So we’re at the point (or very close to it) where there are more than 100 active play by post threads (yay us!).

The downside of this is that at this stage, if no one has posted to a game within about 7 days it drops off the main page and into the archives, which is kind of a hassle. I imagine it won’t take too many more games to start up before threads in this section that haven’t seen activity for a day or two will drop off the main page.

Any thoughts on this? Something that needs fixing? Any obvious solutions?

Maybe we could break it down into sub-sections like RotRL's PBPs, CotCT PBPs, and any other paths (like Savage Tide)Gamemastery PBPs, Generic/homemade, etc.
Maybe have a couple larger categories for the others to fall into, like Dungeon magazine PBPs, Pathfinder PBPs, Homebrew PBPs, Non-fantasy PBPs, etc.
Just some thoughts. I have been noticing the effect you are seeing also....
I'm a little concerned that this may be a bit of work for Paizo to do considering that there are a lot of PBPs and some aren't very obvious as to what they are because they don't have a standardized naming convention which would mean that a bit of research or contacting people on the thread for clarification would probably be in order.


More pages!

FH, I was thinking along the same lines, though I sort of had in mind broader categories; 3.5; PFRPG (maybe combine those two); 4e; Modern/Other.


I second the above. Breaking down by system may well help.


ya know i book mark my game threads...so them falling into archives isnt an issue really

I tend to jump to them from the RSS/ATOM feed,,, so me either, but I can see the utility of breaking them down....

That's a good idea. Probably better than mine.

If I lose a black dot on a thread I usually find it through the character's last post. The list of PbP games has become too long to search through easily.

Good thread, Mothman. I would support breaking games out by system. PF, 3.x, 4E, and "other"


brake down by system which is caool does but more of a workload at times. I book mark each game in its own folder with game thread discussion thread. puts it all where i need it without any reorganizing of the boards ya know how much work placing backlogged games that might be?

just saying


Aha, now that is a good idea!

That is a really good idea Seeker.
