This sequence of posts from the forum reorg thread in Community Business indicates that we've got some work to do:
Solice, I have a question. Will the contents of each Old World sub-forum be restored from the current melting pot forum? Or will we have to start again from a blank forum (which still exists, it's just locked), and go to the Old Worlds main forum for old threads?
I would assume threads can be moved around upon request once the re-org is completed. But that's just a hunch.
It'll mean somebody has to spend the time to go through the forum and make a list of threads that need moved and then post that list in the D&D and D&D 4e Forum Lead Suggestions thread.
This is correct, I asked the same question in hopes of a simple sollution.
Silly me. 
So, looks like we'll have to make lists of threads to have moved from the common "other worlds" forum back into the separate forums for each world.
This is going to be a job for more than one person. Let's try not to duplicate our work. If you want in on the thread-moving action, coordinate with people here or at least check the Forum Lead Suggestions thread and see which ones have already been included in a request. To make that easier, I'm going to suggest that requests to move threads should include not just a link to the web address or thread number, but also the name of the thread.
If anyone has any other suggestions about how best to do this, I'm sure we'd all appreciate hearing them.

Okay, now the re-org is done. Time to start repopulating the forums for the individual worlds. Take a look at my preceding post to see how we can go about that.

Is there any way to set or add Tags to the varous threads, making it maybe a little easier to sort out the now intermixed forum?
Or is there some secret admin tool I'm just not aware of?

But... but... but... almost all the (current) threads in the Other Worlds forum already ARE tagged in their subjects as [Campaign world] or within the subject itself, such as mortellan's "Greyhawk Webcomic" thread (I think I can guess which forum that one should be moved to). Wouldn't the easiest first step be for the admins to simply move over those threads? Are lists of already tagged threads really that necessary to knowing which threads need to be moved? Once that is done, then obviously any remaining untagged threads could be itemized. How about this? Could a group of long-active (and theoretically trustworthy) individuals from each of the setting communities be temporarily granted the power to move threads? Of course, it is possible... but would the board admins consider it? A LOT of work could be done quite quickly that way without burdening the already busy board admins.

Posted a listing of DragonLance threads from the first 25 pages of the current (9/15/08) "Other Published Worlds" forum. Only 529 pages left to sort through! (This is crazy.)
Don't forget that the "Think we'll ever catch up to X" threads don't usually belong in X subforum.
Assuming they move all those threads, won't that change the page count on the "Other Published Worlds" forum?? Is that bad?

I'm not quite sure why we should be the ones to fix things when we weren't the ones to break anything.
The PiazzaA renaissance of the Old Worlds. Where any setting can be explored, any rules system discussed, and any combination of the two brought to life.

It was so easy to dump all of the old forums into the merged forum, but apparently there's no easy way to put them back. Strikes me as a stupendous lack of foresight, to merge them all with no easy way to pull them back out.
I don't know why the admins didn't move the ones that are clearly tagged, at least from the first page or two, but I suspect that they didn't want to start down that road. This way, it's all on us.
And it's on us because we're the ones who care.
