TSP Forum Changes…

The South Pacific Forum has undergone a few cosmetic changes over the past week. Administrators have taken steps to make the board more intuitive and welcoming to new members and chop away some of the ‘dead-wood’.

The changes were sparked by the arrival of Todd McCloud, who ignited interesting discussion about how new members perceive the forum and the potential stumbling blocks for continued participation.

In their opening address, Todd stated: 'I do think one of our problems is many upon many boards. While they all serve a purpose, it's very hard to look active with all those boards quickly collecting dust. Perhaps we should merge some forums together?'

Tsrill, acting in their capacity as a forum Administrator, has been quick to implement changes to the structure of the boards. The SPTVN (South Pacific TV Network) forums have been chopped up. Some have been merged, whilst others divided over the roleplay and off-topic areas. The separate news forums have all been merged into one. Tsrill commented 'That cuts out some little-used forums in the middle, which are basically remains from an older forum structure anyway'.

Other changes include a trial ‘Poll of the Week’ that is sited on the forum index page. The poll is a light-hearted indication of member opinion to various topics. Rumours abound that next weeks poll will be to vote for the subject of the following weeks poll. However, this is to be verified by officials.

In related news, it is understood that the Cabinet have this week undertaken discussions relating to new members and how they are involved in the region. An official spokesperson has remained tight lipped on the matter but indicated that matters were progressing well, even at this early stage.
