Please vote only if you are going to voice your opinion on the matter, as in, post.Video Game Chat / Discussion Sub-Board Proposal I wish to present my idea of creating a Video Game Chat Sub-Board, or something of the like. It would serve the purpose of reducing some threads in General Chat, in addition to opening up more threads for discussions in. I realize General Chat fills this spot rather well, but seeing as the general increase of video games, and their influence on the forum's Challenge Takers, not to mention the games they take, it may open up new ideas for others. Of course the rules would still apply, meaning no flaming. If you argue, one would be expected to do so tactfully and peacefully, or receive a sort of punishment (a simple 5% warn, perhaps?). One would also hope that the threads are kept intelligent and rather informative, and of course, not adult-related. This is my proposal, and I await the staff - and the populace of the forum - to decide on the fate of this idea. Note: I made this public so as to receive public feedback, as well as not having to bother the staff via Private Messages (which need to be sent back and forth). Also, I shall not vote, since it would be a rather biased thing to do.

No, the General Board still fills that position quite nicely. Besides, it would raise question on where certain threads would fit. Please vote only if you are going to voice your opinion on the matter, as in, post. (Two people have already ignored this...and I know exactly who they are, too *HINTHINT*...) |

I see what you mean, and I cannot provide a remedy to that problem at this time. Please vote only if you are going to voice your opinion on the matter, as in, post. (Two people have already ignored this...and I know exactly who they are, too *HINTHINT*...) ...that is a rather large disappointment. Are they just cowards, afraid of being revoked, or perhaps wary that this is doomed to fail but will support me for a self-esteem booster? I implore those who have voted but not said a thing: Please do voice your opinion. |

Hmmm... I'd have to agree to this.
Reason: Proboards won't show any other thread in the General Board past page 1. >_>

I don't like the idea.
We have General Talk for this, and if this new board is created, it will drain over half the topics in Gen.
And I'm in an anti-everything mood right now.

I'd have to agree to this. It's not like we really need every thread devoted to discussing FF or any other game clogging up the General Board eventually.

No. Why?
Syaro holds this subboard rather clean (so older threads got sorted out, anywho), and the fact currently there are only about 5 threads (including Video Game Possession and First Experience threads, didn't count exactly, though) I don't think a Video Game section would be necessary. Questions or Guides to games get posted in the Help Board. Discussions about game (series) are not all that common, so I think parting video games and general stuff is not necessary (yet).
If the Video Game-discussions take overhand, I'd maybe agree to it, but as it is, I see no need.

I am indifferent due to the fact that my stupidity does not let me understand.

Don't need it. I haven't seen that many different video game discussions and truth told, yet another sub board might get too confusing for newer members.

I like the idea for this sub-board. It would be sweet!

While we're on the topic of Sub-boards, what about my request a few months back for a sub-board of CT Databases to avoid necropostage by new members, if any?

Since most of the moderators (being two out of four) seem to think the proposal is rather worthless all things considered, I shall retract this and request this thread locked. If the other two staff members would like to post, they can do so in a locked thread while normal members and myself are prevented from doing so.
Regardless, I thank you all for your feedback.
