(Quoted from my mass PM/e-mail)
As you may have already guessed by looking at the main page, there have been some major changes to the forum within the last 24 hours. I consulted with graphic and web designers for the past several weeks offline, and I have come to the conclusion that there were just too many sub-boards on the site. Now, this may seem laughable when considering how many sub-boards DC once had (about 30 or so, in hindsight ;D ).
However, I needed to look at DC not solely from an administrator's point of view, but from that of a new poster. Where would they go once they started posting? With that in mind, I have eliminated dead-thread boards, in that the search feature in the "normal" boards is perfectly suitable for finding old or "dead" threads. The off-topic sub-board has also been relocated to the Batman/Superman section, as we now have Batman/Superman and everything else under one roof, so to speak.
The interviews have also been merged into one board for ease of browsing and posting. My goal was not to confuse anyone with the former layout, but I feel that this new design will flow better for both new and old members.
Thank you for your patience and continuing support of DC... Have a great day
