Forum purge?
Low activity and a lot of topics and categories makes a 'small' project like this seem to have a lot of junk information with little usable information for someone just coming in.
If we're going to raise money by May 1st and buy land, we should really streamline things.
No need for lots of categories and subforums. A few stickied threads and one discussion forum might increase forum participation and access to the essential information.
Projects succeed based on the speed with which they come together. We need to be on the ball if this is ever to be anything more than a passing fancy or collective daydream.
Sticky Threads:
*Charter & Government drafting/debate
*Link thread for youtube videos and open source ecology resources, et al to help educate people about the processes we may use on site.
*Population and fund raising check-in thread.

Re: Forum purge?
Thanks for the suggestion. However, by "purge" do you mean I should delete all of the subforums and replace them with a single discussion forum containing the stickies you suggested?
It might be a better idea just to create an entirely new website. Runboard.com isn't the best service around anyway.

Re: Forum purge?
That's overboard. Runboard is fine for a small project like this. We just need to get rid of all the junk posts and categories. Do you not have admin privileges, Stexem?
Delete. *Zoom* !@#$. *Zoom* EVERYTHING.
And give me mod status. I'll make some stickies.

Re: Forum purge?
Also if mods can delete threads and reorganize the forum I can do that part too, but I'm going in with a fireax. Though I think you should too.

I've looked at a few, though admittedly not in detail. And while some people have suggested that we create our own website nobody seems to have much experience doing so, unfortunately.

Re: Forum purge?
I think you should unsticky the "population" thread and combine all the threads about the same thing (eg "land suggestions, how to make money).
