Lists" board whose current layout looks like this: (ignoring other sub-boards of NetEpic)

NetEpic
| . \ NetEpic Army Lists
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Chaos
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Eldar
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Imperial Guard
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Necrons
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Orks
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Space Marines
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Squats
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Tau
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Titan Legions
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Tyranids
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ NetEpic Army - Other
| . . . . . \ threads
| . . . \ threads

Could be changed to:

NetEpic
| . \ NetEpic Army Lists
| . . . \ threads

So long as each thread was clearly noted as to which Army it pertained to, this should be sufficient. Army lists for Platinum should probably be in a sub-board off of the Platinum main board, but again should not need an individual board per Army.

Hi!

I've been giving this a lot of thought in these past weeks. This is what I have decided.

The Net Epic forums will have only two major sections

1. Net Epic Gold
2. Alternative Rulesets

Net Epic Gold will have only one subforum called Army Lists, threads will represent each army.

The alternative rulesets will have only one subforum NEP (net epic platinum). Within that one one subforum called NEP army lists.

The Epicentre and Backgrounds subforums will be archived.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me Primarch. There are way too many boards at the moment, so the much slimmed down version is just what's required. It will make it much easier to find all the topics too.

I just have one question. What will happen to the battle reports board? Will this remain separate, or will battle report topics be moved into the appropriate board once the new structure has been finalised? There are some very good reports posted there, and it would be a shame to archive those.

Hi!

I will leave the battle report board as is. It is still used semi-regularly.

Sounds good to me :). I say go ahead and make the changes, but we'll see what others think.

Hi!

I'll wait until weeks end before I contact Cybershadow. :)

Hi!

I have requested Cybershadow to reorganize the net epic forums into the simpler form suggested above.

Thanks Primarch. That should help to make it easier to keep tabs on certain discussions.
