Here is the latest version of brief Board Descriptions. Please note that each description is fewer than 255 characters for their use in SMF functions and the roleplaying forum descriptions were drafted to be as similar as possible to each other for consistency.
Specific suggestions for the content of each board description are welcome, as is comment on whether there should also be a longer description of each board on a separate webpage in the Home section (not the forums). If you want to debate the definition or distribution of the content for each board (like a hermaphrodite being placed in 'Exotic' rather than 'Human'), please raise that discussion on
this thread. Thanks!
[updated to adjust board titles and content to new terminology]
