I'll monitor new membership at the end of October against posting outside of the PES sections and see what impact the welcome email has had on new joiners.

I still, obviously, strongly advocate reviewing the structure of the forum.

Yes, we will see what we can do about restructuring the layout. I'm not sure how incorporating the general and PES forums will work due to the sheer amount of PES forums we currently have. Hints and Tips and Goal Gallery could probably be made into sub-forums and I have no idea what's happening with the feedback section as it seems rather pointless at the moment.

I think a sub section for the plethora of less used PES forums is a good move, it would also be a good chance to archive and merge some of them as well.

In terms of the Konami feedback forum, personally I'd bin it as it tends to be spammed with shite. I'm not sure whether it realistically has any practical use on the forum anymore.

I'll send Matt Holme a message before I bin it just in case. At the same time I might remind him about updating to vbulletin 3.8.7

Good luck on the vBulletin update, wouldn't this be at least the 3rd time he's been asked?

Has it ever?

We heard the rumours, but did anyone from Konami ever visit?

I think they saw one of Amateurs analogue stick posts and decided not to come back

[fick]

You may well be right.

[Michu]

Mike, why not just archive the Konami feedback thread into the Elite archive section? If Matt does want it back it'll be easy to restore.

It's not a hotbed of activity but there were still a couple of new posts today and some more from this and last month. I don't want loads of users creating the same thread twice or creating threads/sending PMs asking where they thread went/where the feedback zone went.

How about a forum wide announcement post, a la signatures, re: the feedback thread - Could also use it to announce structural changes?

[Phatmann]

Ideally I'd like to hear what Matt Holme has to say about the feedback zone before making any announcements. I won't wait forever but I'll give him a week before I take it into my own hands.

That's fair enough. How do you envisage best restructuring, move the active PESGaming sections to PESGaming.com and incorporate the Football forums into that section?

[IronCity]

don't fix what isn't broke; plenty of daily posts in the Pes sections, mountains of faces, option files, kit pngs, more than any other site. This is the go to site for these data. I don't get what the need is for all the suggested changes.

[Appswah]

It's to get some of the PES section users into the off topic section.
