Better today than yesterday, but I imagine it's related to the overall traffic right? I think that's why it's intermittent for me, cause sometimes it loads instantly, sometimes takes several minutes.
If they do set up new boards, I think they should allow upvotes since that would probably take some of the pressure off thread bumping during high traffic periods. I would avoid passive downvotes though, since most forums have that feature anonymous. I think that anonymity can encourage pettiness and mean spirits in the tit for tat, with little benefit to the overall discourse coming from the -1.
ps. I also think they should pay their moderators, cause that's work, and often unglamorous work lol. Battling spam and torching out trolls all day can be dispiriting. Mainly though I think they should do it to ensure they have a Flaming Fist moderator in each major timezone. To catch stuff as it's happening or before it gets unseemly, lock threads when it makes sense, and then trash compact those threads in another section, so they aren't sucking up all the oxygen in the room. Thinking more about the steam situation there, though it sometimes bleeds over.
Mostly though I just wanted kick around boards that are about BG3 specifically, as a Dungeons & Dragons game. You know with BG3 themed avatars, sections related to the Nexus for Mods. Maybe an RP category or Power gaming category. That sort of stuff. I would ditch "General" as a forums category, since it's far too general hehe.
