Yes, I am aware of the unofficial factions list. However, sometimes it is not updated and/or links are broken. This would be a much more simple and straightforward way to browse the section.
Currently, the whole section is a complete mess. Nothing is truly organized. To get straight to the point, I have two solutions to make the unofficial factions section more easy to navigate, therefore allowing people to browse these factions at a more efficient rate, which gets more players into factions, which eventually will make more official factions, which will enhance the RP experience.
Solution 1: -Create a subsection for each type of faction forum. For example, a subsection for recruitment threads, a subsection for communication channels, a subsection for roll calls, and a misc. section.
Solution 2: -Allow the forum section to be sorted and/or filtered with prefixes on threads. E.G. if someone posts a recruitment thread, a person can toggle a filter to only show recruitment threads, or toggle a filter to only show communication channels.
Again, I know about the unofficial factions list. Read the big red text.
I'm not sure about how much effort this would take to move ALL of the threads, but in my opinion it would be worth it to make the section more user friendly.
