POLL: Condense Modification Boards?

[Badspot]

There are currently 3 Blockland modification discussion boards with nebulous distinctions and low traffic.  I propose merging the 3 boards into a single board to increase traffic and simplify browsing.  Part of this would include moving all of the sticky threads into a single meta-sticky.  

Keep in mind that it's not all about perfect sorting and organization - finely subdivided forums die because there isn't enough traffic to make browsing interesting.

Maybe merge the help boards into one Modification Help board, and merge Modification Discussion into Add-Ons?
I'm assuming you're talking about Modification Discussion and the 2 help boards

Would make sense merging the two mod help sections, but the general Modification Discussion section seems more like a duplicate of the Add-ons section for stuff that doesn't have to be finished, and is filled with everyone's enormous add-on mega-threads, and I think they might end up burying the short-lived help threads from the other, less active sections.

This is an interesting idea; Glad to see that you're considering these sorts of things.

I support it, there's not too much of a reason to keep it separate anymore.

[elm]

Sure, why not.

I think the help-related boards should remain separate from the more project-related mod discussion board. I think it would be simpler to get and give help if the place to do so is more clearly defined and not mixed in with topics that aren't help-related.

I'm on the bandwagon of having two boards - Modifiction Help and Coding Help combined into one, Modification Discussion stays as-is.

I like that Coding Help is distinguished from Modification Help, which is primarily focused on other things such as modelling.

Maybe just rename Modification Help to something like Modelling Help?

The issue with the other help section is that it has almost no activity, and it's questionable whether it warrants its own board even when it encapsulates everything but coding. Merging it with something else would get the help threads there more activity, but the question is what. I worry that putting it with general mod discussion would cause the gigantic mod mega-threads in there to bury the help topics. Coding help seems fine the way it is and mixing in general help would dilute it somewhat, but that may be better overall.

I'd rather combine the two help sections.

I'd rather just combine the two help sections and leave Modification Discussion alone

I think I agree with electrk here
