Mostly posturing and whining, but for some reason most of the game ends up getting played here.
Various other forums are available to different admin roles.
General Chitchat (shared): The General Chitchat forum is for anything that doesn't relate to anything, or belong anywhere else (i.e. Off-Topic). Sometimes political debates go on, sometimes sports debates. Often people post issues with anything they have on their mind and get feedback. On occasion, a non-Roleplaying piece of writing has been posted with requests for feedback. General Chitchat threads are the most likely to be moved to Flamewars, as they quickly get off track.
The Bad-zone, formerly Flamewards (shared): This is the forum where all sorts of profanity and vile or crude language and occasionally, image posting, goes. Anything posted on other forums that is judged Flamewars Material instantly makes that thread a candidate for removal to the Flamewars forum, unless it is edited.
Roleplaying - The Roleplaying Forum is for serious players who are willing to write in-character about essentially anything. Traditionally, this is the least moderated forum, in part because such little posting goes on in this forum, and also in part because moderators don't like to discourage positive comments about other players' writing. This forum is not shared, and is instance-specific.
Question and Answers - A place for new arrivals to get advise.
Faction Forum - Each faction has their own forum that only members in that faction can read. These are generally not considered to be secure however, because of the ease of infiltrating a faction.
Empire Forum - A private Empire forum for the members of your empire ONLY. As secure as your empire is.
United Empires - Faction Presidents, VPs, and Advisors as well as empire leaders can conduct diplomacy here.
House of Commerce - Use for selling, buying, or funding research projects, ships, blueprints, or anything else that has to do with money or trading.
