they're both two forums we don't need. that's how they're related. if you want to change voters then we might as well put ALL the battles in the forums for people who actually discuss battles and enjoy doing it. i'm not staunch against it, but the new 'extra forum' we have (Batt. Advertise) isn't utilized as much as it should be. then we ad another group of battles that will get advertised where? in the text lounge once it's slept on in the advertisment forums.
What needs to be changed is how battles are done on the main site. As a battle gets votes it should bump back up to the top like a refular forum as most recent voted on. the 'not as hot' battles would justify the proper use of the Battle Advertisment.
Do away with Exclusive Area and do Topical instead. and you have better utilization of the exclusive arena instead of having a sometimey space that's dead 99% of the time.
And nah, it's not simple, but it's an idea. Do what you will with the forums, but it's an ephemral thing that will die out like many of the other forums.
Condense things and MAKE people have to utilize what the site has to offer. That's how I would go about it if it were me. no disrepsect to you UA.
