I like the idea of merging the forums and of the post icons. However, good luck on getting some people to use the post icons...don't forget that some people just don't know how to read. :roll:

I think this post is important, so i'll just use the IMPORTANT! icon for it.

We're looking to have less forums to read through rather than more forums/subforums.

This site would still have all the forums to choose from. Why have so many when so few of them (especially the qb sections) get posts regularly. This would make the site appear less intimidating and easier to get through along with making forums not look so dead.

I can make a default icon that says "I am a moron" for people that don't choose an icon. Maybe if people were to not read the "I am a moron" posts, others would get the idea that you have to actually do something right if you want a response. Or moderators could change it.

As I mentioned before, we can block users from using certain icons. Right now the only icons I can see using are QB, FB and some only the admins would be able to use. Things like "READ ME" and "ANNOUNCEMENT" on FBTK are only able to be used by Admin. The same would apply here. If people wanted more icons, we could then expand them to be able to be used everywhere, but never would things as vague as "Important" be an icon.

I vote yes. Might take a minute to get used to the post icons, though.

I consider a key point to add a "default" post icon which reads "DONT READ THIS POST" or something like that, so people are pseudo-obligued to use a proper post icon.

Mah... I hate post icons... Maybe a restricted QB, FB or Generic Basic little marker would be okay...
I do think it'd be best to merge the two forums. FB isn't *new* anymore, so it doesn't really make sense to quarrantine it as visciously.
