So, i have a feeling that we should change the look of our forum page, due to soon beta release. We must change some sections and categories. Right now i dont have a slightest idea what to add and what to delete.

We must think about guides and everything else we might add. Any ideas

That's what I'm thinking too.
Maybe some media sharing like dota 2 art section and video section.

We cannot add these sections because maybe they want the beta testers to keep low on the changes but if not then we can make the section

1. Portal News
a - News (displayed in main page)
b - Rumors (not displayed). In order for a piece of News to be diplayed on the main page, it has to be approved and moved from "Rumors
to "News" section my mods, so we avoid badly written news or unconfirmed info posted on main page.

2. Strategy
a - Guides
b - Video Guides

3. Media
a - Portal Artwork
b - Dota 2 / DotA video

4. Competitive Scene
a - Dota 2 / DotA tournements
b - Interviews
c - Photos
d - Proffesional Replays
e - Tournament Statistics

5. Portal Feedback
a - Main Portal section (suggestions for improvement)

6. Blogs
a - Introductions
b - Portal's Blog

7. Tavern
a - Forum Games
b - MOBA Games
c - Custom Hero
d - Challenges
e - User Replays

I'm agree whit bazinga we need all from this post!

Nice Bazinga, but we shouldn't have just a MOBA section, and the feedback should actually be at the bottom.

Media should be below competitive scene.

You forgot the actual Tavern in the Tavern section.

The Competitive Scene should just have one sub-forum.

A problem would be the problem I mentioned in my first feedback thread about the forum requiring more section icon with the icons themselves being too big.

If you want to be taken seriously as a forum don't title a section or even have a section for "rumors" it is unprofessional. Also do not make a bugs section, email Ice or the Valve team directly or don't post about it.

Rumours will not be displayed to basic members. Forum Council/Mods can see them then, if confirmed, move to News section where everyone can see. If not confirmed, we can make fun of them or delete them or something.

I suggest that we don't have that rumor part and just make an announcement that if someone has some news to pm a mod/councilor or the admin

Commendations : 30 Join date : 2011-06-23 Posts : 2618

one member suggest the "rumor" and the others will either confirm it as fake or true.

Nah this rumour thing is complicated xD

Off-Topic Section and Competitive Insight

Commendations : 50 Join date : 2011-06-26 Posts : 2019

How is the "Rumours" section concept complicated?
I post news that needs confirmation, someone else confirms it to be true and moves it to News, or proves it false and closes the topic.
Only FC members, Mods, Admins and all other important people.
