Middle Earth Ranger Forum

With the pace at which Rhovanion/Northmen topics gets discussed i think it might be time that we get outown small subforum/section? Might be good to make it a general Rhovanion section, ad many of the things are not limited to the Northmen.

On this topic, my vote is for an "All things Dwarven" subforum

although I have to remember the forum is geared towards rangers and we have the "Other Free Folk" subforum

There are more Dwarf personas on the forum then any other except Rangers. They also are one of the most interesting. If it comes to a vote, you have mine !

I can see specialized sub forums for others as well.

Would be good! The forum has expanded to include a lot more then just the Rangers.

My thoughts on the matter run similarly as they did when we instituted the Other free folk sub forum...the forum exists with Rangers as its starting point but should cater welcomingly to other races/cultures. At that time, the need for other free folk was less focused than it has become now.

That being said, we have a rather large number of sub forums already, so in the interest of not becoming a difficult-to-navigate forum page (that scrolls on endlessly), I'd personally prefer to keep things a little more generalized than that specific of a sub forum.

To that end, I feel like we could divide up the "Other Free Folk" sub to accommodate where we are at present, by splitting it into three primary races: Elves, Free Men, and Dwarves. This would allow for the organization we're after without eventually landing ourselves with a sub forum for every corner of Middle-earth, down to separating Minas Tirith from Dol Amroth.

How do we feel about that?

Works for me !

I think we would need an other category as well

Evil Peoples? Or maybe Hobbits, they are quite a different folk.

Five minutes after writing it, I was like "D'oh...Hobbits".


EDIT/UPDATE: Made a tweak. Let's give it a go and see if it fits current needs. I found it interesting as I moved topics around to see how many topics actually existed for each race in the "Other Free Folk" Sub. As I expected, nobody has really given a hoot about the elves...*chuckle*

Just need permission to be able to see it now!

This happens Every. Single. Time. we do this. Working on it!

Nice job, thanks for that I'm guessing that any kit posts and such can go in there as well, even though it's called culture, and "hobbits and other free folk..." is for anything that doesn't fit into the categories?

You can post kit stuff in there if you'd like, but they're all named "Culture" for a reason! I'd say we use them for culture-specific discussion, and then when you make a new piece of kit, you throw it in the hard kit, soft kit, or weapons and armor section. We aren't kicking non-Rangers out of our standard sub-forums!

Then I've been doing it wrong for ages anyway, my kit stuff has gone in "Other Free Folk" since the board opened, never mind

It's all good! Be that as it may, if anyone asks for pouch ideas, I usually link them to the Hard Kit forum, so...
