Hi guys! So it is no secret that the forums aren't exactly intuitive. Unless you've been around here for awhile, finding your way around can be quite a challenge :(. I'm hoping, if you guys all think it is a nice idea, to potentially move around some of the forums and subforums to make the forum look more efficient and tidy. I've been brainstorming this for awhile, it only includes forums and subforums that we currently have, there's no new forums. Sorry :(. I figure it is best to get what we have organized, before thinking about adding anything else. So with that being said, this is what we have now:

Nothing is going to happen unless you guys are on board with it. I hope you all keep an open mind about this though, as all the content will all the same it is just the location of the forums that would be changed. The new locations are just more logical imo :(. Think about all the happy new users who can navigate the forums more easily!
Anyway, I'm going to create a poll for you all to share your thoughts there as well. Please also feel free to comment with your thoughts, but just bare in mind this is for forums and subforums we currently have, this is not for adding new ones at this current time.
Thanks guys!

I think some kind of "site map" would be good to have, as well. A locked post where it lists the forum categories with their sub forums. That way, if you're looking for a particular section you can just read down the list. Maybe even have the list as links.
I will definitely make a thread for that! Thank you for the suggestion.
I'm currently making the changes, as the majority agrees with them. The changes will slowly happen over the course of the week because classes consume a lot of my time :(

Also... I like the way you have the new set up, if it were to be changed. Good idea to have the archive sections, would make things so much more organized and way less cluttered. I imagine it'd be more easily managed by the administrators.
It took me forever to find the freebie emporium. : (
I still feel like it should sort of stay it's own section, for easier access. And not to mention it's not a very minor section, it's quite popular. xD I think it feels very out of place as a sub-forum.

In the "Wolfhome Art Section"?

It's a forum where you can talk about a good experience with an artist you've commissioned and recommend them to the community. You can also review people as customers but it's not as common.
