If the Era iPhone community was actually part of the forum community, I'm sure there would be plenty of threads regarding actual fun to be had on the server, and I can appreciate that you're trying to Era iPhone relevant to the forums (and vice versa). But that isn't working, is it? Instead of numerous threads about player testimonials, it's just two people, you and Andrew, posting crap and saying "LOOK AT US!!". If the iPhone community wants to post on the forums about all their fun exploits, they will. They don't need you two pointing out trivial things (a wedding? seriously? If this is your idea of fun and excitement Era iPhone has to offer, I'm astounded it has so many players).
A new thread for every tiny development update on the other hand is still dumb. There's no justifying that. Even for people on the forums who are actually interested in Era iPhone updates. Having all of the development kept in one thread makes Era iPhone's changes easier to find and review, and makes navigating how the server has evolved over its lifetime much easier. Plus, it's more professional. It keeps all the productivity of the staff in one place, it makes it look like you guys know how to keep things neat and organized.
And both types of thread would be better suited to iPhone subforums, which we need, because neither iPhone server is a playerworld and thus does not belong in the playerworld subforums. And even if you could categorize them as playerworlds, they're managed by different people than the already established playerworlds, so it doesn't make sense that they would both be forced share the same space for updates and news.

I think making a new subject/category is the best way to go for iphone stuff. Granted, not much is really posted there, but how long has it been there either? And as iphone servers go, they are servers, and that's all playerworlds are as well, they are the same exact thing (not exact but you should get my drift), just one type on pc and one on iphone. It is not professional or easy to go through even 8 pages of crap to see whats up, when some of it may not even be related, in one single thread for players that make up about 6 times the amount of players on pc.
It'd be way more professional looking to organize a subject/category for each iphone/facebook/andriod playerworld/server than throw all of each on in a giant thread for the rest of its years. It'd also be way more user friendly than just 1 thread.
Of coarse, we've been asking for new stuff for a long time on the forums, and there is at least 1 classic server that doesnt even have a subject/category thats classic, and what, 1 dead server and 2 servers that are UC now? UC servers should be taken out, and bla bla bla. What really needs to be done is they need a website/forums admin to take care of these things and keep it up to date. Hell, I'd do it for free.
