Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Actually... the real vote should be on whether the sports forum should become an On Topic forum... It's as much on topic as the other games forum. Sports is a GAME... and many people are participating in contests and fantasy leagues. And it sure has more traffic than many of the current on topic forums.
But sure... go ahead and kill one of your traffic generators... not a smart move.
Just discussing it, it seems most people want to keep the sports forum at least so far. So no worries.

Definitely keep the sports forum. I'd prefer to keep the tech forum as well. Keep in mind, this helps remove some of the clutter from the off topic forum. Sports, definitely. But if you fold the tech forum in, there will just be several threads from Wiglaf on how to delete all the gay porn from his hard drive.

I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

Keep both forums but move their links to the bottom of the OTF rather than the top. For that matter put the closed threads forum link at the bottom as well. They're much too intrusive at the top.

I agree that the real estate is valuable, but the page is too long to put "quick" links at the bottom.
I think all 3 of those links (2 subfora and closed threads) would fit very nicely in the "Private Messages - Last 5 messages" box, which is otherwise wasted space. This would bring 4-5 more active threads into view. (I understand that space is probably best suited to host advertising, but let's be realistic.)
Another option is to use top navigation more efficiently. Currently, the "Forums" link on the navbar and the big Poly logo both go to the same page. This is wasteful and redundant. Seriously: all the action in the OTF happens "below the fold." This is just wrong. In fact, there's a whole host of information architecture sins in the navbar (like the non-existent "Gallery"), but ironically, that discussion is off topic.

Can we have a MOBIUS forum where MOBIUS can go and just babble?
