This is a request for a simple yes/no poll to vote on the following: Cross-link the "Galleys" discussion board so it appears in all of these period-based topics: ANCIENTS BOARDS MEDIEVAL BOARDS RENAISSANCE BOARDS There are already postings to the Galleys board in all of these time periods (esp. Ancients and Renaissance), but at the moment the Galleys board only appears in ANCIENTS BOARDS. I'm suggesting we extend its appearance to the other time periods we already post about in there. - Ix

PS: An argument can be made to add the Galleys board to the 18TH CENTURY BOARDS and NAPOLEONICS BOARDS as well, but I'd prefer to hold the discussion about that in a different thread since it's more likely to provoke disagreements. This thread is just about demonstrating consensus to include the Galleys board in all the Message Boards topics we already use it for. Please confine comments to a yes/no/why/why not meme, and avoid sidetracking into "we could also" or "why don't we instead". - Ix

Shouldn't Galley's be on the Food Board?…I'll crawl away now.

Sure. Why not?

I'd be happy with naval boards with the spans of: Ancient: BC-1000 Medieval & Renaissance: 1000-1610. There's really not much sense in separating M&R, as there is no "leap" in design or technology. But mostly, individually they wouldn't generate much traffic, so why not lump them together? Age of Sail: 1610-1860. Birth of the "battleship"(ship of the line). Yes, with a few decades of "steam", but you might as well cut it off at- Ironclads (etc…). And yeah, a separate Pirates board.

This thread is just a an up/down vote for the idea in the OP: cross-link Galleys to multiple periods. I think since we already use the Galleys board that way, this idea is a no-brainer. (Just say yes! You know you want to…!) We can debate creating/dividing/consolidating/renaming boards in a different thread, like maybe this thread over here. - Ix PS: There's already a Pirates board under the topic 18TH CENTURY BOARDS. PPS: There's also already an Ironclads board under the topic AMERICAN CIVIL WAR BOARDS. PPPS: And thank you for supporting my assertion that naval gaming boards are hard to find. Please go to this thread discussing the idea to create a NAVAL GAMING BOARDS topic and vote "yes". :-)

No. I would rather have posters make those types of decision.
