HoudiniMan is on a distinguished road
Forums are very cluttered

It always occurs to me, particularly in the Main Froum section, that there is waaaaay too much going on here.

There are over 8 subforums, 4 stickies, etc...

Does anybody else think it's hard to navigate this way?

Like MG I use the "new posts" link, but I also find it to be too cluttered. It needs to be cleaned up so new users aren't instantly put off by the giant wall of sub-forums in the main section.

It would help if the jobs forum was moved (or not expanded). Also, perhaps move "Server Maintenance" to the Playerworlds forum.

Make it so the subforums in the Job forum aren't visible from this forum.

We could also prune locked/deleted/way old topics, or move them to a hidden archive section. Inverness has the right idea, too.

I don't agree, the old topics are just fine and keeping them there simply means there will be many pages available.

A lot of the sub-forums could be all within one forum. The majority of stickied threads could also be too!1

The hiring sub forums could be always be moved to their actual parent forums.
Eg. Zone hiring's forum to Zone Forum
Era hiring forum to Era forum
PWA hiring forum to PWA forum etc.

Yeah I agree, I posted something similar when the forums were made free here and apparently it was planned, but never happened. The forums should be expanded on to reflect Graal more to attract more players to use the forums (amongst other things of course) and a lot could be improved about the forums as well, but nobody can do it!

I don't see the purpose of having topics that mislead people. For instance, new scripters searching for something in the scripting forum, but getting an outdated script example.

How can a script example be outdated if it still works?

They'll just have to learn to read the date.
