Discovery Gaming Community

It is almost all clear, except for the gaming part, so I'll be glad to hear your opinion on this.

Now we have 3 gaming categories. In the beginning there were only two, but structure with subforums is not quite user-friendly so all subforums were removed. Now there is a general gaming category (Discovery Gaming), TES category (The Elder Scrolls) and Games in Detail.

There are two variants on how to proceed with other games for which we'll need separate forums. First - to make separate categories for them like TES. And second - which seems more logical - to create new forums in Games in Detail section (where Freelancer now is), adding subforums if really neeeded.

I think the best option would be to create new forums in the Games in Detail section as you said. Going to look 'cleaner'. If games are really large you could put it up with TES, like another series or something with a large modding community.

Xit suggesten Unreal Tournament and you said it's not an rpg. Is this to say Discovery is only for rpgs? Just curious :)

Not only for RPGs, but primarily - yes, all-genre forums may be too wide. I was not planning to create specific forums for non-RPG games. Any other suggestions on this point?

One more change: MMORPG forum is RPG now, renamed. I guess it's wrong to separate singleplayer and multiplayer games of this genre to different forums. They'd better stay together.

I think as long as any one game doesn't generate too much traffic in General Gaming it shouldn't be necessary to make a seperate forum for it. However if some huge game that is not an rpg starts to flood General Gaming with topics, you could maybe make an exception. Just a suggestion. :)

One suggestion would be having one subforum for RPG, and one for all others. But since we already have that it doesn't matter...

Apart from that if people talk about a game really, really much I would say make a forum for it. But that might take its time before that happens. :rolleyes:
