rename General transport discussion forum

Post by Alberth »

Would it be an idea to rename "General transport discussion" to "Transport around the world" or "Real world transport" or so?
People seem to be very confused about the topic of that forum.

As a newbie here (with very little weight), I'd like to second that motion as well. "Real-World Transport" would be quite fitting :)

I don't think it being the first non-info forum on the list helps. I'm all for a change though.

I'd say that is probably the problem.

Moving it isn't really a solution to that though, because then the next one down gets it.

I wouldn't be happy if the general parts of the forum weren't top though! :P

Or rename 'General' to 'General - Non game related' or similar.

Some new people now don't read the subtitle of the subforum, so renaming the entire "General Transport Discussion" to something like "Real-world Transportation" would be the better way to go.
