Then only downside is that this is a computer forum and what if console forum is way busier than PC forum? It could start a civil war. (by civil I mean polite of course, lol)

I say just merge it all into one generic gaming forum. The technical and new release forums are rarely used compared to the general game forum.
And no to splitting up the forums. So many games are cross platform now it seems like a moot point.
I agree 100%.Quote:

In fact if ALL help was posted in just one single forum (as it often is anyway, same with upcoming games like Bioshock) it might generate more views and discussion.
The one thing I hate is when a forum has too many sub forums. The Mazda site I belong to did that and I stopped posting because it was not worth my time to look at similar posts spread about. I can see the same topic being posted twice because the PC people and console folks are talking about the same thing.
For example, the Xbox 360 PC controller adapter is coming out. Is that a console or PC topic or being posted twice?
a hardware issue, it should be in general hardware also:)Quote:

i'm mostly indifferent about a console forum. the only reason i'm very very slightly against it is it would take more clicks to read everything from both forums :p
anyways, i think it would be a great idea to move gaming help to this forum as someone said earlier(scuttle maybe? i'm too lazy to backtrack :p ) most gaming help and upcomming games are posted here anyways and the other forums are practically dead. it's not like it will overload the board with traffic.
LOL! i was kind of shocked to see scuttle posting. i guess that's why :pQuote:

my reasoning for this is that the gaming forum usually runs at a good pace. The gaming help and upcoming games forums are slow enough to just consolidate. The only times when the forum gets really muddied up is when a big title is about to come out (remember the 10-20 posts a day we had for Oblivion?) or a new console launch... if all the "hot" threads were in one dedicated forum then normal everyday topics wouldnt be pushed to second page on the main gaming forum.
so basically when a mod notices that many/most threads pertain to a currently popular topic, he can move those threads to the Hot Topic forum and then rename the Hot Topic forum to reflect that
1 Console Gaming Forum and 1 PC Gaming Forum
Just my oppinion
