To be honest, I don't really like it. I was very used to the Writing Corner being part of the fan Creations, and now all the fake card sets are now in a sub forum which is kinda stupid, and the General TCG Discussion is now on top where deck garage used to be, and vice versa, which always has me clicking deck garage(Fiix my deck FTL!!) instead of General TCG Discussion. CotD gets its own forum, whoop-dee-doo, but the Article Submissions sub forum is good. The anime gets its own sub forum, this is good, and the clans and clubs is still just randomly slopped in. Lol. Eh. I dont like it as much.
to be honest i don't really like it that much.
There have been a couple of questions/complaints about the Fan Creations divide, so I'll explain why we created the new branch, Fake Creations.
Fake Creations was created mainly because of the popularity of TCG fake sets. When threads like these are bunched in with all the other stuff you see in Fan Creations, it's very difficult for thread authors to get feedback on their work as their threads don't remain on the first page for very long (unless they bump them, which inevitably leads to spam posts). We decided to make a new forum for TCG fakes, but realized we could then add other fake things into the mix as well (fake games, fakemon).
In other words, the main purpose of Fake Creations is to reduce clutter in Fan Creations.
Any active fake card threads in Fan Creations are simply moved to Fake Creations. You can see this now, where PMJ's, DDauntless's, and Flame Claw's threads have all been moved to the new forum. As far as old threads go, I don't think they are very important because hardly anyone is going to be looking at them, but if for whatever reason some get revived then they'll just be moved to Fake Creations.
Writing corner is still a part of the Creative Works section though. Nothing has really changed apart from Writing Corner now being easier to spot from viewing the index, which hopefully will lead to an increase in activity. Just give it time.
Hope that answers your questions. I won't really comment on the new TCG forums as it's not a part of the site I am involved with.
