Salve, Duelliane (still my all-time favorite SVR cognomen!)...
Oh, dear. We're getting the (re)organizational Urge. Migrate in the fall, organize in the spring... It's a seasonal occurance, I think. About like me doing maintenance on my Lorica every April and October.
Actually, I would object to the moving of those threads. The Roleplay is where it is because both Drama and Literature may be considered "artes". Communal Storytelling is one of the oldest art-forms of all, predating even written literature by some tens of thousands of years. It's nice to sit around and hash over what the Ancients did; but should there not also be a place in the CollArt for works that are being created before our eyes?
The OT-type threads are where they need to be, in General, a good place for miscellanea. I did start a thread there once (whether it was Roman Humor or the Idea Factory I don't recall) that I afterwards thought might go better in one of the Collegia. As our Collegium choices have also dwindled, I don't remember which one I wanted to put it in. Ah, well; no harm, no foul.
Not everything that's fun is a ludus. And some things that are ludi I don't find very entertaining at all! I like reading about the chariot-races, when they're busy and I'm relaxing; they more than justify a separate section. OTOH, I strongly object to venationes. Being who I am, I cannot, under any circumstances, take animal abuse lightheartedly. There are some things you just don't kid me about.
I don't believe my stories belong in the same category as anything like that. No; no thank you. I shall be very angry if I have to scroll past a venatio to get to the RP. They're not a good mix.
Mea sententia,
