I really like the addition of a Malkovich subdivision in the forums, but I think the break down of all the different levels may be a bit much..

I agree. It is all in the beginner's forum, and a beginner can learn from any level if the writing is well done. Also, what do we do with something like Topazg vs Fwiffo, when the two players would belong in different groups? Or when Magicwand plays a 25k?

Probably two divisions - Malkovich and other ongoing games.

I like the subdivisions but where should people post to request for a Malkovich game? I would be interested in one!

Jordus gave me temporary admin privileges to rearrange the Malkovich forum and sub forums. What I'd like to do is this:

I'd like to label the forum 'Turn-based games' with the following sub-forums:
1) Organizational ( intro/rules/ guidelines )
2) 1-on-1 Malkovich games ( with a sticky registration thread )
3) Big brother Malkovich games ( with a sticky registration thread )
4) Rengo games ( with a sticky registration thread )

Is this ok with everybody?

Looks perfect to me

Or when Magicwand plays a 25k?

I might add "other games", ...

I agree there should be an "other". If people just want to play a non-malkovich turn based game here, or want to do something else like 3 color go or something, there should be a catch-all place for that.

I tend to want to err on the side of having too few forums rather than too many. If there are tons of forums it can be confusing as to where you should place a new thread sometimes, and can make the forum hard to navigate. In truth, I would be happy with just two forums for games - Malkovich and Other. Organizational/rules/guidelines can just be sticky threads.
