Unsure if I dislike the forum split or if I dislike change.

I love it !
I just ignore ot-srs almost entirely since it's full of boring threads.
So for me, it's like the mods just decided to cut back on modactions !
Even better, we have no post-count in ot-derp ! That means when i look at my post count i will see a number that increases very slowly, so i'll think that i procrastrinate less than i actually do !

I understand the reasoning behind it and it seems like a good idea in theory, but if the last two days are anything to go by the Civilum section will be pretty small. And how do you determine where to open your thread ?
I can already see people posting something in Civilum and then complain when a mod moves it to Taberna.
I think it would be just as well to relax rules across the board and only apply the strict standads to red diamond threads.I also dislike the pretentious latin titles. This is a fan-site to a pseudohistorical turn-based strategy game. No need to hammer it home.

The split itself can be actualy pretty good idea but I am not sure I like it along the lines it has been done...
I would imagine the split been done on serious OT for learning and exchange of knowledge for science, politics, philosophy, history etc. and some light version of OT where you could discuss stuff in more relaxed manner with primary purpose of having fun. That way we could drop off even the red diamond thingy and make everything nice and clear. Simplicity rules!!!

It looks like the number of active threads has dropped.I am not sure if there are less people posting but I suspect that people are starting to look elsewhere.This will reduce the advertising income for CFC.I don't know if it will reduce costs to offset the lost revenue but doubt it.

kind of like the French Revolution, mirite?
What's cracking me up is how everyone howls for change. Then a change is made (responding to criticism and trying to build a solution that addresses the criticism) and they just howl more.
I promise you there is NOTHING we could do that would make the howling stop, short of shooting the dogs.
Be careful what you wish for.

No one has given a good reason for opposition other than I have to do 1 extra click to see all the threads. It is a great change IMO and thank you. It allows both factions of people to maintain discussion on this site in the manner they enjoy the most, what could be the problem with that. Sure there are other ways it could be done but that is always the case. I would have preferred the moding be just reduced to the level I see fit. But FT is that and why should I care about others having a place to discuss things in the manner they see fit.

I'm quite happy with the split. I had already pretty much checked out of OT because of the low signal-to-noise ratio. Now I can simply avoid the FT threads.

Big fear for me is that eventually you could leach activity. Competing discussions on the same topic mean that neither discussion really is as active as it could be. Now at the moment it appears more likely FC will be a relatively dead zone and FT will act as off topic, but if this forum ever gains more support the splitting could start to occur. Personally Id rather have one big topic of discussion on an issue than two smaller topics with less opinions being shared but that's just me.
I thought that the serious forum was supposed to be just that, a spam/trolling- free forum. The other ot forum could be a less strictly run ot. I am pretty sure you can have any thread you want in the taberna forum, if you want a serious thread there (and do not mind the spam/trolling) you are free to have it there anyway.
The FC is just for people who see no value in the stupid trolling that made the unified ot a rather multifaceted mess, and sometimes even a sinister place to be on the web.
