[Suggestion] Forum Overview

Hey Nostalrius Team and Community!

We reached the awsome 6,2k+ Mark (congratulations Nostalrius, worldfirst server with so many people on one realm!) and in addition of so many people, we will have a great forum activity.
So, I think, we will need more forum headers, like UI & Macros, Bug Reports, etc., so as not to lose the overview about threads and topics.

This is my suggestion to an new Forum Overview:

Official communication
╟─ News & Announcements
╟─ Suggestions
╟─ Praise and criticism
╟─ Support
╙─ Updates & Changelog

Community
╟─ How to join Nostalrius
╟─ Introduce Yourself!
╟─ General Talk
╟─ Nostalrius Guilds
___╟─ Alliance Headquarters
___╙─ Horde Headquarters
╟─ Marketplace
╟─ Events
___╟─ Raids
___╙─ Dungeons
╟─ Raids and Dungeons
╙─ Player versus Players

Guides & Gameplay Discussion
╟─ Raid & Dungeon Guides
╟─ Classes
___╟─ Druid
___╟─ Hunter
___╟─ Mage
___╟─ Paladin
___╟─ Priest
___╟─ Rogue
___╟─ Warlock
___╙─ Warrior
╟─ Professions
___╟─ Primary Professions
___╙─ Secondary Professions
╙─ Interface & Macros
___╟─ Addons
___╙─ UI & Macros

BugTracker & Bug-Discussions
╟─ Bug Discussions
___╟─ Classes
___╙─ Quests
╙─ [Link to] BugTracker


So, this would be my Suggestion to an new Forum Overview with more Headers and Topic Sections. Hopefully, we will get a little less spam and more overview in to our forum with it! And 1-2 Forum Mods would be nice which maintain the regulations and takes care of the forum to relieve the nostalrius team. :)

So far

Good idea. +1

One of the first impressions I got of Nost was the main page of the website. Is very well done and fluid. The forum could use a bit of a tweak organizationally to bring it to the same level of professionalism.

Great suggestion Agorya! We will certainly look into a newly designed forum layout.

However, we are still very busy with patching the issues not discovered during the beta tests. When we get a chance, we'll discuss the possibility along with how it should look (maybe even community designs?) :o

Hey!

Thanks for the response. WBB as the base of the forum isn't a bad choice also the currend design. Looks familiar too the vanilla colours and buttons. Just in my opinion, some tables looks so fat and massive. Also I don't like the Arrows in front of the forums. That lets seems all so overstuffed. :<
Is it a free WBB Design? If it's so, which name? I would like to play with it. :)

Greetings

Don't forget that Nostalrius Begins only has one week. Only 2 weeks ago, admins probably expected 1, maybe 2k online players on the server. They are busy with server stability and scalability for now.

A better organization of the forum, like the one suggested here, will certainly come, but we shouldn't be surprised if it needs some time :)

Beside this great suggestions being able to like a post and also see a notification who replied to your post and/or liked it would also help (something similar to DayZ forum)
Sorry if that's actually already implemented, I'm on mobile so can't tell :)
PS: The thing I like right now is the different colour of self posts for easier navigation.

Big +1, this would be widely used in this format.
