First, whoever is in charge of these forums deserves a several months all-paid vacation in an exotic location with dancing girls and/or boys, free drinks and a loaded mini-bar. You are magnificent.

Here's a suggestion, just a suggestion.

In the plot questions and realism post forum thing (you see how technical I am) is there any way to break the forum into smaller forums with particular topics like one for questions about people, one for places, one for things. I have received some excellent info on many topics and posted a few bits of info of my own but the site is so enormous and unweildy. This way if someone wanted to know about regional accents in lower southern Lesotho, they wouldn't have to worry about getting bumped by 300 questions about human body decomposition. (Of course, that begs the question is a dead body a person or a thing? Needs some work.)

As I said it's just a suggestion. But the all-paid vacation really should be made mandatory.

With the current software? No. Unfortunately, the way it's set up, creating subforums really doesn't work. It breaks the customize forums module, and makes the forum super messy.

However, I would LOVE to see subforums. C&P is our single largest, and busiest forum. I would love to figure out a way to organize it better.

And thanks... I'd like that vacation too. ;) Somebody needs to tell Chris. ;)
