Subsections might work better. Hazy boundaries are good in my opinion though, they allow for overlap which I see as a good thing.

How about a "Historical Records" section, a "Treaties and Organizations" section, and an "Individuals and People" section, and we leave the rest in the main worldbuilding board?

Why do we want a Factbooks area? Should the Wiki work?

What's the point of Active Storylines, and why should it be separate from the other areas (why after Planning Room??)

Sorry was trying to show subforums. Separating planning, OOC comments on stories and portraits of people and places. Why factbooks would be such is easier on many than building a wiki, as much as I enjoy building such. I believe OOC comments getting their own section would just neaten things up and make searches easier.

I did make an attempt to transfer to the wiki but the coding is apparently very different.

In general, its way easier to develop one in the forums, imho.  Being able to use a post per section, rather than scrolling through a whole wiki page of info and coding, is easier on the eyes for editing.

Perhaps, National Statistics and Info?  It can include the Fact Books, RP Shops, Embassies, and the like.

I like the relabeling of sections as I believe it would foster more ideas and RPing from various people.

I think that we should consider this again. Worldbuilding has grown and will only get bigger.

I agree. Are there sections specifically that people want to exist? The current list is kind of muddled as to what people actually want.

I agree with Myroria and Al'Khem, this is a good idea to consider.

I would like a "character stories" section, as well as a "history" section.

The forum doesn't seem so busy as to require the existing subforums being split more.

I have to agree, I never liked them splits anyway

I'm firmly about subsections, they can spur creativity. I particularly like the idea of a character stories subsection.
