Hey [@Mahz] could you elaborate a little on this:

"A new interest check system where all interest checks just show up on one big list with a lot of filtering options. I would probably fit a tagging-system into this feature."

Do you mean to have a Search Feature that can sift through all interest checks and have the ability to filter buzz words? Or are you thinking something else...? Like another section where all interest checks (1x1, arena, groups, general, etc) are and someone can look through them without disrupting say, the 1x1 Interest Check section? And as far as tags go, (since I'm not "for" them, I'm just trying to get a sense of where they'd be or how they'd be used and viewed in a normal subforum) where would they be seen? Would the OP of a thread toggle certain generic tags and then in the thread, they'd be at the bottom? But if someone's looking in a section, there wouldn't be tags unless say, you hovered your mouse over the title or looked inside the thread itself?

Just curious as to how your idea would be implemented and what the greater details would be. I do see a usefulness to be able to find what you're looking for, if say you're looking for fantasy but don't know what level or size group you have in mind. But with the additions you've done recently, I'd say things are looking very nice.

The current interest check system (a subforum for each RP forum) grew from a limitation of vBulletin.

You currently have to click into eight different subforums to browse all interest checks which is silly. It also causes a lot of fragmentation. A lot of casual RPs aren't much different from advanced RPs, and since not everyone cross-pollinates between the subforums, every interest check loses out on potential visibility.

A better system would be to display all interest checks on one page. Free vs Casual vs Advanced, Tabletop, 1x1, Nation -- these are all merely traits of the interest check. I want to filter interest checks by Nation + Tabletop. Nation + Fantasy. 1x1 + Adult + Advanced. Titles containing "Naruto" + Free + Casual. Whatever. 

This way, all interest checks have maximum visibility, and you aren't forced into the current organization silos which, frankly, don't make sense. It's merely a hack that 1x1 is its own forum.

It's something I want to launch alongside the current system at [url]roleplayerguild.com/interest-checks[/url] as I experiment and get feedback. At first, it will automatically list interest checks in all the interest check subforums so that I can build it without disrupting the current system.
