For a few weeks now I've been talking about consolidating the different areas of the board to make it a little easier to sift through. These are the ideas I've come up with; if you all like this, I will make the changes. Please look this over and, if it sounds good to you, cast your vote. I don't want to make any changes without you guys approving. :-) If you have any suggestions, feel free to voice them.

Remember, no topics will be deleted--things will just be moved to different categories.

The Board

Announcements
Instructions on how to register, rules to read before posting, and other important announcements can be found here. PLEASE check this section for important updates!

KFU General Discussion
Discussions pertaining to the board itself go here, including introductions and requests for help!


The Universe

A:TLE and A:TLE II Movie Discussion
Here is the place we can discuss the two films, including character discussions, favorite moments, music, pictures, etc.

Princess Kida
The place to discuss Kida in general: why we like her, her best qualities, images of Kida, etc. This is also the place to talk about our favorite couple, Milo + Kida!

Atlantean
Discussions about the Atlantean language and culture can go here. Think of it as a one-stop reference guide for fanfics.

Miscellaneous
Anything else related to Atlantis (such as discussion of the historical Atlantis, or anything pertaining to the fandom but not specifically to the movies) can go here. Basically, if you can’t figure out where to post but it’s A:TLE related, post it here!


The Fandom

Merchandise
Here we can talk about Atlantis-related merchandise, whether they be toys, books, comics, and other spin-offs.

Creativity Center
We can post fanfiction, fanart, and other fandom stuff here. This is also a place to come to in order to discuss ideas for fanworks!

Website Center
Have a new Atlantis site you'd like to share with us? Updates on your website? Anything at all to do with websites goes here!


The Fans

Real Life
Have something going on in your real life that you'd like to tell your friends at KFU about? Talk about it here!

Off-Topic
Talk about any fandom that isn’t Atlantis-related here.

I may be new but I've run a bunch of forums including a fairly large, busy, popular one, so I can speak on this...Since this forum IS so small, I approve of this consolidation. If it was busier I wouldn't like squishing together the movie sections and basically doing away with the character sections (I understand still giving Kida her own, the forum is named for her).

I hope people who have been here longer get back to you though, their opinion is pretty key. :)

Thanks for the feedback, Sparky, I agree--the forum's not too big and most of the categories only have a few topics in them, so I think this will just save time and cause less confusion as to where to post things.

I just e-mailed all the members...haha abuse of mod powers. :bwahaha: I don't know where everyone disappeared to, but I figured better to just tell them "Get your butts to KFU and give me feedback" than to wait 3 months for people to trickle back. *^_^* I want to at least check with everyone so that they don't come back and be like, "What did you do??" I've been a part of forums that have done changes like that without consulting the members and while usually it's okay, there have been times where I didn't like the change and would have liked to put in my own two cents worth.

This is the first time I used the e-mail function!

Personally as long as it's easy to use and user friendly, that's all that should matter. I don't see anything wrong with the forums atm

Welcome back, Sappmer! Don't worry about not being around, I definitely know how hard balancing real life and online stuff is. :-) Thanks for your feedback, everyone!
