The forums need some reorganization!

Well, since we're moving the inhouse forums essentially to the guild launch site, I think we could change the forum to "Community Games and Matchmaking" and ask people to make inhouse discussions on the guildlaunch site.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

This looks great but two things should be different. First: "Other Games" really should be called "Interactive Media and Gaming", as this name is much more appealing. Finally: - "Politics and Recent Events" should be called "Politics, Recent Events and Debate." There needs to be a place where people can talk about ethical topics. Right now people are talking about the death sentence. There needs to be a place for this discussion to go and the best place really is along with politics and recent events.

^I like Cuddowls' idea about changing the name and the addition of "debate". Homework Central wouldn't have been too bad, but I guess it's not necessary.

I like the look of the new forum arrangement idea, Mowen. There are a few things that still confuse me though:

1) "Theory Crafting" and "Champion and Item Ideas" - I understand that one is about like, Tear on Ashe, and the other is creating a new item out of Tear for Ehsa a made up champion, but can't both be considered theory crafting? Maybe instead of "ideas" it should say "creation"? Or "design"? You know what would be totally cool and amazing is if MobaFire members could make their own items/champions. That would be so completely epic. (will make thread)

2) Gameplay Discussion - what does this mean? Is this meant to be "General Discussion"?

3) What happened to "Build & Guide Discussion"?

I think that's all. Looking forward to the amalgamation!

Most of the names were edited or put there based on Cuddowl's original idea.

I changed the names of forums for a reason.

- "Gameplay and Champion discussion" was changed to "Gameplay Discussion" because Champions are part of gameplay and it's shorter. I took this as supposed to be a catchall for whatever didn't fit in the others but seems more specific than "General Discussion." Maybe we could just change to "Gameplay and Theory Crafting"?

^ Question about this... where would people post things like rumors / leaks. I guess QQ thread could would fit in Gameplay Discussion, but think of those things.

- "Build and Guide Discussion" I derped and forgot to put it

- "Interactive Media and Gaming" changed to "Other Games" because Interactive Media is confusing with "Media and Entertainment" and just kind've long and unnecessary. I think it would be best to just call it "Gaming"

- "Politics, Recent Events, and Debate" changed to "Politics and Recent Events" once again because "Debate" is unnecessary. You don't have to tell people to argue on the forums, they do that naturally, and it doesn't add any extra information except maybe encouraging people to argue. I am not a fan of making it seem like you should go there to argue with people.

- "Champion and Item Ideas" could be changed to "Champion and Item Concepts"?
Thanks to Minho for my sig!

Also, I was thinking another forum or a change to an existing name. "News" to "News & Patch Notes"?

That would be fine yes, though it is kinda specific I think people knowing we post patch notes will be good.
