How can we improve RAT in 2012

[Flavivs Aetivs]

I suspect most groups have their own forums, aimed directly at them, linked to their own website.

Indeed. And how would we forbid other members from looking in/contributing? Every group already posts news and events, anything they'd need to discuss within the group is not suitable for a general forum.

It is worth a thought to create a fourth supporting leg, after Greek, Roman and barbarian warfare, namely a Byzantine/East Roman subforum. Could attract new users.

This is already been discussed a number of times over the past years, especially as a wish of the 'Classical Greeks' on RAT who want to see the later stuff removed from 'their' part of the forum. However, the number of posters in the 'Byzantine' section has always been so low that it never warranted a separate section.

No I mean they could still post, but It's just reccomended for the members of one group only. So one group could talk but other groups coulds still chime in and all share Ideas.

EDIT: Now that I think about it that negates the point of it completely.
