Is there a reason that the fan creation section of this site was detonated with the recent forum overhaul? I'm all for tagging, and I'm all for the recombination of the general discussion forum, but why was the fan creation section merged? Each sub forum had it's own flavor, and dealt with very different media. Now it is a unusable mess. The fan fiction section has been completely destroyed, and its nearly impossible to find anything without subdivisions. By its very nature, writing and fan fiction is not a constantly updated process, and many threads can lie dormant for a lengthy period of time. Many are still being viewed, accessed, thought about, and posted in however. All of that cohesion and functionality has been lost in the merger however. Tags don't help as you cannot filter by tag type, so our threads inevitably end up getting mixed up and pushed further and further into oblivion. I know I'm biased, and I know that this comes off as whiny, but you have to admit that trying to find a specific subset of art in the fan creation section is a mess right now. I'm not sure why changes were made, as I was unaware of a great outcry to consolidate the art section, but it is my firm belief that it was a mistake, and that the tagging system is insufficient to compensate.
Kyle I know that this was done with the best of intentions, but the Fan Fiction section has been destroyed, and the rest of the fan art section is a catastrophe. Can we get separate sub forums under the "fan creations" tab once again so that things can be as they were?
Thank you for your consideration.
