I think this forum lacks a "General Discussion" board for things outside of Hammerwatch. The "Hammerwatch Discussion" board does say "Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board."However, the vast majority of the threads all have to do with Hammerwatch. There certainly are many outlets across the web for things outside of Hammerwatch, but having a section of the site for this purpose, could be beneficial. It would provide fellow Hammerwatch players a place to talk about things that aren't related to the game. Like a never ending thread of forum games, and stories and stuff. Or one of those last posts wins sort of things. Those are always fun.
Also perhaps an Introduction board could help. Newcomers to a website can often feel lost, or have reservations when they first join a forum they aren't familiar with. An Introduction Board, as well as a General Discussion Board would help break initial barrier. It would also give existing members a chance to get to know new members right from the start, and it would promote activity in new comers, as well as older members, which helps the forums stay active.
How does everyone else feel about this? Thoughts? Comments?
