rename General transport discussion forum
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.

Re: rename General transport discussion forum
As a newbie here (with very little weight), I'd like to second that motion as well. "Real-World Transport" would be quite fittingAlberth wrote:Would it be an idea to rename "General transport discussion" to "Transport around the world" or "Real world transport" or so?

This suggestion makes perfect sense to me.

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

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

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

Re: rename General transport discussion forum
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.YukonRob wrote:Or rename 'General' to 'General - Non game related' or similar.
