So, I'm sure most of you have noticed that we reorganized the categories and boards. If not, then you're probably either extremely new, drunk, or sleep-deprived. Or all three. We don't judge here. Moving on, I'm sure you'll have a few questions, so let me run you through the five stages of reorganization.
ananas' 5 stages of reorganization (and/or grief)
Denial | "I'm hallucinating. This is the wrong site. This can't be happening. This isn't happening." |
Anger | "WHY DID YOU DO THIS, ANANAS? THINGS WERE FINE THE WAY THEY WERE BEFORE. I HATE YOU." |
Bargaining | "I'll call off the Dalek invasion if you change it back." |
Depression | ":'( things will never be the same again." |
Acceptance | "Hey... it's easier to navigate the site now!" |
In case you weren't clear, the point of this announcement is to skip you straight to stage five, so let me try to anticipate some questions you might have. The most obvious being, of course:
"Where the heck did my threads go?!"
Well... generally speaking, if your thread took place in London, check 'Europe' in the category 'Earth'. If your thread was predominantly in a TARDIS, check 'Misc Planets/Places' in the category 'Universe'.
"My thread isn't where it should be!"
If your thread isn't where it's supposed to be, check either Europe or Misc Planets/Places. I'm only human, and I was moving these threads at three in the morning, so there are bound to be a few mistakes. Also there's a handy button below where it says 'Hey, ____. Logout' that says 'Participated'. Click it and you'll find your threads.
"Why did you guys change it to begin with?"
A lot of members have trouble deciding where a thread should go with the old system. For example, what made a 'Second Doctor' thread a 'Second Doctor' thread without the Second Doctor? Now it's separated by location - if your thread takes place in Africa, no matter the time period, post it in Africa. It's all right if your thread changes locations. You don't necessarily have to get it moved - you can start a new thread in the proper location, or you can just stick with that thread."Why not have a ____ board?"
You're certainly welcome to reply to this announcement with questions or suggestions. Should we have countries within the continents? Should we have more planets in the 'Universe' section? Which ones? How often would you use it? We love to hear member's opinions, especially on something that affects us all like this."Is it always going to be like this?"
Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on whether or not you like it. The members of the site are what makes Chaos, well, Chaos. So don't be afraid to tell us if you don't like it, don't be scared to ask questions. If you'd rather not reply to this topic with opinions or questions, feel free to PM @sage, Ace McShane, @magpie, or @tenth."Why are there only six continents?"
Because I was raised where North and South America are taught as "America"."Dude, you didn't even answer one of my questions."
Post below or PM me. I don't bite unless you want me to. ;)But wait! That's not all that's new!
You may have noticed the 'Quicklinks' at the top. What is this? It shows your user profile, your private messages, your bookmarks, your participated threads, recent threads, user birthdays, forum statistics, all in one place for your information pleasure.
