To Administrarion - Proposal - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

BOOKS II, as you’ll recall, was an artificial division of THE BOOKS forum necessitated by the thread length restrictions of EZ-Board. UBB had no such restrictions, but we found it simpler to export the forum to UBB exactly as it was and worry about combining the Books into one later. It turned out to be much later, but it did finally happen, and THE BOOKS is now as it always should have been.

Dividing THE BOOKS or any other forum would be possible, but would create havoc aesthetically. The Downs already has 15 forums which stretch down a few pages on even high-res screens. To add even more would clutter the page further and worsen its overall appearance. Such an idea might start with Balrogs and Rings, but eventually could cascade into a long list of favorite topics until the forum was ten pages high.
