Hi everyone,

Over the last month or two, we've been having a lot of conversations in the mod forum about some forum reorganization, across the site. Those who visit the cash strat forums may have noticed that there have been quite a few changes there already.

The idea behind the forum changes is to:

1) Reduce confusion for new visitors, and existing members - we have a LOT of forums, and it's likely quite intimidating to try and find where to post things sometimes.

2) Help breathe life into some of the threads in the quieter forums. When people visit a forum that only gets a post every now and then, they're not likely to stick around or visit again. If we merge some of the quieter forums together, and/or in with busier ones, the increased traffic should encourage more participation. And when we merge related forums together, you will sometimes have people contributing to threads that they might not have before, because they were in a different forum that they weren't aware of/didn't bother with.


With those goals in mind, I think we have some moderator consensus on these changes to the Tournament forums:

Merge MS & HS MTT
MTTSNG - 18 Man to STT (I believe this may already be happening to some extent), everything else back into SS MTT, from whence it once came.

And then there is MTTc and MTTc - Live. There's been a little discussion of a merge, but there are concerns that may not work well. Another thought is to keep them as they are, and move MTTc - Live into a new "Live Poker" category we're considering for Home Poker, LCP, and its subforums. That really doesn't change much other than where it appears on the sidebar and in the forum list. But perhaps it's better where it is. Either way, a renaming of some sort is probably in order.

We welcome any and all feedback. I'd like to move forward on the first couple of changes by the weekend or next week, but if there appears to be some serious issues, it can always be delayed. If we make any MTTc changes, it would probably be a little later.

So if I understand correct it will be STT, 18 Man and MTTSNG as one forum?

Sounds fine given the low activity these days.

Nice move imo, STT has been "dead" wrt good discussions for a long time.

Almost. MTTSNG >18 Man would get merged into SS MTT, <=18 Man into STT. So I would think that just adds 18 Mans into STT, as anything less would already be in this forum?

Just noticed this reply of TTs to the same question over in MTTSNG; his answer is much better:

I know you already saw this, but I'm posting it here as well for others.

The traffic on this forum seems like it's basically 0. I'm not even sure how much 18man threads will help. I wouldn't blame 2p2 for (and actually would be in favor of) just merging all 'Tournament' forums together.

There's fundamental strategy overlap with all the games. Getting some posts from non-STT specialists is better than getting no discussion at all. And the MTT'ers might benefit from being in discussions where the focus is a lot more tournament-equity-consideration based than average.
