Pardon my second really long post in a row.
If you look at Lamb's thread http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index.php?/topic/2358-forum-reorganization/
He has some good ideas about reorganizing the Hall of Nations area. We discussed it for a couple of hours and came up with this outline for adding new sections and cleaning up the rights in the section. I understand it is a lot of work but hopefully this can be done.
