EPTShared Community Forums
When seeing the reception to our news of moving Dota to a standalone site it was pretty obvious that we had to try and make this happen.
The forums:
- Other Games
- General
- Media & Entertainment
- Sports
Reasons for keeping it to these four:
- The concerns expressed by our users in response to our move primarily addressed these forums.
- LoL, Smash, Mafia are part of the community but they are not community forums in the same sense the above mentioned four are, as they are more like sub-communities with their own userbase. We are still thinking about other ways to incorporate them but they are not part of the current changes.
- Adding everything would be an overwhelming amount of content.
One of the issues to tackle was what to do with the icons. We decided to have an icon show for the website you were posting from. So if you're posting from TL a visitor on LH/LD needs to be able to see that you're not from there. We created some icons to show where people are posting from.

Since only forums can be shared and not individual threads we've put this thread into the shared general forum to show how it works.
