I think it would be refreshing to adapt the forum to Hermertia’s changing needs, especially with the (hopefully imminent) rebuilding of the Library. We have unused, misused and duplicated sections, so I’d like to initiate this discussion.
Here’s my suggestions because I’m sure you guys can’t get enough of me poking at everything just yet.
-----Commons
General discussion
Remove description as content is self-evident and General Discussion is a subforum of its own.
----------General
For general discussion of a variety of topics
----------FAQ
New subforum with the FAQs as a sticky post. Description: A place for new comers to ask any questions they might have about Project Hermertia.
----------Trading Hall
New subforum to replace the Markets and Guilds. Description: Request or offer materials, items and services.
----------Maintainence
Correct to “Maintenance” and add description: Discussions related to the administration of the server, forums, wiki or other systems.
----------Off Topic
-----Scholars and Mystics
The lore and history of the lands of The Mercurian Empire.
Remove whole section except “Realms”. Raise “Realms” subforum to main section.
----------Realms
Add description: Realms announcements, communications, updates and other internal affairs.
----------Laws
Remove this section as it is a duplicate
----------Conflicts
Remove this section as it is unused/unnecessary, or define its purpose and add a description.
----------History
Remove section, as topics in this section could be recorded in the library (lore), recorded on the forums under Realms (lore) or posted under the section Ministry of Hermertian History (questions).
----------Religions
Remove section once content is archived in the Library.
----------Annals of Bequethals
This section could be removed as it would easily fall under the forum section for “Realms”. If it must be kept, correct to “Bequeathals”.
-----Maps
Maps of the Overworld, the Netherline network, and overlaid maps with the nether lines and biomes together.
Remove description as content is self-evident and current description is restrictive.
-----Markets and Guilds
The destination for vendors and customers of the Empire, as well as information on the Guild system.
Remove section and replace by Trading Hall in General.
----------Buying
Any and all customers! Post here if you are looking to buy something from across the Empire.
Remove section.

Any and all vendors! Whether a one-time deal or a long-term business, post here if you're looking to sell your goods to others.
Remove section.
----------Guilds
Guilds are spacial groups dedicated to everything from the arts to commerce to slaying monsters. Find out here about the Guilds of Hermertia and their application processes, contact a guild for advice or assistance, or create your own!
Remove section, offers or request of services can be posted in the Trading Hall, Guilds information will be recorded in the Library.
-----Diplomatic Court
All things diplomatic, including the Court of the Crowned, Representative Houses, the Parliament, and Judicial Court.
Remove description, as most of it is a list of the subforums which are visible just below.
----------Imperial Court
This is NOT a judicial court. This is the channel for matters of international diplomacy. Bring issues to the attention of the wider Empire through official channels here.

The House of the Kings, the Council of the Crowned. Discussion amongst the Council only takes place here.
Change description: The use of the Council of the Crowned section is strictly reserved for the Kings, exclusively.
