Title: Initiative for released campaign subforum
Post by: TopAce on May 20, 2006, 01:19:30 pm: The main FS Campaigns forum has a lot of kind of threads in it, ranging from the "RELEASE - xxxx" threads to FRED questions to campaign help threads. What about having a new subforum in which there are only the "RELEASE - xxxx" threads? It looks a bit daunting to find which thread contains the actual release and which one is - let's say - the "main" thread for the campaign in question?

I know that spotting "RELEASE - xxxx" is easy, but not all of the campaign releasers choose to have a thread name of that kind, making names like "here something handy" or "this will scare the hell out of you." These names do not suggest that there is a campaign release in it.

What do you think?

Yes, release threads COULD go there. Let us see what the others say first.

I don't think there would be much of a problem if immediately campaign-related threads (like status reports) and the release threads are mixed together. Still gives a lot less to go through.

Yepp will save alot of precius time that can be spent playing the campaigns instead.
