i like some of the changes to the forum but not others. i like that "announcements from the future" and "announcements from boob palace" have been combined, since i literally never understood the difference between them to begin with

but i do think that the more vague roleplay-style titles are confusing though. i understand that you are making pinned threads that explain the distinctions but expecting new players to A) know these pinned threads exist B) know how to locate them and C) want to read them in depth, is a bit much when it comes to simple things like finding the help/advice section.

like if im a new player and i have a question, i think it would be much easier to find help and advice when there is a section clearly labeled "help/advice" on the first page of the forum. with this new restructuring i would now have to choose a forum section at random, locate the thread that explains the rules of that section (from amongst multiple random threads full of other information), and only then then determine if i am in the correct section. it doesnt help that if my first click is to, say, the coffee shop, it ONLY describes the coffee shop. in order to find the masterpost that explains what each forum section contains i first have to go to the announcements thread? but not just THE announcements thread, i have to go to the one specific to the player moderators (PB, FGs, SMs) rather than the announcement thread for Team Bimbo (which is a distinction even seasoned players have issues making, let alone complete newbies). if i am looking for help and advice, it is not immediately obvious there is even a section for this in the forum upon first glace. it doesnt help that the secret help and advice thread is literally at the end of the list. none of this is straightforward or self-explanatory.

as a person who has played this game for multiple years, yes the changes will just take some getting used to. but i am thinking about the new players who are usually pretty intimidated/overwhelmed by the forums to begin with. i agree with Timothee Chatroulette that having more detailed descriptions in parentheses would be very helpful. it wont be as pretty looking but i think it would be way more straightforward and useful to those who are unfamiliar with our specific forum navigation/etiquette/rules

Perhaps I could go through and add the master post https://ximbo.land/forum/where-do-i-post/t14301 in each of the descriptions? So players wouldn't spend so much time looking for where they need to post?
It's not the best solution, and I agree having parenthesis or something would help a lot with the confusion but it's not something I can change unfortunately, it requires coding and also Chris's permission, that's why we've gone with the sticky post to describe the areas instead.
I will bring it up with him though and hopefully he will get back to me soon!

i think having a link to the masterpost in each pinned description would be a very good place to start! i still think having more information in parentheses in the actual titles would be the best route but i understand the halt when it comes to coding and permission from miss bimbo herself lol

This is the perfect example of the misguided concept that a “new” idea is good for the simple fact that it’s “new” (ostensibly).

i would like to clarify that the changes to the forums were a collaborative effort between the pink house and team bimbo. it was on the agenda to change up the forums to be more “lore-friendly” regardless of who ended up winning the election, as that’s the direction team bimbo wanted the site to go in, and you can see a bit of this with some previous site changes (e.g. the addition of the bimbo national gallery and bimbo theater, although i don’t remember exactly when this happened). some of the particulars, such as section names, came from the pink house while others came directly from team bimbo. basically, this change was always going to happen, we just had some input in some of the ways in which it happened.

i’ve noticed people seem to dislike the change from “help and advice” to “immigration office” the most, and the fact that you have to click on the pinned thread to know what each section is about. we understood that and tried to balance that out by significantly reducing the number of pinned threads in each section in order to make the informative one(s) stand out more. this change has never been done before on this site, so consider this a trial run. if it causes significant issues and/or confusion, then we will pass that info along to team bimbo and reevaluate. sharing your opinions on the changes in this thread is very helpful feedback, especially newer players. 

in the meantime, lets all give the new layout a shot :]

Just wanted to say I was pretty confused by the forum changes at first, but I've already gotten used to it and know where all my fave threads are now.

I'll second (or third or fourth), that it will probably be confusing to new players but I think it shouldn't take too long to figure out. I like the pinned information at the top. 

If anything is it possible to move the immigration office up so it's higher on the list so new players see it first?

Love the reduction in pinned items, it's a lot neater and easier to navigate each subforum now. Do the shop specific threads in Immigration Office need shifting over to Nines?

Definitely hope team bimbo can look into adding descriptors to make things a bit easier at first glance but I've got used to things quickly and understand much of this is beyond the control of the PB.

Yep! We're looking to see how we can best condense the shop threads together if necessary to make sure all important info is in one thread (no threads will be deleted of course they'll at most get unpinned), we're still looking to see how to tackle it so we can avoid having a load of pinned threads

We're still looking as well to get a solution for the new forums to be more descriptive, even if people get used to them quickly it does help a lot more to have a short immediate descriptor what the forum is about so people don't have to keep looking at the stickied threads
