Suggestions to DEV team for feedback

from Stardock Forums
Hi,
I've been playing this great game for about 1 week now, and posted a little here on the forum.
I think the public Beta testing idea is great, but think you are hindering yourself in getting the maximum profit from it.
A forum is a great way to get feedback, but my guess is, that you lose a lot of potential good threads here, due to the nature of this forum.
I suggest a forum specifically for the beta testers, with all the pomp and might of modern day forums
Searches, multiple catagories,UBB code,last poster view, searches on specific person and so on.
I will be happy to lend my own forums to this, if it's a question of time (http://www.lidiumonline.com/phpBB/) where I could set up all the relevant catagories.

Also, we should probably agree on some standard for what the topic title is (i.e. BUG: description, Spell-error:area and so forth)

Let me know what you (developers) and the rest of the gang here thinks :-)

While I'm not an authority, i know people have wanted a more organized way of dealing with things for a while now. We'll see what Brad has to say :)

yeah, there is that, but if the developers want easy acces to the wealth of info they can find here, I believe it's the only way to go (making new fora)

As someone who likes organization I like the idea. I have a sense, however, that the CEO of Stardock is someone that thrives in chaos. Not a critisizm, just an acknowledgement that we are all individuals with different comfort zones.

Eh - I could make up some witty remarks and a pretense to "legally" answer this thread, but instead I think I'll just go "Bump".

I REALLY think the whole community would benefit from a forum upgrade of some sort.

I'm personally quite the fan of vBulletin, use it all the time especially at the JREF Boards (www.randi.org).

It'd certainly be nice to have some spiffier boards. Lots of development has gone into them, and it really shows.
