Project scrapped. Add your own threads in subsequent posts if you like to.
Dear readers,
this is intended to be a thread collection (more like an index) throughout the Lore and Roleplaying forum. All notable threads like user stories and roleplaying threads aswell as other, will be entered here. At the same time I'm trying to accommodate a list of the ever-growing pile of class/race suggestions into one single thread.
If you do have any suggestions for one or several to be registered, just post below and I will add it to the index.
WARNING: DO NOT OPEN ALL TOGGLER TREES AT ONCE; CLOSE THE PREVIOUS ONE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT!

That Darn Furbolg
by
Arideni
.
Most players do not know about the lore of individual races and tribes or characters throughout the World of Warcraft-- they just quest and try to reach highest level, only few take the time and learn the lore. Arideni attempts to help the major not-knowing playerbase by composing articles and describing the lore of the creatures in the game. The first one is dealing with furbolgs!
Worgen - E.D. With Attitude
by Arideni.
That's his second article on the lore of creatures, this time it deals with the origin of the dreadful Worgen. Are you courageous enough to continue reading?
Dark Riders, Tree Branches, & Evil Dudes--Oh, My!
by Arideni.
In his third blog, Arideni shifts the focus on the worgen found in Kalimdor to the close relatives in Duskwood, Eastern Kingdoms. Not only he further delves into the history, he also makes thoughts on the other mysterious creatures "living" there. Did you ever wonder about the Dark Riders?
Nordic Northrend

If you want to do something with the way quotes look, another optional solution would be to have the title outside the quote tag, and have a separate quote for each sub-section. Something like:

With proper links of course. Using small font here and there helps too. For instance, I would make the individual chapters of each story small, just to conserve space. At this rate, we'll have quite a few stories, and they all seem to grow up fairly quickly now that they get recognition.
Below is the the code of what I used as an example. It looks horrible this way, but you could copy it and just read over to fix the empty spaces, and then add links.

Thanks, Argent!
But where would
you
use small font? I don't see where it could fit or is needed.
No bullets next to the individual chapters?
Edit:Oh, and by the way, Argent, is there a formatting feature for columns? I would love to use it for the chapters.

ArgentSun
No, I use Notepad and tabbing to make columns...
And when I said small font, I meant:

Well, change the Roleplaying too, don't make it stand out like that!

Good now?
Or should I sort it by guide and roleplaying threads rather than by user?

ArgentSun
They are good enough to me.

I renamed my histories, nothing too major, just instead of saying Volume 1 I appealed to RP and put 1st Tome, etc...
As I said, nothing too big, just fyi.
5th being made at the moment.

That would take a lot of work, a lot of time, and a lot of effort.
But it sounds like a lot of fun, I'll consider it if you find some other people willing to help.

- Post up a Call of Arms on the Forums or something, I don't know.
- And Page 10 is out, and, Argent sun, you have me as MarkofRivendare, I'm MorecofRivendare.
- And that Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 are the collective chapters of Light and Death, not a new story.

Nonsense! Every time I have mentioned your name, I've spelled it properly.
On topic, I have a suggestion - Table of Contents. Now it's only a minor problem, but as time passes, I believe we will have quite a few topics in here, and navigating between them may be a bit of a trouble (or just time-consuming). Here's my idea about ToC: have it tag coded. Add the names of each section and subsection, as every good ToC should do, but add a (unique) tag enclosed in brackets as well to facilitate faster search. For example:
Lore
Blogs
...1 ...
...2 ...
Discussions
....1 ....
....2 ....
....3 ....
Roleplaying
User-written Stories
Suggestions
Of course you'll need to edit the titles as well, but that's a minor edition. The entire project may be a little lengthy and I am not completely sure it will look aesthetic, so if I were you, I'd rather wait on a few opinions before I do anything about it.
