Gaming Subforum Request

I formally request a SOASE subforum in the Gaming section, for all of our SOASE needs. And, if applicable, a COH subforum could also be used.

Wrong section. This needs to go into the Forum Suggestions section. I'll move it there for you. Just this once.

I think we could do this petition style.

If ten or more people express their intent to play a title with others of the community, a subforum will be added for it.

It was 5 seconds after your reply. Now VOTE, and suggest other subforums if you must!

I remain convinced that adding subforums for every game is the height of folly. There are precisely five posts related to SoaSE on this forum. Not threads, posts. As far as I know this is the first time CoH has even been mentioned. There is absolutely no need for entire subforums devoted to them.

Oh really? It may be on THIS forum that it's not mentioned, but on the previous forum it has.

Remember the SOASE thread? It was 20 pages long. COH was on the previous forum too, if not on the scale of SOASE. I firmly believe that they should be added, SOASE if not COH.


And on your note, why do we have a TF2 subforum? Nobody uses it. It's pointless.

Because that was the runner up in the original poll.

No one followed through with it, though. Might as well be deleted.

I don't know, Fenway. That's my point. I think that entire subforum is ridiculous. A Minecraft subforum makes sense - this is a Minecraft mod, and a Minecraft community. But all the others are completely bloody useless. I've been saying that since they were implemented. See my 'Somewhat Ridiculous Overcategorization' thread in Forum Suggestions.

They are useless for one reason - you refuse to use them.It works similarly to the gaming evening thread ... It just feels the forum members are not mature enough to use all those tools to their full potential. For now they indeed feel useless .

No... the problem is that no-one actually cares about that stuff. It's not what we're here for.
