Yeah, I never thought of any of my stuff as being a "fan edit". Not that I have anything against fan edits, but when I first saw the new list of categories, I didn't know where to find preservations. Actually, I thought that the primary mission of OT.com was preservation, not fan edits.

I changed the forum titles slightly to make preservations easier to find seeing as they're fairly prominent and important.

While preservation of the OT was certainly our first mission, the proliferation and popularity of fan edits have kept this place alive and kept that early mission visible. And, as you mention, many projects don't fit under the category of "fan edits," so it was time to split the forums and let each category go in its own direction.
