Why hasn't they added sub threads yet?

[Aleisterz]

It has been 4 years and you think by know they would think to add sub threads by now? Tired of clicking DPS Role, Tank Role, etc threads and seeing all the different job discussions just throw in there and shake up like a raffle ball. So chaotic.

Edit: Oh frick me. I noticed I typo'd haven't to hasn't on the subject. Rip my soul.

your Soul will burn for this. >

on topic because sub threads are a waste of gil payers money

It would be nice to see more threads with things like classes, concepts, role playing, art and race. As mentioned it would cost money to make happen and Reddit already most likely has all this set up.

This entire forum is outdated and in need of a rehaul.
-Remove daily posting, period.
- 1k limit, I know the workaround but still.
- Offtopic section and things OP and Alestorm said.
Forums feel SLOPPY to me lol.
I would like to use the main forums more but the restrictions are annoying.

It can't cost so much to add sub threads like "Paladin discussion, Dark Knight, etc" under Tank Roles? I mean, there are places where you can have a forum just like this for free. While it would be nice to have threads like those, I just want and am QQing about the Tank/Dps/Healer Role threads being disorganized and chaotic AF and there not being sub threads for them still. Like what WoW has. >:l

It's a custom vBulletin, so it shouldn't be too many clicks per sub. Maybe mess with the permissions if needed.

Okay, I thought I misunderstood the topic, but apparently I didn't.

I administrated a vBulletin forums for roughly 10 years. We started out as a 3.x, but I was foolish and upgraded to 4.0 in the second or 3rd year and screwed a lot of stuff I programmed for it, heh...

But anyways.

vBulletin is built with a lot of "hooks" where you can make a "plugin" to do virtually ANYTHING.

I programmed Triple Triad onto my forum--no bullcrapping here. Except I made it where one certain usergroup could "create" cards, given a PNG with transparent background, and had an interface for them to input numbers, elements, etc.

I programmed a "Mafia" game where you could ONLY see certain threads if the game I auto-programmed into it assigned you a certain "Role" in Mafia.

I programmed so much more for that forum, and I can confidently say, as I was a 1-man-team back then, what the OP is asking for would neither require much time nor much money. In fact, they have several such plugins (with support) at vBulletin.org.

I chose vBulletin in fact BECAUSE it was so customizable, even with third-party stuff, instead of getting something free.

They really COULD do so much more with these forums with not that much effort.

The could program filters in, too.

Or people could just tag threads properly. (I'm guilty.)
