    These gold sellers are a short term solution to an existing and immediate problem. If Jagex is willing to give the PvP community the necessary support, Sharkbrew wouldn't need to go out of its way to find sponsors for a paid event.

    Hmm, that suggestion is quite severe as it will take out a huge chunk of information. Are you going for a minimalist feel here?

    Ye, I get the situation you're in with the ads, it's exactly how Zybez was prior to being purchased by Curse.

    If you look at it from a web design point of view having all the information available and easily accessible is important but it's just as important as making sure your landing page isn't cluttered and flooded with too much information which is how I think it feels right now, it's very overwhelming and not very user friendly to new users. The most important sidebars are going to be new topics, new replies to topics and a place for users to leave their mark. Everything else I'd consider too much.

    This is spot on except I think the recruitment should be left as is under the "clanning" section. Just remove the clan discussion from "clanning" as suggested and make it the new events/aftermath section.

    I think consolidating all the clanning sections under one category via multiple subforums/sub categories would flow better than separating them by index categories but that's just me.

    Good forum layout, i'll implement them later this week

    • Those ads pay for the events we host. They are not going away. We cannot have the cake and eat it. Work with it
    • Which sidebars would u ditch?

     

    I get that they sponsor the events it's just that when you're advertising something that breaks Jagex's rules (i.e Gold selling, in game services etc) you're stopping the community from having any legitimacy so if you ever want Jmod attention/involvement that's going to be impossible. You're also alienating the average RS user since ads like that are associated with shady shit (think keyloggers/rats etc). If you've got no plans to reach a larger audience then fair enough but if that is a long term goal for the site you need to somehow find other ways to sponsor the events or find legitimate (In Jagex terms) sponsors.

    I'd ditch everything except the recent posts/replies and status updates for the sidebars also if there's a way to stop topics from being "pinned" in the recent topics sidebar I think that'd work better or maybe someway to tag them as pinned, it's kind of confusing when you're seeing old topics at the top of the feed followed by the actual recent topics.

    From my point of view, coming from Zybez, it's odd to adjust to having the aftermath/events sections separate from the discussion sections. It'd make more sense as:

    Clan Discussion (Just a forum category, no topics)

    --Mains (this would function as the clan discussion board for mains)

    ----Wild Events

    ----CWA Events

    --Pures (this would function as clan discussion for pures)

    ----Wild events

    ----CWA events

    ----Whatever other subforums you need for pure clans

    --Recruitment

    ----Pures

    ----Mains

    ----Whatever other sub sections you need for different clan types

    I agree with a lot of what Winnetou said:

    -The index is cluttered, fragmented and disorganised and could do with a restructure.

    -There's too many sidebars.

    -It's got an "unprofessional" feel too it which might be what you're going for but I know a lot of main clans moved away from the colourful icons, flairs, Jaggy rule breaking ads and shit like that a long time ago.

    -Some sigs are obnoxiously large and you could do with discussing some kind of limit.

    Considering what sharkbrew is and what it currently allows from members and mods, there is a lot of progress to get anywhere near to a positive standard. I doubt anyone from zybez would want to deal with the average user of this site

    You'd be surprised.

    2. Tell Us About Yourself

    I'm 26 y/o from the UK currently working as a baker.

    3. How Did You Hear About SharkBrew?

    Can't really remember off the top of my head, all I'd heard was it was Zybez but based around the pure scene.

    4. What PvP Communities Are You Part Of? (xlpc, lpc, zerk, main, etc? List all that apply)

    Just main clans.

    5. Clan History

    2008-2013 - Pure Hatred: Clan closed at the end of 2013 shortly after OSRS released.

    2013-2013 - Damage Inc: Joined DI with a few PH members but wasn't for me.

    2013-2014 - Dynasty/Bearz: Again joined with a few of the PH members but I went inactive due to real life obligations and the clan had closed when I came back.

    2014-2018 - Ronin: Still consider myself a part of Ronin since we never officially closed but due to lack of interest in RS from most members and our leader going off to college we're pretty much on hiatus until further notice.

    2018-Now - Vanguard: Joined VNG in February of this year. I wanted to get into the P2P scene after 10 years purely F2P since that's where the action had moved to. Fun clan so far.

    6. Additional Comments

    I've been part of the Zybez staff since 2009 after joining the content team. Once I got involved with clans I became more active in the Clan Discussion section where I worked my way up to Senior Moderator (Admin). Sadly Curse decided to shutdown Zybez for good later next month and this seems to be the place where the mains clans are slowly moving to so here I am.
