I'd rather see the Tavern forum obliterated, or at least wiped and restarted with rules stating that it is for MUD-related posts only. I agree with the other posters that the signal-to-noise here at TMS has dropped precipitously in the last few months. The "new posts" feature on the sites front page typically has 6 threads listed, and lately it's the norm that only 2 or 3 have anything to do with MUDs, and maybe 1 of those is really substantive.

As a user of the website, I don't want to have to hunt around and find the new posts forum-by-forum, or by waiting for a search to turn up. I want to log on, glance at a list, and go right to the threads I'd like to read. Since this site is dedicated to the discussion of MUDs, that means only threads about MUDs. If I want to read about Steven Seagal, imdb.com and similar sites are more appropriate places for that.

Every successful message board site lives or dies on organization, signal-to-noise, and keeping matters on topic.
