the point of reorganizing the forums is to attract more poeple, wouldn't you guys rather have 2,000 regular posters to add feedback to your posts or the same 20-25 regulars?
the way the forums are stacked now is more to give you easier mind on where to find what you are looking for when you are looking for it. would you rather swim through 300 posts to find 1 thread on EQ2 or go to a place where you will only have to swim through 5-10
change always sucks when you are used to a certain way believe me i know. as for the GH forum, it will be there for chats on what types of game you like, why you like them, general Gamershell chat about reviews, stuff like that. maybe a place to talk about the coolest demo out. or a place to post screenies of your video game moments.
the other more specfic forums are for talks about the actual games in that genre not about why you like that genre, if you know what i mean.
like Nxs said this may not be the way the forums will stay but we will leave them this way for a while to get the basic drift on how it's appeal is working out with newer members.
we are opening a feedback forum for all of you to give your ideas on what you think about the certain new aspects of the forums.
thanks,

Well let me just say: Yes some more orginization would be good. But the way it was done was horrible. Making a forum for each genre was a wasteful, confusing, and poor move. We don't want to have tons of these small forums. Seperating them into PCs and Consoles (maybe moving handhelds into consoles and moving hardware into PC) woiuld suffice and IMHO be much better. Anyone else think this would be a good prop

That would be my prosition. Each of those forums would be used decently. and still be focused and orginized. and still look clean, right now it looks unproffessional and dirty. I liked it before because it looked professional and clean, not a giant mess like now.
This re-orginization might lose posters, disperse posters, and I don't think it will make there be 2,000 regulars.
There is a search button.
This whole idea of each major (game of the month, game of the month's hype, etc) getting its own forum is pretty bad. More clutter, more uselessness. Its not needed. Games pass their hype.
I don't know if it was a smart move allowing you to reorginize these forums completely.
I don't mind change. But now. Its hard to find general posts. Its hard to browse because i need to scroll about 3 pages.(page down 3 times to go from top to bottom) and it just looks clutter, and unproffesional
A forum for Cool Game Tricks might be something you would add.
really. I would start a poll on this. because I really don't think this was the right way to go.
Ill stick with my prop for now.
