Layout of the subforums
#1

So this is something that has been on my mind for a while, how to clean up the forums with the threads that arent needed anymore, along with just making the place looks more organized I should say. Like the league is already doing a good job at that, but I think it could get tweaked more on how the league is formatted to newer players as well. So these are my suggestions for the subforums



Title: Getting Started

Subforum: Create a player
Subforums
player Retirement -> send somewhere else
International Recruiting
      The IR is good there, keep it
FAQ -> shit or get off the pot. Either rework it or delete it. Because all it will do is confuse new members


Important Threads:

Comprehensive Rookie Tutorial: Start Here!
Video Rookie Guide
What Birth Country and Position Should I Create?
Update Scale
How to Build a Sig -> this should be moved to graphics. I think when people first join its not how to make a sig. That can come later. So one less thing for a rookie to view

Then whenever a rookie posts put it there yeah

New Subforum: Rookie Season Stuff(not sure the name) ->
A lot of the time I get asked the question by new members "what can I do", because there are like 3 different subforums people would have to navigate on the site to get to things. So having it all in 1 central place right inside "Create A Player" would help lower the confusion when new members create


Subforums in that subforum:
PGS(or the equivalent if SMJHL HO is reworking it)
Prospects
Unassigned Player Updates

Playoff Central
This might be extreme to some. But we can just merge playoff stuff back into the SHL Games and SMJHL Games. Without Play by Plays, there really isnt a big need for Playoff Central. And the playoff threads for the SMJHL and SHL can just be put into the SHL games. Make it all central there. Also I could stick stuff like https://simulationhockey.com/games/shl/ and https://simulationhockey.com/games/smjhl/ etc at the top of when you enter the SHL Games, SMJHL Games, IIHF Games as the old links dont really work. Unless we get someone to go into each thread and make a big link at the top.

And for the PBP and archived SHL indexes we can just put that in a subforum in SHL games and leave it there

I think this is good, but I think some important threads should be pinned when you entered the thread. Like the link to the graphics discord. But other than that its pretty good

--Transactions: Eastern Conference & Western Conference Can just move it to the garbage can or just an archived subforum. Not needed anymore
--SHL betting
--Twitter: I propose that we move the twitter stuff into the bank. Since you are claiming it for money. It would remove the Twitter from SHL and SMJHL Player Progression.

I cant really think of anything to change. I know haha SHL Historian Head thinks his area is perfect. But whoever made the SHL history how it is pretty much covered all the bases. The only thing that was needed is to update everything every season. Though if anyone has suggestions I am 100% open to ideas on what to add or change.




International Hockey
--Teams
--International Transfer
--IIHF Central
--IIHF Archives

TBH I dont even look in there so I got nothing to suggest.


And then at the end is the SHL and SMJHL teams which is fine



I think for most threads just cleaning up and delete or moving to the trashcan threads that just haven been used in years to make the league look cleaner.

Definitely would like to see newly created update threads moved into the create-a-player section. IMO, the most confusing thing for a new create is figuring out where to put their update thread.

Some very good suggestions there. I already cleaned up 'my part' of the forum a little and followed your suggestion to pin the link to the graphics discord right in the main graphics subforum (before it was under Resources).
