Forums as of now are a MESS. Proposal for more categories.
I'll try to be as brief and complete as possible.
PROBLEM:
The threads from users right now are overly cluttered in one single big messy category, which is Main Forum.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Adding more categories, the proposal that emerged from a (heated) discord discussion was:
- Main Forum < [Would be used for everything that doesn't fit the other categories]
- User Stories (different from the handpicked ones) < [Would be used to gather life experiences, stories, cults propaganda and similar]
- Suggestions & Ideas < [Would be used to freely discuss potential game implementations or ideas about the game]
- Guides < [Would be a much needed section where to gather material for new players]
Elaborating a bit more on the problem, and why it is important not to ignore it.
I can say that personally, not only I'm not incentivized at all to use the forums, but I am actively discouraged to post anything seeing how messy and disorganized (and full of compost) the Main Forum category is. I think that forums could:
- Become a powerful way to make the game easier on newer players.
- Be a better place where to build up a community.
- Have more solid foundations to potentially host more members.
Imagine the experience of a new player jumping for the first time on this Forum, it wasn't a good one for me and I'm ready to bet that it isn't a pleasant one for new players.
Here's an image (posted as link since it's very big) that Joriom made displaying how some of the latest threads could be easily organized better:

That said, this is my proposal, I'd obviously like Jason to read it and not ignore it, but that's not what I expect to happen.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT: Another proposal
General Discussions - Miscellaneous threads involving anything else.
Help & Guides - Would contain guides and be the place to ask questions if you need help with something.
Creative Commons - Includes stories, fanart, anything involving roleplay, possibly mods
Suggestions & Ideas - Anything involving new or changed features in the game or forums. I never did understand why these were on Reddit when the official forums exist.. Mods could go here as well, perhaps.

Perhaps add a RP category for the increasing amount of cults, governments and religions.

Having joined about a week ago I feel like an increasingly organized forum would serve as more welcoming for people like myself. I sifted through many unrelated posts while looking for useful information to help me out as a beginner.
