Is there any real reason why general chat, media, and gaming are all seperate subforums? The actual megazeux related subforums are just fine, they all handle different aspects of megazeux and there's a logical stratification there. I don't see a logical reason why there are so many subforums in the community forum. Is there really so much conversation in each individual subforum that it would warrant that each topic have its own?

Been in consideration for awhile now, I think we were just waiting until the version upgrade to do it. So yeah, do it. There are a few other parings that we want to make as well, I need to check the list again.

It is useless to run, since the truth is right next to you.

Well, considering how rarely used most of them are, we could probably leave it at the original Junkyard pins, What are you playing, What are you listening to, and just unpin/archive the rest. Because is anybody really even using the Review-A-Game threads anymore?

It probably had more chatter at one point. Personally I could see merging media and gaming together. But merging all three seems a bit much.

Apol's plan is to minimize the rest of the forums in the hopes that people do more with megazeux. This is a good plan.

ha ha, well, not really. i just think the forum looks cleaner without all those subforums breaking down general discussion to very specific topics. though, really, the community's focus is - and should continue to be - megazeux.
