Two weeks ago we made a change to how the IC subforum was managed, and chose to move IC's which were to be ran through Massdrop, to the Massdrop vendor subforum. We had our reasons to why we chose to do this, but the primary motivator was that Massdrop has a dedicated discussion platform for their drops. We received a small outcry from the community, and a large amount of praise. As such, we got together and discussed the goal of this split. We had mixed views internal to the team and have decided to revert these changes for the time being. These threads will be moved back to the IC subforum this evening, for the time being.
We are working as a team to decide how to best align the subforums with the ways in which the hobby has evolved. We are seeing more and more offsite group buys, which is great for choice, but removes a lot of control over how we moderate the GB subforum. We have a set of rules, which are lax, that we are not able to enforce on topics that are held through an outside entity. As such, we will be bringing changes to how these subforums are organized and managed. We are going over ideas that will allow the community to self moderate, as well as give the little guys the attention they need. As of now, there is not an ETA as to when these changes will occur. All we can say is soonTM.
Please use this topic for constructive feedback. We cannot guarantee that all requests or complaints are addressed, but we will do our best to make changes that make sense and benefit everyone.
