The Warhammer-Empire Reorganization for 2023 & 2024 !!!
« on: March 05, 2023, 03:18:36 PM »
Hear Ye!  Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

In anticipation of Games Workshop's re-release of the Old World, including it seems a new set of rules as well, the Warhammer-Empire website is under going changes and renovations.

- - - - - -

So far …  this is what we have done …

1.  Opened up a new community area at the top of the Warhammer-Empire website called “The Town Guild Hall”.

- We’ve begun this area by populating it with some of the various other threads that have been popping up in other areas of the forum, and if you know of any others, let us know and we’ll get them in here!

- Also, please take a good look at this new community area, and see what we’re up to with this, thank you!


2.  Opened up an area at the top of “Empire at War” forum area called “The Old World Cometh Again !!!”, and this is to feature threads on what seems to be the impending re-release of the Old World, and apparently with a new set of rules.

- We’re looking forward to Games Workshop’s potentially exciting and upcoming development!

- We hope you’ll help us with new posts and threads in this area, thank you!


3.  Amended with the titles for the “Empire at War” and “Imperial Artisans” to give subtitles that line up with the theme of the Town Guild Hall area.


4.  Combined the Historical gaming area in with the “Galactic Conflict”area to call it "Galactic Conflict and Historical Games" instead.


5.  Moved "Skirmish & Warbands" into "Other Fantasy Games" as a child board.


6.  Moved all Eurobash threads into “The Town Guild Hall” for an improved site position for this long time Warhammer-Empire community organized event.

- - - - - -

As the reorganization continues from here, we have a number of ideas that the admins are working on in the background, and we will provide further announcements as we move forward from here.

Also, we are interested in having your feedback on this new reorganization as well. :icon_cool: :::cheers:::

Updates to the Reorganization List above ...

7.  Put a thread in the Count's Tavern, and stickied it to the top of that area regarding "Entry Into The Back Table".

-   Please read the initial post of that thread for more detail, it is important for all users and members of Warhammer-Empire to make a choice about their participation or not in the Back Table.  This is our response to various folk who've indicated their concern with it, and our current interest is to reduce its impact and visibility accordingly.

- In a nutshell, the choice is stay as a regular member who can't see it, or choose to to increase the likelihood of not seeing by choosing the "Pure of Heart" option, or choose to participate by choosing the Bar Brawler" option.  The latter option is the only group who'll be able to see or participate, and we encourage the reading of the first post in that thread carefully, including how to let us know of your choice.

A further and over all comprehensive revamp of the entire site has begun.

First up ...  the area at the top of the site page for welcoming folks to the site has been renovated with the following.

 - New description on the home page.
 - Have set up a "Get Help With Site" area as a Child Board, and moved some appropriate threads into it.
 - Archived some old threads of miscellaneous and questionable usefulness
 - Stickied a thread for info for those looking to intro themselves.  (And encouraging vets to help new posters. :icon_wink: )

If you have other suggestions, please post your ideas here ...

Thank you! :::cheers:::

A section of the Town Hall Guild has been set up for all polls as well as a thread for suggestions of Polls.

The section is called "Make Your Vote Count" and is located here ...

With what seems to be a bit of a trend, have started working on the Child Boards for Oldhammer, Herohammer, 6th, 7th, 8th Editions, and EoT.  Moved threads from first two newest pages of Electors forum first, and more to do over time.

- - -

From now on ... please put new threads into the Child boards of the corresponding WFB editions, thank you!

Today's update on site reorganizing ...

 - Got through page 3 today of the Electors Forum, and when patterns began to be seen, set up 2 new areas mentioned below, plus went back through pages 1 & 2 as well due to those trends.

 - Opened up an area called "The Visiting Embassy", and this is for those visiting from other Warhammer related sites interested in posting their activities, events, and links to their sites.  Put quite a few items from the Chaos Dwarfs in there today, and hopefully this helps get them all into one place for finding and visibility.

 - Opened up a WFB "Comparing Editions" child board in the Electors Forum area.

 - Opened up all the WFB editions child boards for folks to use as I go through threads and separate them out into the corresponding categories.

Not sure if I'll do any more today, although plenty to do. :icon_lol:

Not much new this weekend. Got thru page 4 and 5 of the Electors Forum, and set up a "Warhammer Computer Games" child board in the "Other Fantasy Games" section.

The page by page review of the Electors forum was mostly about looking to divide out the various WFB threads regarding the different Editions, although am also finding other threads that are getting moved into other categories, most recently the computer games, and also a good number of Age of Sigmar threads as well.

After having opened up child boards in the electors forum, and going through the first 5 to 10, maybe more, pages of threads to separate out the threads that specifically focused on the different editions of Warhammer Fantasy, found that this wasn't getting much traction nor views.  PLus it just wasn't looking good having so many child boards when the Elector Forum area was being opened up.

So ... combined Oldhammer with Herohammer, 6th with 7th, 8th with EoT.  Each of these had substantially more of one than the other anyway.  There are a lot more threads that could and might still be gone through to have this work further, although not sure how much of a priority it will be, perhaps not at all, moving forward from here.

Start of 2024 Reorganizing ...

The Allies of Humans, the Armies of Humans, and the Enemies of Humans child boards have been changed to Forces of Fantasy, Legacy Armies, and Ravening Hordes.

Suspect their will be more changes as The Olde World develops further. :icon_cool: :::cheers:::

With various Empire Army lists starting to show up again, the Parade Ground area has been moved higher up into the W-E forum areas for it's easy access and use.
