Should I make a tribute forum for Gary?

Post by Fiffergrund »

Please leave your opinion. I believe only registered members can vote at this time.

Thanks.

I think it would make administration and navigation easier to segregate the threads to a place of its own... so I vote yes.

I think you should leave it as it is for now, squire. Folks are having an easy time finding the particular link they need since its right at the top. We can adjust settings latter when people are used to where everything is.

Voted yes for the same reason as Serleran, though GT makes sense as well. Overall, *shrugs*.

If you move the tributes to a separate Gary Forum- people will still post in Open Forum or be confused as to why there are no Gary topics.

I agree with GT. Leave as is for now just to keep things simple.

I concur and voted accordingly.

I, too, voted to keep it where it is. I'm hoping that Guests who come to the Open Discussion forum to see the Gygax thread might be tempted by some of the other thread titles to linger and possibly join the crusade (a hope which arguably might be fulfilled with a separate Gygax forum; but I think it is more likely to occur - if it occurs at all - with the Gygax tribute where it is).

Good thoughts, everyone. I've shared some of them, but I felt the poll would be the easiest way to get a general idea of what the community would like to see.

Thanks for the input. Poll is still open - I won't be making any changes near-term anyway.

Gygax Memoriam Forum

Post by anonymous »

I vote Yes.

I came to this forum for the first time today hoping such a forum was up, and I'd gladly return to post my final respects to the man whose vision created a new bridge between epic story and human interface.

There is a thread where you can do just that.

I vote for leaving it as is, then retiring it to a tribute forum at some later date, when the tributes are no longer coming in.

Reason: I've posted a link to the tribute thread in more forums than I can remember, and it would be difficult to update all the links. I imagine I'm not the only one who has done so.

I have to admit I had to search a bit to figure out what forum to respond to, but I think open discussion is still the best spot.
