I gave feedback about another subforum (software engineering) via email but thought it might be useful to add as a comment here about this one.
The ‘subforum’ seems to be more of a chatroom than a traditional subforum with separate threads where posts can be voted and promoted to the main forum.
It will be harder to create an internal subculture and to grow as a community.
This will make it much more unlikely to succeed and stop future subforum experiments even though this isn’t a true subforum.
Another benefit of designing it as a traditional subforum is that there are already lots of related EA forum posts that could be placed in the subforum and allow people to engage with content straight away.
Thanks! I’ll pass this along to the CEA dev team. They’re working on adding channels, threads, etc but wanted to release something while the rest gets developed.
