The Library is really active!
It's pretty obvious that the Library should be dissolved. Who really wants to talk about a game this old anyway. We already know pretty much everything. No one wants to talk about the game anymore. Just look at how inactive this place is. The only time anyone talks about Heroes 3 anymore is when they talk about Myths or some other online tournament.

I just think that we already the Lands of Axeoth. Why can't we just lump all the library threads into Lands? We don't need one forum for just HOMM4 and then another one for HOMM4 and all the other HOMM's. Besides there is nothing to talk about for HOMM 2 or 3 unless it's about tournaments and most people discuss that in the Tournament of Honor thread. I find that there is little use for the library at this point.

Then why not re-name it the Map Editor Libray of Enlightment?
There we can dicuss the ways of making and understanding map making for all heroes series including Heroes IV since the map editor is so confusing and complicated.

Library of Enlightenment
A more to the point statement would be:
The Tavern is really active
While the Library may not be as active as some other forums, it still serves great purpose to those in countries which do not have Heroes IV, have a Macintosh, or just like Heroes III, II, or I better than IV! I believe the Library is an integral part of the HC and should stay in its current form.
Who wants to talk about an old game anyway? Many people. Maybe if you spent more time in the Library, or at least looking at it from time to time, you would see that it has a healthy number of posters who still talk about other Heroes versions-mostly for help. At the moment, there are 8 threads which have been responded to in the last 3 days. That is quite good going for the Library, and obviously, if people didn't want the Library to exist, many of these questions wouldn't get answered.
Also, if you look down the first page, there are quite a number of threads with a healthy number of posts and views, many are about previous series, too.
"Why can't we just lump all the library threads into Lands?"
Because the Lands of Axeoth is a purely Heroes IV forum, and it is what this community is built around!! It isn't the Tavern! The community was made to satisfy the needs of users to talk about the game, discuss future Heroes games, and discuss strategies; not to waste mammoth amounts of time in the Tavern.
I would love to see the Tavern closed myself. People should be talking about Heroes not in and about threads like: Can you guess who I am?, Does this dress make me look fat?, Just your average Thread 2, The Saddam Husseins Lovers Club, and What's the most annoying thing in your life! Wow very interesting!!!! 
If the Tavern were closed, I wonder how the community would react, I know that there are many Quality posters around. Why not translate that into Heroes V wishes or Heroes III, IV strategies? Is there nothing better to do than talk about nothing in the Tavern! I wouldn't have a problem with the Tavern if it were full of RL threads, or Help threads, but everything seems so meaningless in the long run.
Lately, there has been a resurgance of the Altar of Wishes. People are using their brains and talking about the new Heroes in development. Also in the Lands of Axeoth, a few more are beginning to post there.If the Tavern were closed, it could do 1 or 2 things in my mind.
1. People would be drawn to posting more about Heroes
2. They would just leave the community.
I don't see the Round Table having chats about nothing-they don't have a Tavern and many just get along fine and talk about Heroes. Closing the Tavern would also stop the constant squabbling going on there.
I like the Library since it is so general and people can discuss any aspect of Heroes in it.
Grythandril:
You can discuss Map Editor makings etc. already, the library is such a broad place. If there were a place which 'should be dissolved' it is the Tavern.
EDITED: October 14.
I wasn't meaning to rid the community of the Tavern forever. I would just like to see the repercussions closing the Tavern for a week would have a community. I myself believe that people can put their time and effort into talking about something like Heroes IV or V. While I like the inclusion of RL threads in the Tavern, they are outnumbered by others.
Lord Woock, there are not too many others who don't want to talk about Heroes III OR Heroes IV, so maybe they would revert to posting in one of them.
I wouldn't mind if the Tavern were about as active as the ToH board, but that isn't true, and most new members just go straight there and start posting.
If there were any forum that I would like to see closed, it is the Tavern. But, I wouldn't like to see it closed forever, maybe just a week to see what happens.

I haven't actually posted in the Tavern yet but I did take a quick peek and I was actually a bit frightened at what I saw. People argueing over something.
But I also think they have some good discussions about RL.
I think this board is very nice. There seems to be room for everyone here and I do find it a bit strange that people are wanting to close some sections.
Can't we all just get along and stick to what interests us?
Personally I don't know anything about the technical side of Heroes but I do enjoy the game.
Also I've seen that online playing and playing by yourself requires different tactics. How interesting
I'm not sure I have the courage to go and play online just yet though but maybe in time 
In the mean time I'm just glad to read about all the different aspects of the game and I think I might also enjoy the serious discussions in tavern. Again I will wait to post i tavern until things cool down a bit 
In conclusion: I don't think any of the sections should be scratched. Stick to what attracts you and all will be fine
Just the opinion of a member who doesn't know much

You have a point, Hydra, but not all you say is true. The Tavern is what makes Heroes Community a community. You don't like the Tavern? Don't post there! Don't even look there! Ok, so we have Lands of Axeoth, Library of Enlightenment, Heroes5 Altar of Wishes and the Tournament of Honor. But I don't like Heroes4, so I don't post in the Lands of Axeoth. I don't know much about HoMM3, I don't know anything about HoMM4, and hardly anyone wants to talk about HoMM1 and 2. So I don't post in the Library of Enlightenment. I think that there's no need for wishing about HoMM5, cuz I'll be disappointed anyway. I'm not much of a strategist, so there's no point of me posting in the TOH. So if the Tavern of the Rising Sun was to be deleted, Heroes Community would lose me as an active poster. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one who would leave.

That's a great post with lots of points. Unfortunately, I can tell that you don't understand what I'm really trying to say.
We don't need a forum for just Heroes 4 and then a forum for strategy, mapmaking, etc. Since the Library is strategy for all Heroes and Lands of Axeoth is Heroes 4 strategy it makes no sense to have an extra forum for just Heroes 4 when we can have just one forum for Heroes strategy, mapmaking etc. Or we can have a forum for just strategy, another for just mapmaking, another for newbie help, etc. My arguement is more directed towards the organization of the forums. I guess I wasn't very clear. I don't think that Heroes should be organized by "Heroes Strategy" and then "only Heroes 4" when you can also post about Heroes 4 strategy in the Library.
This makes no sense. It's quite unorganized. Since the Library has been less active lately as usual. I think that organizing the forums by strategy, troubleshooting(campaigns, patches), map making, etc.
The library being inactive only gave me the initial idea. It seems to me that whenever I say anything like this everyone just argues instead of adding to the thought.
Even though there may be more activity lately, over the past month, it has been virtually dead. The other part is that I don't see any of the threads like Hit & Run or topics over secondary skills or demonology. The overall quality of Library threads has been low for quite while now. The last good thread I saw was Andi's thread little but interesting details in h3. Perhaps it is time to do some re-organizing for a new generation of Heroes posters. This setup has worked great in the past, but I don't think that anyone would setup the place the way it is now.

The Library
As far as I can see, the Library is quite active at the moment, actually. I remember times when it wasn't rare to find not one new post per day. And yet, from the time I came on yesterday, to now, there have been about 20 new posts, which is a great number, and surprisingly, only 2 came from this thread. The others have come from Heroes III related posts which is a sign that people still play Heroes III and still wish to talk about it. Whats more, other members are getting are getting actively involved in these discussions, and have decided to start posting a lot in a short amount of time. If more members such as yourself, Redsoxfan3 started posting in the library, there could be more of these threads, and the board could be more known for talking about Heroes than talking about other non-heroes related thread. That is how I believe the Round Table percieves us. I would post more openly at the round table, but I feel at HC we have the capacity to do better than post solely in the Tavern. I'm not saying posting in the Tavern is bad, but I'd like to see more people post in other forums instead of spending their whole time there. What is the reason for them joining the community? To talk about Heroes or to talk about non-heroes things. I believe in most cases it is the former. If there were no Tavern, newer members would be nun the wiser, and would just post at the other forums. Also, if the Tavern were less active, people would be attracted to it like a magnet, since not many things would be occurring, it would be just your average board, like it was when I joined over a year ago.
Before the emergance of the Tavern, all the other forums were flourishing, and the Altar had the most posts and threads by far. If we could go back to that, I would be extremely happy. I've seen how well HC members can post, andI just wish they would convert that to the Altar or H4 strategies, or something Heroes related. It is HEROES Community, is it not?
"We don't need a forum for just Heroes 4 and then a forum for strategy, mapmaking, etc."
The same argument could be made about the Tavern. We don't need a whole forum to talk about nothing.Maybe we can slip the Tavern up, but leave the spam part of it behind. An RL section, and a Newbie and Help section.
Concerning the Library, I think it and the Lands of Axeoth are doing quite well on their own, and are attracting a fair few posters. If I had the time and was not bottled up with the usual Year 8 intake of homework, I would post much more strategies and Ideas than I do now.
I can see the difference between the criteria you listed above, people need the two for different purposes, and they do post about 10 a day. When there were Heroes IV wishes and Heroes III was the current game, we definitely needed a separate forum for them. Maybe it is because too many post in the tavern that the focus has gone from the two. Closing down or merging a Heroes forum would be seen as a win for the tavern in my eyes.
"Since the Library has been less active lately as usual."
Certainly not. A thread started by Wub not long ago attracted nearly 100 posts in about a month. That isn't bad going from what I've seen previously. I'm a veteran here, (even longer than Hexa) and I've seen the Library in much worse times than it is now, and people have got through. Theere is not need to close it now when it actually is fairly active.
"The overall quality of Library threads has been low for quite while now."
Come on, Redsoxfan 3, look past the first page, threads started by Abazagaroth, Wub, Attila, Shadow Elf and even your Tavern posting counterpart, 2Xtreme2Take have posted good 60+ or inspiring threads over the past month. That is really saying something. Since I see that the quality in the Tavern is nothing next to the quality displayed in other Heroes forums.
"But the tavern has earned its own rights of existance.
Lands of Aexoth has yet to prove that .."
Funny you should say that, Hexa. While the Tavern has been active, it is by no means a quality forum, and quality is certainly better than quantity, and the Tavern has shown a superfluity of the latter, and none of the former. It is quite sad, in some cases. While the Lands of Axeoth, not being as good quality as it can be, is serving its purpose by answering specific questions on Heroes IV and providing a good base for mapmaking and Heroes IV related issues. 6,500 posts isn't too bad for 6 months, 1/3 of the community's life.
There are just so many things one can talk about in the Tavern without getting tired. How many Word Association Games? How many RPGs? How many destinationless threads can be created? I look forward to the day that the Tavern reverts back to a normal, Heroes Community forum.

Until recently, I would not have agreed with most of what ThE_HyDrA says here. During the course of the last two weeks though, my vision on a lot of things concerning the heroes community has changed thoroughly.
None of the boards should go in my opinion, they all serve their purpose. Something needs to be done about the Tavern urgently, that's true. Removing the Tavern would be a rather severe action, but it is an option. I've decided to stop posting in the Tavern myself a couple of days ago since I cannot find myself in the way things evolve in there. If I come up with a great idea for a real life thread I might still post it in the tavern, but I'm done with the blahblah posting and thread creating. Therefor I politely ask the mods to lock the following two threads which I created in all my noobishness. Deleting them is also fine with me, and I'd prefer the quality point I've been given in one of them to be removed.
http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=5498
http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=6538
I believe, like ThE_HyDrA, that the popularity of the Tavern has a devastating effect on the effort members put into the other boards. But the true problem I see is what happens inside of the Tavern. Countless threads are created that vary only a tiny bit from other threads in it. Some members here are sole Tavern posters. I'm not saying that this applies to all of them, but most of their posting is just plain spamming. Including a lot of my posting up till now, I know. I wish to apologize for that. The many pointless threads that flood the tavern push down the quality threads so fast that many good threads never have a chance to last more than several days. Some members do their best to create and contribute to interesting real life threads. People have to think for a while before they post in such a thread, that's why those posts are really worth reading. So called 'brainless threads' where people just have to write one word to get on with the 'fun' are actually just spam. Nothing more. Actions should be taken to better control this kind of pollution of the Tavern. A separate rating called 'spam' perhaps, it would give the thread 30 minutes of floodprotect after anyone has posted.
A second problem in the Tavern is probably even more alarming and I have the impression that it is closely related to the spamming I just talked about. Some members, including several quality posters and often respected members object against the constant spamming. They take the right into their own hands and start tossing/flaming the spammers, often breaking the Code of Conduct or almost. I used to see them as 'the bad guys', now I'm not so sure about many of them anymore. Are they really so bad, or do they just voice their opinion to complain or fight the situation in the Tavern? I think the latter is much closer to the truth. The Tavern moderators obviously enjoy the activity in there (and they should!) and reward people for creative and original ideas by giving positive remarks or quality points. That is good. Now my question is: Should non-heroes related topics that are not about important real life issues be rewarded? To me that is extremely doubtful. Others seem to think alike but unfortunately their protest is misunderstood by the moderators. These 'tossers' or 'flamers' as they say, do not try to break down the general respect for moderators, they do not wish to personally insult members and/or moderators, and should not be given penalties (read: more floodprotect) as long as they don't break the Code of Conduct. They only want to point out at the moderators that something is going wrong in the Tavern, each one of them in their own way. Giving away penalties and locking threads with disagreements is not a good way to solve this problem. It only strengthens the belief that something is wrong and can only serve as a short term solution. Other options must be found (or developed) to deal with this issue in a healthy way.
Just to make sure nobody misinterprets this post:I have no desire to criticize moderators, to start another debate on quality points or whatever. Everyone posting in the Tavern is to blame for this situation, both spammers, tossers and mods. Something MUST be done about the tavern, urgently. The rating 'spam' is just a suggestion, other people may have other ideas. Perhaps ThE_HyDrA is correct in his opinion to close the Tavern, temporarily or not. It would certainly be interesting to see what would happen if it did close down for some time. Greetings and respect, Ivo.

If you look, most of the threads in the library have been about Heroes 4. Why do we need Heroes 4 threads in the Library when we have Lands of Axeoth. This is what does make sense to me. If we have a Heroes 4 forum then why do we need another forum that has mostly Heroes 4 threads with a few Heroes 3 threads.
My reference to poor quality was the quality of Heroes 3 related threads. Your so called "Activity" was primarily Heroes 4 related. Shouldn't these threads be in Lands of Axeoth?
"If more members such as yourself, Redsoxfan3 started posting in the library, there could be more of these threads, and the board could be more known for talking about Heroes than talking about other non-heroes related thread."
I used to be an active poster in the library until the Heroes 3 related threads became non-existant. I haven't bothered to buy Heroes 4, because of all the bad criticism the game has received, so I haven't been able to post about Heroes 4 topics. I'd love to talk about Heroes 3, but no one seems to be interested in talking about that game anymore.

I only read parts of your very long post. If you don't like the Tavern, then don't go there. Personally, I like your input. People need a place to yak about b.s. That's why phone companies and soap operas are so successful. Lighten up, dude. You got good, and funny, input.
BRF:
I had something to say to you, but I've forgotten what it was. But I like your posts too. Oh yeah - I like 3, I don't have 4 yet. I'll talk 3 with ya. Even play a tourney with ya. I made a post about it in the ToH forum.
I'll post more, and more coherently, later. Like, tomorrow (or later today) maybe.

You'd be surprised how many people are still interested in heroes 3. I read and post in many, if not all heroes 3 topics that pop up. Heroes 3 is not dead, don't be afraid to start H3 threads, RSF. They will be replied to, only not as much as H4 threads, which is normal since H4 is 'da new thing'. I think that the need to talk about heroes 2, 3, ... justifies the existance of the board you question. It's normal there are less of H3 topics, but that doesn't mean the Library has to go. If Heroes V comes out, the lands will fill up with H5 threads and the H4 threads will come here, also in smaller numbers by then. You see, there will always be need for the Library, therefor it shouldn't be removed.
EDIT: @HeyYou: Posted at the same time, didn't see your post.
First of all thanks for your compliment (always nice to hear) And yes, since I've come to dislike the Tavern I do not go there anymore, apart from nosing into the Attack Iraq and other RL threads
I agree that people need a place to talk about bs, and have a blast laughing with jokes and stuff. Personally I like to do those things better with my friends IRL, besides there are looooots of places on the net where you can chat around about literally everything.
Just not here... This is a heroes forum, not a kindergarten. Sure people can have a laugh and a good toss, but why not keep things heroes related on a heroes forum?

Hmm I tried to explain this earlier by saying that the Tavern has earned its right of exsitence.
I was being serious there.
The tavern was first created to talk on "off HOMM topics".
So at first there where only Homm players that also posted there some offtopic stuff.
But gradually the Tavern has attracted more and more people.. some that don't even play Homm. DO they have any les right to be on HC then Homm players?
I mean our own admin hasn't most likely touched any Homm game in years (correct me if I'm wrong Val..LOL like he is ever gonna read this).
If people don't like the Tavern just don't post/read stuff there. I know there are more members that only read a certain part of HC.
there was a time that no ToH'er would be wanted to caught dead in the tavern. But at the present time more and more ToH'ers have also found the way to the Tavern (not going into any of the reasons for that here).
People like The Hydra who is a looong time poster here has never concerned himself with the tavern nor with ToH.
So that is his "right". HC is just a froum people ... take the good parts and ignore the rest.
For other people the good and bad parts may be reversed.
But I do agree that the mods need to control the spam some more. But there is a thin line between what is and what ain't spam.
Oke enough for now ..

Hmm, I know the tavern has its function. Perhaps it only needs to be split up. The RL topics could go into a separate board, that way people shouldn't start digging for them below tons of spam. That board could be called Window to the world for example (not referring to the evil OS), the Tavern could remain the tavern (or the 'spam corner' perhaps  )
This is actually one of ThE_HyDrA's ideas but I really like the thought of it too.

Well, my suggestion would be: if there's the slightest suspicion a thread is a spam thread... kill it that way there never will be any discussions about it.

Do u have any idea on how many people will start screaming "mod abuse" and stuff like that?@
Funny eh. Personally I'm against the fact members abuse mods, 't is simply not done. No really, why doesn't Val assign a spam killer mod (not kidding) to get rid of all spam while the other tavern mods do the other work. I would even volunteer to do it myself and take the whole crapload of complaints by members who feel offended.

Ouch, that's bad. Now my history of spamming will haunt me forever. You throw my soul into the pit of doom here Hexa. ...Or, I could always delete them myself
EDIT: What do you think about the floodprotect for spam rated threads? I think it could also do a great job.
