Cut Down the Boards!

[orion]

This is an honest concern, not someone being nit picky. My computer does NOT run very fast and all of these boards up on the main page is hell to load. I really like this site, but very many of these boards are not useful.

I vote that we remove a couple (I'm not saying a lot). And if the Kind Miss Headmistress would let me, I could even design out a more condensed version of this, combing some boards and making some boards subboards. It would be no problem on this part and I find this to be a really important thing. A large amount of boards are fun, but we can condense it and make it easier to use for certain.

^ there are alot of boards........condesing sounds okay to me.

[Samantha Jo]

I agree. I have trouble finding where I need to go. <3

Personally, I really love the set up we have now, but I have known no other, so I have no previous experience of knowing what is better or not. Seeing as such, I would not mind so much in condensing this site.

I like the boards as they are but one person likes may not make everyone happy so I don't mind what happens

[Emia Drazzah]

I think it would be ok to condense the boards. If it would make the site more accessible to others it would be very worthwhile.

[kaiser]

I think it is fine

[Jacklyn Elizabeth Potter]

Anything's fine with me...so do whatever you want!

I like the idea of having lots of different areas to post in, but if computers are running slow and that I think having them on seperate pages is a good idea. But with all websites, the more content the better.

[Narcissa Malfoy]

Well, some suboards are not useful. Or maybe they are not right now. For example: "Azkaban" "The Burrow" "The Malfoy Mannor" "Godric's Hollow" etc.

I mean, people don't even go there. Tell me someone who would enter the board and takes the character of a prisoner. There is nothing to write there.

Maybe the headmistress SHOULD cut down some boards.[/font][/size]

There might be some useless ones but I kinda like the idea that there are a lot of possibilities around this site. You can practically go anywhere. And if a plot will start any time soon we might even need the locations. (I for one don't think the malfoy mannor is a useless location. I might be a centre of opperation for the dark side if a plot starts.)

And Orion, does the site load too slow? Are you sure that's not just because of your computer. Because this site hasn't got any moving stuff or anything. It's big but I never had any problems with loading it.?

Ealier when I said condense, I meant to keep all of the board, just to condense them onto more pages so that it takes less time for one page to load. Navigation, is not a problem for me though, so I am not upset at all with this site, as a matter of fact, I hadn't thought I'd get so active in it! I' actually in my computer class at school right now.

First of all I like this site a lot this is my first role playing game online and it's really fun. I think it's great! You can really tell that the headmistress spent a lot of time on it but it dose seem that it's almost to big.

I think it would be a good idea to condense it. (don't get rid of anything even if no one is using it now doesn't mean they won't later and we are getting new people all the time that might use some of the other areas currently unused.)

I'm all for helping out a fellow member I know what it's like to have a comp thats slow and sucks.

[laurelpie]

eh....I don't care. Whatever makes people happy.

I don't think we should condense........

[Jake Noctum]

well, it depends. i think we should make certain categories, such as for azkaban, malfoy manner, etc, and put them in a category called something like Side stories/places.

I've had the OK from the Headmistress to try condensing and striking out some really unnecessary boards. Don't worry, she has to OK it before it goes up, so I won't be mutliating anything. I'll try to stay away from boards that people have already been posting a lot on so as to cut down on chaos.

I too like having lots of places to post - a fair number of these boards are going to be a blast to use - but some don't need to be here, or can be combined.

[Jake Noctum]

exactly. i mean, half of these boards aren't even used, but that doesn't mean they should be removed.

[Mercy Rosenburg]

I've cut down the main page layout by quite a bit by moving boards and making them sub-boards of other boards. I hope that's made it easier for everyone. If it needs to be cut down even more, let me know.
