Since the RPGWW Discussion forum is now gone, I'm assuming this is where we make suggestions. As such, I would like to make a suggestion:
We have a lot of subforums here, it's true. And we're not particularly enthusiastic about having more. Thus, I'm not sure how many will find this a good idea, but I would like to have a forum dedicated to keeping threads with people's characters and PS CharSheets in them.
When this was suggested in chat, many people said, 'But we have a place for that on the website.' True, but let's face it: With no offense intended to Brian or Adam, it's not exactly the easiest matter to get a sheet posted/updated there. They're busy guys, and don't always have the time to get to it, or forget. This will take some of the load off of their shoulders.
Another potential issue that could be raised: 'People can put them on their own webspace.' Again, true. But not everyone has webspace, or even firewalls that will let them use it effectively. Some people don't know HTML. Some people don't have the time to download advanced editing tools or the like.
So what are the benifits? As I see it, they are two-fold:
1) People can easily post and update their character sheets in a location where they are easy to edit, link to, and update.
2) If the RPer for a character is not available, and a GM has lost the link to someone's character sheet, they will not have to wait for the person to get back on and ask them for it. All they have to do is go to the appropriate forum and look.
As I see it, it would be a small matter to add a 'Character Closet' forum, or summat, just below the Shrines. Moderaters would be either the OOC moderators, or, if they don't want the job, anyone who volunteers and the Admin's trust. Feedback? <p>
