It seems the game-specific discussion forums don't get much use.
Posts in there generally fit into one of these categories:
- offering airlines up for shared control
- asking non-world-specific questions more suited for the General AE Discussion forum
So I think we should:
- remove the world-specific forums
- create a "Airline Takeover / Shared Control Requests" subforum under General AE Discussion
- change the in-game "Forums" link to point to the root forum index
Some players have been posting those sharing requests in the General AE Discussion forum anyway, since it gets more attention than posting in the world-specific forums.
This change allows us to:
- clean airline sharing requests out of the General AE Discussion forum
- give those requests more attention than the world-specific forums did
- get players' questions answered faster instead of having those posted in deeply nested, rarely visited forums
- increase activity in the main forums
- promote Suggestions, Logo/Livery Requests, and other subforums to the root level
