Killian Jones 2,655 January 16, 2012 Share January 16, 2012 I have been noticing a large amount of gaming related topics in the Everfree Forest subforum, sometimes they can drown out the other topics. Maybe we should make a specific forum where ponies can talk about all these games. I don't think it's a stupid suggestion. What does everyone else (by which I mean Feld0) feel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,894 January 16, 2012 Share January 16, 2012 Doesn't sound like a bad idea, we do have a lot of gaming topics but I don't think it's especially needed.

Killian Jones 2,655 January 16, 2012 Author Share January 16, 2012 I personally think it has reached a point where there isn't a crying demand, but there are an exceptionally high amount of gaming related topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom The Diamond 1,831 January 16, 2012 Share January 16, 2012 I'd love that! We do have a lot of gamer boards in the Everfree Forest. What would we name it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomiix 435 January 16, 2012 Share January 16, 2012 In one forum I am apart of, they too have a gaming section. Yet right now they have a problem with having too many sub-forums. They have more than 20 sub forums 5 or less for each main forum. In the end, you do want some sub-forums, yet keep to making it open ended. Like instead of having a gaming section, you can have a "unrelated media" sun forum, where topics such as games, videos, and other things would go. Hows it goin' my little ponies?

Killian Jones 2,655 January 16, 2012 Author Share January 16, 2012 Perhaps something Like Iron Pony Gamer forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokuc 8,174 January 17, 2012 Share January 17, 2012 It would be nice to have a subforum for us gaming nerds. Eyup. It sounds like a great idea to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Jones 2,655 January 17, 2012 Author Share January 17, 2012 It doesn't need to be on the main page could be under Everfree Forest. Isn't that a good place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance64 7,054 January 17, 2012 Share January 17, 2012 A gaming subforum would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop 8,384 January 17, 2012 Share January 17, 2012 Rather than a sub board, perhaps an expanded selection of thread categories would be ideal; if you look at the boards that currently have thread categories such as the Cloudsdale Arena, clicking a category name on the index will bring up a list of threads marked as being part of that category. This gives you the functionality of a sub board without the extra board clutter imo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,919 January 17, 2012 Share January 17, 2012 I don't care one way or the other since I don't enter gaming threads a lot, but I think Zoop's suggestion has the most merit.

Tom 891 January 17, 2012 Share January 17, 2012 (edited) Rather than a sub board, perhaps an expanded selection of thread categories would be ideal; if you look at the boards that currently have thread categories such as the Cloudsdale Arena, clicking a category name on the index will bring up a list of threads marked as being part of that category. This gives you the functionality of a sub board without the extra board clutter imo. I'd think that making a sub board would create less clutter.As in the suggested example all the gaming threads would be in a separate board, only appearing on the Everfree board as a single entry. Also by using categories, there would be no way to show all non gaming threads, unless they were put into a non-gaming category.

Ezynell 2,037 January 18, 2012 Share January 18, 2012 We need either more or less subforums. We have just enought to make it awkward to go into them. GAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop 8,384 January 18, 2012 Share January 18, 2012 Also by using categories, there would be no way to show all non gaming threads, unless they were put into a non-gaming category. (As far as I know anyway) Of thirty threads on the first page of the index currently only one in six are in any way gaming related, so I don't really think that's a big problem to be honest.

Tom 891 January 18, 2012 Share January 18, 2012 Then using categories seems like the best idea. I'd like to thank the MLP Vector Club for the images used in my avatar.
