At the moment the forums work like this:

Emulation
-> Rom Hacking -> Tutorials + Research/Development +Toolbox
-> Hacks Showcase -> Progressing Hacks + Sideshow Hacks
-> Team Discussions

  1. I don't understand why 'Team Discussions' is a subforum of emultation instead of Rom Hacking.
  2. The Emulation section itself is rather void, and could be better off as a Video Games subforum. If not then...
  3. All the branches off Emulation are directly off Rom Hacking - so that should probably be the main forum instead. Rom Hacking -> Emulation etc.

So basically what I'm proposing is:

Rom Hacking
-> Hacks Showcase -> Progressing Hacks + Sideshow Hacks
-> Tutorials
-> Toolbox
-> Research/Development
-> Team Discussions
(-> Emulation)* Here, or in another section.

This would also stop new users getting confused about where the Rom Hacking section is, as it makes it a bigger section ^-^.

I personally think the sections should be arranged as so:

ROM Hacking & Emulation*
- Hacks Showcase
-- Progressing Hacks
-- Sideshow Showcase
- Toolbox
- Tutorials
- Research & Development
- Team Discussions

* I also suggest we merge the Emulation and ROM Hacking forums as both are quite inactive by themselves. You could then just introduce [ROM Hack] and [Emulation] tags to seperate threads I guess. Though tbh I don't really see the point in Emulation at all so I wouldn't mind that part of the section just being flat-out removed :/

Yes I like this suggestion as well, generally 'Rom Hacking' being in the title of the section would be great.

As a ROM hacker and Fuhrer of PC I really like this idea, since there isn't really a point to Emulation anyway.

DrFuji and I are discussing what you guys have brought up (next time tell us about threads like these so we can get back to you sooner, hahaha :P). Although to be honest we're not decided on anything yet seeing as moving things around can be a bit tricky/awkward, and requires a fair bit of contemplation. So we are discussing it, but nothing has been decided. :)

Yes! This would be amazing. Honestly the current layout really set me off haha. but there is still a point to Emulation like just discussing it in general but we could use [Emulation] tags like this.
[Emulation] How do I play PS1 games on my computer?

It'll be cool. :)

I like the fact that we're suggesting to bring all sub-subforums of the ROM Hack section to one main-subforum, like it used to be back when I first joined.

I hate it now, like, when I'm wandering in the Hack Showcase, and then I feel like visiting the ROM Hacking to look at the Simple Questions / Script Helps, I NEED to click Emulation, and then ROM Hacking... -___-
Before, it was a one-click-go.

I also like the idea of merging Emulation and ROM Hacking, and making the unison as the main section.

Merging Rom Hacking and Emulation is a good idea to make it more active :D
