(Ssilk, I post this after seeing you post here about reducing the number of forums, but you should really consider this)
Many forums that represent large games have a "fan work" section on the forum. Factorio has a place to post factories and other in-game creations, but where should a I post my creation of some awesome fanart? In the same place? And have it drown in the other posts about in-game creations? KSP is a great example of this- they have a section for fanworks, and another to show off the crafts that you've made.
I thought I would throw that out there as you can expect this forum, especially the place where you post factories, to explode in posts once the game arrives on steam and it would be best to have a special place for the people that do something outside the game

TuckJohn, I'm not sure, what is for you the difference between a Fan-Art-Board and the "Show your Creations"-Board. Can you explain this a bit?
Especially where would you draw the line between these two? Do you have a simple rule, how a webmaster can decide which is the right board for a post?
EDIT:
In other word: This is currently the text for the show your creations:

How would you change the subtitles of this (or is there no change needed?) and what would it be for the new board?Show your Creations
Post pictures and videos of your factories.

Re: "Fan works" forum
I would understand it this way :
- If you show screenshots or videos of the actual game : show your creations
- If you create art by yourself (draw, paint, craft, cosplay, ...) it would be fan art
- If you show screenshots or videos of the actual game : show your creations
- If you create art by yourself (draw, paint, craft, cosplay, ...) it would be fan art

Yes. That is the distinction I was thinking about.
