- Announcements
- Midnight Mansion Game
- Expansion Pack
- Custom Mansions Area
- Free Chat

But these already are our main pages !?  We call them categories.  Inside the categories there are the boards.  What you are asking is that we hide the boards within the categories.  I don't think that is possible and I am sure that it would take more time for people to search the boards if we did that.
Maybe it is a case of the board taking up too much space? So when a user views the page it looks visually overwhelming. What about making the font sizes smaller for the 'explanation' bit? That way each forum won't take up so much space in the web browser.

See bbs.jimmyeatworld.com for an example of a message board that has a lot of forums but seems fairly clear and easily navigable.

Also, do we really need the 'CM Sub-forum' visible to everyone if we can't access it?

In addition, I would vote yay for just having one 'Talk' forum with a single thread inside for each custom mansion. People don't really need more than one thread per mansion. It would just take a little moderation to remind people to not create a number of threads for one mansion. I think that would improve the tidyness of the board a great deal.

Thanks for your time Brell.
