Hmmm...ther forum is looking rather large. What do members suggest? Double up some areas? Scrap some areas? Bunch some under one heading?
All suggestions welcome!

Nice having the Marblehead forum, might be worth moving some threads out of the dungeon into there. Nice to also see a forum for those travelling between Marblehead and presumably Wolfenden. I don't think there is much point in having a Knightmare Castle forum though as we don't have a Treguard, and number of characters using it seems limited. I can see Goth becoming Sly Hand's new location - well to be precise the Sewers of Goth (no offence). As for Winteria I'm not too certain of how it can effectively be used.

The Opposition forums have potenshial.
KM Castle might not get many visits.
I like the idea of The Dunnes.

Wasn't Goth destroyed by a falling troll? In any case, surely we only need Marblehead or Goth?

No, It was THE BLACK TOWER that was destroyed by The Troll. Goth was still intact, anyway I'd like to take a few threada into The infamous Sewres Of Goth.

We dont have any Treguard-type characters, so I don't imagine KM Castle would get many visitors. Apart from that, I don't see anything wrong with a few new areas.

Fair enough, Tom. Now you mention it, I can see it working as a generally nasty, unhospitable, dangerous area - even for its former residents, the Opposition... And of course it wasn't destroyed, it was Level 2 in Series 8.

Going by things that Illusion has said about the KM Discussion Forum, expanding an internet forum increases bandwidth, and can slow it down for users. It also calls for more long-term work from Moderators; though speaking as one, I'm able to increase my responsibilities a bit, if required. While some areas such as Winteria and Knightmare Castle would be great for occasional visits, I'm not sure if they necessitate a dedicated area. I think that a single area called Other Lands (or similar), that can include threads as and when required for Winteria, Atlantis, Dungarth, Greenshades, the Mines of Gore, the Rocks of Bruin, the Sandstone Mountains etc., would offer greater flexibility. I think that 'supply and demand' is a good guideline for expanding the Forum. In the past, we found we had a number of Opposition characters with the potential for more, so the Dungeon area was created and has been continuously used. Other areas, such as The School Gates, have not been continuously used since their creation. Knightmare Boarding School has been used, but not as originally intended. Several threads have shown that the Dunnfalls is right next to the Forest of Dunn, so I'd suggest keeping those areas together. In my opinion, Marblehead isn't needed, as the Dungeons area has been effectively used as Opposition HQ anyway. Pre-planned plots in new realms are no doubt exciting; but there are several characters that YG hasn't spent time with yet, and if they all spread out into new regions, unplanned interaction might be more difficult, which I think would be a loss. I'd be sad to see new areas of the forum created, then remaining unused (I demonstrated this at KMBS, when I volunteered to sign up as the librarian so that the Library area would be utilised), as it might give the impression of Surrounds being less popular than it actually is; and it would feel like we were looking at a present that nobody wanted to unwrap... Sincere apologies if that is too much feedback. In general, anything that leads to a definite long-term increase in overall enjoyment for all members, gets my support.

Tweakage!
Another option would be to introduce another mod?

Also, I see what you all mean about KM castle...but perhaps it may be a selling point? People may have wanted to play something 'closer to home' but never joined because there was nothing suitable... It's a long shot, I know. We shall see If something is not used for a month, I'll blend it with another board. Does that sound fair?

Sounds fair by me Kully. Don't worry about KM Castles though. I don't think that'll be empty for long......

You'll probably end up with squatters in the castle, or travellers using the land.

Over a year later, and all the newer areas have attracted some interest. However, in the cases of Knightmare Castle and Goth, usage has been very low (1 and 3 threads respectively). So I'd like to propose incorporating Knightmare Castle into Otherlands, and Goth into The Dungeons. If you have any opinions on this, let us know.
