Why not both? Ye Olde Tavern was for all things NWN, and lets face it, the strength of NWN is the PW and Custom Content so having two sections for it should be fine.

You don't really want to re-start that debate, do you? I'm willing to concede to a "tastes great / less filling" position on NWN PWs vs. Single Player modules, but to suggest that PWs (and therefore by implication not SP) is "the strength of NWN" is another story.

               On topic:

The old forum had:
Guilds & Registry: Ye Olde Tavern
Server Admin

None of these had either PW or Multiplayer Module in the name. There was a short info text below the headers though explaining what the forums are for. A lot of people read them or already knew Ye Olde Tavern was for PW & MP: And a lot of people didn't. Looking for a forum to post about PW and MP they found none with a name that did clearly fit and so they posted in General Discussion and Module Discussion.

The new forum has:
Guilds & Registry: Ye Olde Tavern
PWs & Multiplayer

There is no "Server Admin" anymore and it's a matter of definition where questions about server administration should now be posted. It's also a matter of definition where we should post about PWs & MP. Those who are accustomed to Ye Olde tavern will continue posting there, those who are looking for PW & MP in the forum title without knowing what "G&R: Ye Olde Tavern" is will now post in PW & MP. It doesn't make matters easier that we don't have any explanations below the forum titles anymore.

With these NWN forums here just getting started, now we'd have the opportunity to end all confusion and make them more user friendly. It's not a matter of SuperFly_2000 vs. TSMDude or a matter of Ye Olde Tavern faction vs. PW & MP faction or PW/MP vs. SP mods. It's about how people who are not familiar with the forum customs yet will still find the right place to post so that forums don't get cluttered with misguided posts and moderators have less work.

Pushing through our own opinions and tastes is not going to help, and neither is just ignoring the problems at hands. Let's keep a level head and discuss this as a community, trying to find the best compromise. And keep in mind it's mostly about the names not about merging forums or depriving them of their original function.


My favored suggestion would be to rename the two forums in question to "Server Admin" and "PW & Multiplayer: Ye Olde Tavern" (with the latter keeping the same function it had when it was called "Guilds & Registry").

Another would be to request a third forum, so that we could have "Server Admin", "PW & Multiplayer: Ye Older Tavern" and something like "NWN Guilds" if that is requested by a larger group of people. The important thing is that we have a discussion about it here (not an argument), with other members chiming in and making more suggestions.

Just to clarify, I consider Custom Content also to be modules and just as a strong selling point as PWs.

Sorry for not being clear on that.

Most of the modules I have played required dling haks to do them. My preference of course is PWs to build but in all honesty I dig playing Custom Content Modules myself if that makes sense.

               While I don't make a habit of agreeing with superfly..  



I have to say, despite the 8 year long legacy of YE ole tavern being the PW place to go...



"Look Ma, there's a way to make it clearer, simpler on new people, and less confusing in general."



The reason so many people use automobiles, is that their generally a superior method of transit when compared to a horse.

That would be like me making a Community of Football Players and then saying the Patriots and Vikings are the best and we will watch them and them only.

You could get shot for that statement down here, where the Cowboys are Americas team, and the only team worth watchin.

But I feel your pain.
