I'd like to give a big thanks to the staff for letting this saga continue.
First of all I want to address the point that someone might make that the board layout doesn't matter. That's ridiculous and anyone who has any experience w/ running a large community knows the layout and order does affect participation and more importantly first impressions. Additionally, people who have worked in marketing can tell you how small changes can make a big impact. You personally don't have to care- but if you don't care sit this one out and save us all the frustration.
Here are my main arguments for moving suggestions back:
- It concerns MFGG as a whole and I believe people interested in improving MFGG shouldn't be hidden away and should be right up there. Especially close to the "news" forum since we want to show that we're able to take feedback just as much as we're able to dish out updates.
- Putting it above the spam forum and below entertainment forums is so bizarre. I don't even know how you'd explain that.
- Yes it is part of the community but it just doesn't fit in with the other categories labelled community. If you want to sell me on the idea that suggestions belongs w/ these other forums then I think we'd need to shake things up w/ the community section a bit more. Maybe move news down there too?
- It's honestly bizarre to abruptly move forums around and not even make a news post or anything? It just feels like you guys don't care. Well I care, I noticed and posted as soon as I saw it. I would love to see the justification for abruptly moving it, there's gotta be more than just 'we like it here better'- if you're gonna shake things up at least have a good reason to.
""We choose to go to the [Suggestions board] not because it's easy, but because it's hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
