Consolidate All Forums
I’m petitioning to consolidate all forums under forums.berachain.com.
This would result in deprecating and redirecting the following sites:
-
hub forum
-
honey forum
Reasoning
The following is the motivation behind consolidating all forums.
Confusion
Many members, including our team are confused as to where proposals are suppose to be submitted. This also leads to enforcing red tape where confusion is already present:
“Sorry that proposal shouldn’t be posted here, it should be posted there.”
As you can imagine this demotivates users from participating in the conversation.
Visibility & Participation
If the goal is to give higher visibility and encourage participation, it’s much easier to ask a user to just go to one site vs try and keep up to date with 3.
It is also easier from a logistical point of you to tell users to go to forum dot berachain dot com vs going to different sites depending on their proposal.
Having everything under a single site would be benefit both visibility and participation.
Consolidated Accounts
NEW - Allow users to only have one account to manage across multiple forums.
Proposed Solution & Work Involved
Better Organization
Like most forums, I would like to propose just more categories for better organization in the current forum. Users can still use search, but feel confident that their results would include all proposals.
Keep Existing Sites As Archives
Have the other forums set to read-only, and have them redirect to copies of the proposals in the main forum to drive traffic back to the main forum url.
