This feature was rejected 9/25/2005: good idea, just not the right time for it.

I'm bringing this up again. Forums-Sections-Threads-Posts. Sections would be very beneficial here for a couple of reasons. That reason mainly is Bugs, General Forum, and FWW area.

Bugs would be an easy 2 sections. Bugs and Non-Bugs

FWW would be hard. First you would need one called unknown ideas. Then there are 3 below it called Advanced game features. Another called Forum features. And a third one called community features. Then there is the rejected features and the finished features.

General would just have to have new sections over time. It is to big to not have sections! 900 to count.
Some ideas would be:
Other
MAG points
MAG competitions 1+2

Computers are like this in a way. Lets say that Forums and Sections are called folders. Threads are called programs and posts are documents.
We will also pretend we are using a windows EX home edition.

There are 7 users you can log on as.
FWW
Bugs
General
Parlor Room and so on.
These forums as you know are folders. A desktop is just a mirage of the folder. Clicking on the FWW person shows his desktop.

Now there are 6 folders on that screen. They are above. You click on Finished Ideas and you see the threads which we will call programs. We click on MAG points and see that there are 10+ documents on it. Do you see what I'm getting at?

Here is a copy/paste in case you frogot the idea. Forums-Sections-Threads-Posts. Sections would be very beneficial here for a couple of reasons. That reason mainly is Bugs, General Forum, and FWW area.

FWW would be hard. First you would need one called unknown ideas. Then there are 3 below it called Advanced game features. Another called Forum features. And a third one called community features. Then there is the rejected features and the finished features.

OK -- I've thought about this, but I don't think it's really a direction I want to go right now. It'd take quite a bit of coding to do that, and I'm not really interested in that right now.
