This Old Neon Forum

I wonder if it might be better if Master Lists became it's own forum heading rather than a subforum under miscelanious gaming. I find because it's a subforum, I often don't see when there are new posts there and check on it less often.

You don't click "view new posts" at the top of the forum? That shows you the new messages from everywhere. The misc section logo will also still light up if there are new posts in Master Lists.

It was originally tucked away in there because it's just a bunch of cornball lists and some people found them distracting. If others think we should give it its own main section, that's easy enough.

Another vote here to make it its own section. I 100% agree with Shoe but never had the initiative to bring it up.

I don't have an issue but it would be nice for it to have it's own section it's not like we have no my section anyway.

Is it possible to embed a discord chat into the chat area? I'm like constantly on discord but rarely leave the forums open enough to chat to people, could be a nice way of getting more people in as well.

I'll have to look into the Discord functionality for that. I wouldn't mind doing away with this crappy phpbb chat, since it's pretty barebones, and Discord didn't really become popular until after the forum launched, so it could be a good option.

The nice thing about our chat is that it's styled and it's all one login.

This wasn't a rhetorical question, btw. Do people not use the best feature for forum-browsing? Another thing I'll probably look at is restyling the front page of the forum so great tools like that are highlighted while the more useless ones are removed.

I have honestly never used that button!

You manually go through each forum to see threads with new posts?
