OK... you have kind of been asking for this...
For quite a while, we have been aware that there is a serious issue with the amount of content the site receives and how fast good content can be pushed off the front page of particular forums.
We have a long term plan to address this but that is going to take considerable time and money so in the meantime we have a stopgap solution that many of you have been asking for: we are taking the largest franchises and breaking them out of the "general" prop and costume forums.
We did a test earlier this year with a single franchise, Dredd and are pretty pleased with the results. We are now ready to roll this out in a larger scale.
We will be adding three new forums*:
Star Wars Costumes and Props
DC Costumes and Props
Marvel Costumes and Props
Much like the Dredd forum, these will serve as catchalls for anything that falls within those franchises, allowing you to look at the things you want to look at, avoid the things you don't want to look at, and allow the general costume and general prop forums to slow down a bit.
With this change, we will also be merging the Costume and Cosplay Showcase forum as it was a failure and not truly worth maintaining.
This of course means things will be changing and shifting over the next week, so please be patient with us as we make these changes.
*Please note that since these are franchise specific forums, they will contain props and costumes from any media associated with that franchise (movies, television, books & video games).
