 		Season 2 Plans - Forums
Mainly, do we have any? Are there any Mods/Admins out there planning any restructuring? Shall we just use prefixes on titles in the existing forums? It's just I've got a pile of cards sitting next to me and I'm just itching to get discussing. Ok, so I've got one silver and would like to discuss that, but you get the idea. Ooh, and the card backs - that's gonna take some discussion. (And I know that #syzygy - when did I learn to spell that without checking - is great for discussion, but.... forums need love too.)

 		I PM'd SpaceBass and Cassandra about this and the mods seem to be discussing it, I think they're waiting to see what Season Two "the ARG" (separate from Season Two "the Cards" is going to be like before rearranging stuff in case they have to rearrange it again.

Probably the best thing to do in the meantime would be to tag new threads with [Season Two] which'll make things easier to use in the interim...does that sound reasonable?

Sounds like a plan - then they can be easily identified and moved if a new forum gets set up for them.

Hmm, might be waiting a while if the April start date is accurate, but that's fair.

So we have three people liking the tagging idea, although I'd suggest [S2] as it's shorter.

The other thing I'm curious about is the card backs. If you haven't got cards yet, you might not want to spoil the surprise:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The card backs have some darn interesting stuff. Now I don't have many of the higher value cards where the most interesting stuff is going on but it appears that as well as stand alone card backs (seen on posters at the Season 2 party) some contain pieces of stories (easily linked by the background design) that are mainly connected over consecutive cards but not necessarily. Atm, this is mainly going to be the preserve of the wiki because the form of the wiki is just so much better at coping with this stuff, but I know there are people out there who are scared of wikis and this could get very messy, very quickly. I guess we stick with the Season 2 tags in the Card Meta forum (stories are not restricted to just one colour, not all of them) and see how it goes.


I might just have to get the scanner out after Neighbours. Smile

 		The [S2] plan sounds good to me

 		Well, I added one but now I'm having trouble posting that seems to be triggered by posting attachments. (Fatal error: Call to undefined function: read_string() in /usr/share/phpbb2/site/forums/includes/class_image.php on line 67 if anyone's interested and looking here which seems a tad unlikely, but hey) So that was fun.

 		*pats Pineapple on the head* (What an odd thing to write) There, there. I'm sure if it hadn't been you, someone else would soon have killed it instead! Hopefully some lovely person will fix it soon

 		Whilst my head feels suitably patted, I feel it is my duty to point out that the forums are working fine and my error was caused by my own idiocy. All is working superbly well, see the Red card section for proof.

 		Are all the discussions on season 1 cards going to remain on these boards?

I ask, as i am still trying to solve some of the cards from Season 1, and it would be nice to have the discussions there to help out (not for the solve though, mind!)

We try never to delete anything of substance (even if dubious), so they'll always be here somewhere. As traffic dies down on season 1 threads in favor of season 2, we may move them to an archive forum or something, but we're waiting to see how it all plays out. Smile

 		Pineapple, that's some sterling work there on getting the scans etc up so quickly. Bravo, and thanks!

 		Please seperate Season 2 card forums
As people have begun to get and discuss Season 2 [S2] cards, they've been nice enough to put the appropriate tag in their titles, but I would still urgently request that the Season 1 Card forums be moved to a separate Category, or a Season 2 Cards Category be set up to differentiate the discussions.

New people are still picking up Season 1 cards, and finding Season 1 discussions is becoming a lot more time consuming now that the Card Forums are going to get more active with Season 2 discussion.
