I'm just trying to think of how to integrate the "Champion and Item Ideas" with a new sub-forum, and what it's individual categories would be.
I feel like "Create a champion" could maybe just be stickied in the champ and item ideas sub-forum, since presumably we'd all want to reply to one thread.
Then again, thinking about it, maybe we could split up the categories into things like "Theory Crafting, Character Concepts, Art, Ability Ideas" etc

Thanks to Minho for my sig!

Hmm. Champion and Item Ideas. Break the subforum into 2. Item Ideas and Champion Ideas. We then sticky the thread into "Champion Ideas" and people can post within the Champion Ideas subforum. There, we can still have the Champion Ideas subforum (mostly dedicated to CAC), and Item Ideas still dedicated to Ideas for Items!
/thread.
If you've ever seen CAP, you would know that the process requires dozens of threads to be created.

CAP 1 has around 11 threads already and it's still not done with step 2. CAP generally takes 12-13 steps to finish, which probably equates to around 60-70 threads on average for each CAP.
I'd rather not clutter up the Champion & Item Ideas forum with that many threads, since it would deter people from looking at ideas that individuals have posted.
Ideally, CAC would be a sub-forum of the Champion & Item Ideas forum.

Well, it doesn't take much for me to add a new forum, if you guys feel it will get enough use we can do it :) The system doesn't currently support sub-forums though, so it would appear as its own forum. I don't think it makes sense to split up that existing forum, as we intended it to be a "catch all" topic for new game ideas, even beyond just champions and items. A new topic focused on this is no problem though. If it doesn't work out we can just move the threads back into the other forum and remove it.

You need to log in before commenting.
This is an idea that's been discussed for a few days now, and we've got a lot of community approval. Do you think this would be ok to go through with? If so, it will probably need its own sub-forum.
If you disapprove in any way, that's fine, we'll just drop the project. Just posting it here because it's more likely for you to see.
