Not sure what the problem is to be honest. I think most/all forum sections are appropriately labelled. Utilizing the what's new feature also helps maneuver through new threads.
My orientation is more in systems of information. Reading daily postings in chron order is akin to reading a Lucy Lovelorn column or my Great Great Uncle Wellington's letters in the chest in the attic. And for people who have very little time or brain orientation for such things, it is physically painful to do so.
If you have to look through the Great Uncles travel chest of papers every time you want to see how many shirts and ties he packed when he went to Barbados last year (because you want to travel there), but don't remember the date of the note, it will take a while. However, if you have a data table of travels, with a column (among other columns) of clothing packed, you need only reference the table, whether you travelled there last week or 3 years ago. Further, your travels to any country could be there.
Now, I could, as you suggest, spare myself the absolute misery of culling through that maze (or in your words, the appropriately labelled forum) and reading pages 1 to infinity, but going through it ONCE, and creating tables of relevant information (including hyperlinks to the reference in the forum), then I could have the right information, on the right topic, at the right time at my fingertips. But then I would be doing the forum's work for it.
One of my fellow teammates already wrote a database tool to address missing utility in the game, but he tweaked it for months, had to store it somewhere, update it regularly, field complaints from all over, and it seriously drew down his energy for enjoying the game of grepolis. So why not have the people responsible for making the forum relevant and useful, make it ... "relevant and useful". Most of the infinity pages are complaints about just that.
Player - when is such and such going to happen.
Mod - asked and answered mate - READ THE FORUM.
Player - useful suggestion submitted.
Mods - Suggestion ALREADY MADE - READ THE FORUM.
Player - why is grepolis doing such and such?
Mods - READ THE FORUM
Player - so and so is cheating and I can prove it
Mods - READ THE FORUM so you know you cannot discuss this here
Player - But you didn't take into account...
Mods - READ THE FORUM
Player - but
[miffed] Mods - READ THE FORUM! [thread closed]
That's how a LOT of the forum seems to be often, and then there's the deleted parts that I cannot find anymore that poofed out of existence.
It's not that people don't want to read the forum. They will. When it is relevant and useful and does not cause anguish due to format.
And the parts that are relevant and useful ARE being read.
So that's the long winded version of what didn't need to be said for most of us, but apparently needed elaboration for others. And if you didn't read this, or thought it was irrelevant, and still think the forum is
abso-TOOT-ly loverly, then you have a very very small inkling, by reading this, what it must be like for those who are just wanting to find a bit of data, and instead have to read 300 narratives to locate it.
