Major Forum Changes Ongoing! [READ!]

[Ferefire]

You may have noticed that a large number of changes are currently ongoing. We are in the process of revamping and streamlining the forums, with the plan to begin a push for new members very shortly once this has been completed.

Changes are as follows -

1. Removal of clubs & societies - A dead section sadly that is not used. The only active clan, Desire's Nightclub, still exists as a subforum 18+ section in General Discussion.

2. Removal of hmods - We feel that this simplification of the staff structure should make things a lot easier to manage things. Going forward, the admins are in charge of the sections and basically take over the role of hmods.

3. Shuffling and removal of inactive mods - We have removed a number of inactive mods. Some of the former hmods have also agreed to step down to normal mods due to time constraints.

4.Reformatting the guidebooks & rules - We are in the process of going through every section with the intention to simplify and streamline the guides and rules. Several sections will ditch their rule topics entirely and use the boardwide rules. We are doing this to make everything a lot easier to follow. A major change is that the forum-wide guidebook and rules have been rewritten. You can view the updated guide/rules here

5. Changing the layout - The most obvious one, we have changed the layout to make it easier for you and newcomers to navigate the sections. With Welcomes & Questions at the top in it's own category, and there being two other categories of Chat & Discussion, and Interests & Hobbies with 3 forums apiece in them.

We are in the process of taking on new moderators. If you are interested in being a moderator, then we will shortly be putting up an application form. Any member who is able to be active and is not on a probation may apply.

Any questions? Ask them here. We intend to ensure these changes make the forums a lot better for everyone on AL. Thank you all.
