[News] Changing the gaming forums

I mentioned this once in my journal before but I'd like to bring it up here to get a wider opinion on what everyone thinks. What I would like to do is condense the amount of gaming forums we have to just 2 or three. Then we can allow people to set prefixes when they create a thread (like xbox360/Wii/DS/RPG/whatever). There are a few reasons I want to do this:

1. Its annoying having to visit each individual forum to see all the topics, especially when they each only have like 2-5 active topics. Having them all in one forum makes it easier and look more active.

2. With the prefixes its still just as easy to scroll past threads you wouldn't want to read in the first place.

One thing everyone likes about the current setup is that the fanboys can stick to their forum. Having it all mixed might cause huge fanboy wars and crap like that. That's why I plan on making a new sticky thread with much stricter rules. And if people insist on running around posting "xbox360 is better than wii and ps3" we'll remove their access to the gaming section completely for a set amount of time or permanently.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If we go through with this, I was thinking we could have 2 subforums inside the gaming forum. One for planning online game meets with GFF members and the other for all the RPG (Final Fantasy SIGH) threads.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I think we'll end up doing something like this.

Video Gaming with following tags:
360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PC, DS, PSP, Arcade, Multiplatform, classic, general gaming

I included PS2 since it still has a decent flow of games coming out on it. The original xbox and the gamecube are pretty much dead now and could be considered classic. We'll have a Online gaming subforum for planning meets, sharing friends codes, xbox live stuff, MMORPG meets, etc. We'll also give the RPG section its own subforum due to popular demand.

What do you guys think?

(we could include xbox, gba, and gamecube tags too if you want)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

New rule thread done.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The current ones are only placeholders until the final ones are complete. (in a week or two) Its either those or just plain text.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Mission complete! You may now return home, blah.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
