You're right. Sims is better than Dynasties. I was just repeating old names.
Why do you think there should be a Fictional Sims forum and a separate Historical Sims forum though? I doubt it much matters to most authors/readers. Or does it? Would someone be solely interested in reading one but not the other and bothered that they had to go through both to find what they wanted? In my mind, all our leagues are fictional to some degree and any can be interesting depending on what the author puts into them.

I agree. And I think it would help others to get into them more if they could more easily find the answers to their questions. Historicals, especially, I'm sure can be pretty intimidating.
I do wonder how much use a separate Fictional Discussions forum would get though. And I wonder that as a fictional-first player myself. I may be influenced by
this old fictional forum however. I know, it's an old online league board and non-moderators probably can't see all the spam threads in it, but I swear the entire front page of it for me, except one lone thread, is all spam. Why it became a magnet for spam, I don't know, but I always found it a questionable choice to separate them while keeping its main board too.
