What are we going to do with the forums after this EE has shut down?

Ruhufdiashrfisdu_2 · 2018-05-31 04:48:52

Seriously. Are we going to rename this one? Or shut this down to make a new one?

Zoey2070 · 2018-05-31 04:56:08

probably use the same one is my guess

Different55 · 2018-05-31 05:35:05

Why would we not keep the same forums?

Diff is going to hunt each of us down in our sleep and murder us. He's already hit a lot of the veterans of EE. Warn everyone.

I wont do, but people will do what they already have 1. make random threads about ee. 2. leave and afk for awhile .

It'd be easier to just slap a little "THIS TOPIC WAS MADE FOR AN OLDER VERSION OF THE GAME" banner on the top of all old topics.

ew that'll look ugly, just make a note somewhere that topics before x are for legacy ee

LukeM · 2018-05-31 16:50:33

Or maybe put them in a 'Pre (Reboot name) Topics' section at the bottom of the index?

I guess the topics that would need to be moved are Worlds, World Creation, Crews, maybe B&P, Game Suggestions, Graphics Suggestions, Campaign Suggestions, and Bug Reports.

hummerz5 · 2018-05-31 17:25:23

Well, if we put all the topics in a different location, you still effectively have a note on every page saying that they're old. (The forum title.) That, and one giant block loses all point of organization.

Also, we're treating this issue as if it's a thrown switch. If EE continues for a bit after the reboot, we could potentially have topics from both. So it's not as simple as a date. Tags? (ew tags?)

Yes please. Then we can finally get rid of the Graphics Suggestions section.

I guess if the old topics were moved to a different section or whatever then people could create the topics in the places they were talking about.

Doesn't have to look ugly though.
It has to be distinguishable so people actually notice it. Something like this would be easy to implement and would do the job quite well:

(I noticed the typo a bit too late not = note)

Ratburntro44 · 2018-05-31 18:22:59

Could some topics also have the label “But is used for the Current”

Because some Suggestion topics, which are usually updated could be easily transferred by the OPs.

why? if the banner is added then topics without the banner will be the updated version

But those topics can still contain something old

What sorts of topics are you thinking of?
I can't think of any cases where you would want to keep the old content but it wouldn't make sense in the new game so would need to have a banner explaining that...
For things like world list topics you would just want a new topic for it, and for things like the load screen archive you would want to keep the topic and wouldn't need the banner.

I guess thats a good point, although usually ideas are either abstract ideas or specific to a current feature so there wouldn't be much overlap, although I guess there would be some.

I'm sure the better suggestions can easily be bumped and / or have new topics.
