But muh sillyness . I'll change it if it's that big a deal, but I really do like the silly names . Boardway is a pun on Broadway and Board (as in board games,) and is the place for things like blogs, batreps, podcasts, ect. Paint the town is for Painting advice, schemes, and collections. Armies on Parade is more a gallery for finished armies, or finished lists. Again, if you guys are so set on it I'll ruin my fun, but I would rather not. Also, I would like to add that being super serious was never part of my plan. We are guys playing games with toy soldiers, after-all. That, and some of my favorite moments on the old forums involved PPS members and us sharing banter and jokes. I'd like to extend that atmosphere to try to keep the positivity up

I actually agree that clear names for the sections are better. The names are very funny, but we should think about new players coming here searching for information.
As for moderation, at the moment the only real staffer is Swampmist. I'm helping him with the graphic and I'll moderate the Cygnar subforum. If I have the time, I'll probably propose also for other sections, but for sure more staff will be needed if the community grows.

Yeah, the newb info factor is why I added the clear faction names to the faction sections. I also just added descriptions to the Boardway sections, because I realized that I forgot with school and such.

Side note: Preview button doesn't appear to work properly. The "Preview" button into the post is actually a tab opposed to BBcode. It practically lets you chose if you want to see your text with the BB code ([./b.] and so on...) or if you prefer to see your text/images already as they will appear in the post while you write it.

Yup. It lets you make sure that you have the right pic link, that your font looks the way you want it to, check sizes and formatting, ect.

HA! Check that out, it is a tab, just couldn't see it. I'm used to it being a button, and working a bit differently, my apologies

Wishlist time:
- The contrast could be higher. Text and background blend together too well and the mouse cursor that turns black when hovering text is almost invisible. - If the forum software supports it, a fast quote function for the quick reply would be great. Just click a button below a post and it inserts the quote into the quick reply. The PP forums had that for about 5 minuts before it bugged out and stopped working. - I agree with the clean faction names. Having subtitles is great but the title should just be the faction name. - Page numbers (and navigation) at the bottom of the page would be great.
Just some suggestions. I really appreciate you keeping the community alive and none of the above are must-haves.

Mostly I'm referring to the non faction subs because the factions are all pretty clear.

How about a rules subforum where people can post all the infernal rulings?

Can we have a battle report section?
Otherwise, Khador will invade you!

May I suggest to put labels also in the other forums? Like Battle Reports: Reporting from the Warfront?

Just a thought but maybe resurrect a few of the other deceased forums like High Command and maybe a IKRPG section(may be there not actually sure) just to give a home to the lost souls.
