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.
HS MTT has been closed, and all of the threads from this year have been moved into this forum, now renamed Mid-High Stakes MTT. There likely will be some adjustments to stickies, rules, etc. in the coming days and weeks as the dust settles.
