Ive never made a fourm recommendation so if I make a mistake please point it out.
This is a problem ive been seeing alot lately. People asking "where is the demons list?" Most people know by now its been moved to its own site. Yes that means that its not really anyone here on the fourms problem any more. Yet ive seen 3 posts since it was moved of people asking where it went. Im sure that number will increase as time goes on. So my idea is something quite simple. At least I hope it is, I dont know how ProBoards works. Add a new tab that says Extreme Demons List, or Demons List for short. All it dose is open a new tab to the website of the demons list. This will make it very clear where it is and prevent those silly questions that are being asked now.
Another idea is to add a master pin to a post that says what happened breifly and has a link to the demons list. What I mean by master pin is a pin that shows up on every single board. These already exist ive noted so adding one more shouldet be that harmful. Maybe its not necessary to add it to nonsense lounge but yet again, im not sure how the fourms operates under the hood. I just know the bare basics. I just looked and this already exists. Clearly if I missed it and a few others, its not obvious enough. So maybe the only real option here is to add a new tab. Adding a new tab at least to my eye wouldent be that bad, its not in your face or too distracting but its still clear and obvious. Possibly make it so when you tap it it asks you if you want to open the demons list instead of just going stright there so if someone misclicks they dont get angry. Ive done that all the time... tapped on the semi useless help tab. (Doing that request thing for the help tab would be nice, just let users know that the help tab leads to not help for this fourms but for ProBoards. Whenever ive had a problem and tried that its never helped me, the users here help.)
Just a final note to the mods. I read the rules and the not allowed to be posted pinned threads and they have nothing on this yet. I also briefly looked through the rejected and pending sub catagories and found nothing on this so I assume then that im the first to request this. If not feel free to remove this thread or lock it.

Good idea, though making it another tab would be kinda weird and those arent easy to find on mobile. I would instead just make a stickied thread in Lists which has a link to the demon list. That way, anyone searching the list will clearly see the pinnec thread and know what happened

That way, anyone searching the list will clearly see the pinnec thread and know what happened It already is a sticked thread in the lists. The problem is the name of that thread dose not pop out or is noticeable unlike the name of the demons list when it was here. Im also not sure about the mobile part. Im on my iPad and I see all the tabs very clearly with no problem. If they added one more beside help, or maybe inbetween help and messages, im sure it wouldent cause much problem. I also checked my phone and just like my iPad I see all tabs clearly there. Obviously with more screen scrolling but thats normal when it comes to unoptimized websites.

Im talking about the mobile version of the page... Anyways, maybe make a redirecting sub-board of lists (a redirecting board is a board that redirects you to another page when clicked)

Like I said I have no idea how this forums works under the hood. I just know the surface. You clearly know more than I do, thats very good. Hopefully the admins or owner sees this eventually and can maybe add something like it.

Like I said I have no idea how this forums works under the hood. I just know the surface. You clearly know more than I do, thats very good. Hopefully the admins or owner sees this eventually and can maybe add something like it. on the mobile forum, there are only home, profile, messages buttons in the top row. For the rest theres a drop-down menu that says "Navigation". Im pretty sure nobody would look for the demon list there... A "redirecting board" is just a normal board like Forum News, Game Support etc. The difference is that it has a red arrow on the folder symbol. If you click it, it works just like a link to any page the staff wants. Making something like this a sub-board of lists would be very good, 1. because its on the very top, even above announced threads and 2. because of the red arrow people would notice it faster. Hope you understood everything

If their trying to look for the Demon List, then they should clearly see the announcement thread saying that the "Demon List has been Moved". If they still ask, then its just their fault for not noticing it now.
Don't worry, over time, people will eventually adjust and know that the Demon List has been moved.

Don't worry, over time, people will eventually adjust and know that the Demon List has been moved. This is the problem. That "Demons List has been moved" thread is very easily missed. I personally missed it too after it was moved to its current location. It needs to be made more clear that its there. Possibly add some colour, tags, emojies, memes, [Demons List], ETC. Otherwise we will keep getting these seemingly stupid questions. I still believe the best idea is for the forums to add a new tab that directs you to the list, that would be very easy and has few downsides.

How about we make a thread in Lists as the demon list link as the title?

Most if not all know by now that the list has moved, so I'll be moving this thread to rejected.
