Does HW have any way of making suggestions to the forum team? We have ways to ask questions about what's up, but not ways to suggest making new things up... at least as far as we can tell.

We do not, Reiyen. That is an excellent idea. A suggestion box would be very useful, I think.

So far everyone has just messaged me or Dieki or posted in here. Haha. A subforum in the Q&A room for suggestions might be in order.

Not for questions, Jay. For suggestions.

A suggestion is a type of question. "Would it be a good idea to do this?" It works better than a whole new room. :)

I say we start a suggestions thread, and call it the Suggestions Box.

A thread's probably sufficient to start out, especially if you sticky it. A room seems a bit extensive at this point.

I've been thinking about the need for such a thread lately.

If I remember right, we had such a thread early on. It got archived I believe. It got rather cluttered with all the discussions on all the different ideas all in one spot, and trying to sift through to find the actual ideas was pretty difficult.

Actually, I think we could simply rewrite the criteria for Q&A to include suggestions. If someone wanted to make a suggestion I'd tell them to come here anyway. A suggestion thread would get messy, because really each suggestion should have its own conversation, and then be able to be archived.

Vanya already said what I would have said :P I think the Q&A room could easily expand to include this as well, since I don't see as there would be a whole ton of feature requests.

That sounds like something to try, at least. If it doesn't work, then we can always try something else. :D

Why don't we change the name of the room to Q&A and [insert something about suggestion box]?

Good idea, Elanor. The description of the forum should also be changed as well, perhaps?

Instead of having it be 'Ask questions about the forum, request bug fixes, and etc.' We could make it: 'Ask questions about the forum, request bug fixes, make suggestions and etc.' :)

**likes stating the obvious**

I agree, except I'd put a comma after "suggestions." ;)

If we change this, it should be altered across all three forums.
