Edit : Whelp I should have known the circlejerk of the boards was going to start as soon as you could "downvote" without even commenting or going into the thread.

Putting aside the fact that the board directory on the left isn't alphabetical, can someone PLEASE explain why the hell some of the, very arguably, more important board links are at the very bottom (Looking at you "Help & Support") and yet (pull out your tinfoil hats!) E$ports is second from the top?

I've tried to be naive in thinking that Esports wasn't Riot's top priority but with it being second from the top, my tin foil hat shines a little brighter...

With the exception of GD, Help & Support, and the red tracker, the boards are literally in the order they were added / changed the name of.

tl;dr it's not a conspiracy.

Hey Poro Support, making them alphabetical and / or in matter of importance is a bit trickier than it appears. It's on our list of things to update but is arguably low on that list due to the stack of other things we are looking to tackle.

Basically they are in the order of when they were created as Hyrum mentioned.

To the bug you're seeing we are aware of that specific issue and are actively addressing it — apologies for the inconvenience. If you see it refresh for the time being.

The conspiracy was originally meant as a joke - since that seems to be the common and popular theory - that Riot pumps everything into E-sports. Apparently I didn't word it appropriately enough :P

I guess even so though, that makes it another question of why E-Sports first over things like announcements, et cetera. I understand wanting to appeal to the masses so to speak and to get people's eye on the board but when people complain about Riot focusing on esports and not anything else, and you open the board's first link as Esports, it doesn't send the message the people want to see.

Also - since when is alphabetical listing not a built-in feature? If it isn't, then how can you (Riot Games, inc) claim this is an upgrade from VBulletin when it's missing basic features.
