Introducing: Boards Recap Beta

The first iteration of a way to aggregate community content came in form of the Weekly Community Roundup, which was an effort to compile the most popular and engaging threads from the previous seven days into a single thread. This project pulled heavily from many aspects of the retired Riot publishing series, Meanwhile in Top Lane. Throughout the month of June, we published a Roundup each week, but it soon became apparent that the time commitment to organize and package each publication was considerable and the utilization of the series varied widely. We needed a better and more efficient way of getting this content out to players.

Boards Recap is the next iteration of a content aggregate that serves to mitigate inconsistencies and shortcomings with certain Boards features, such as a Red Tracker saturated with Help & Support posts, short-lasting front page visibility for many popular threads, and a harsh make-or-break user voting system. While these shortcomings in and of themselves may persist on the Boards for some time, we hope that this project will encourage higher quality posting and help players catch up on posts they may have missed while away from the Boards.

Because Boards Recap is in beta, there's still a lot we can and will work to improve upon. We'll continue to optimize all aspects of the project including the technical framework, graphics and layout, and content selection. We also want to hear what you have to say. Boards Recap Beta went live moments ago, so check it out here and let us know what you think!
