Any chance we could just merge this back into the main Video Game General Discussion forum? At this point a lot of games that appear on consoles are appearing on PC's as well. There are many being discussed there that aren't console exclusive, and it just seems like a pointless separation now.
I'd rather not have the MMO forums merged, tbh. I have zero interest in any of them, and like that when I go into video games I can see if there are new posts in the consoles forum (the games I care about). Actually, I'd really rather they stayed separate period. I'd rather there were two separate threads for games that are in consoles/pc so that I don't have to sift through other posts for stuff I'm interested in.

That's the thing though, when I'm playing a game, if I come here (or anywhere else) I'm looking for info on the specific version I'm playing, as well as people that are also playing it on that platform. Everything is different for console/PC games. Online infrastructure/features/graphics/everything.
I think there is enough traffic in the video games forums that keeping them separate for the sake of keeping things cleaner.

Done.
As far as the other requests go, every time I've ever made a change with anything on this board, there's been a 50/50 (+/- 5%) split on people loving or hating it. If you guys can convince Funk, and it's easy to do, I have no problem merging them back together.

Other than when I search for something I view everything from the View New Posts menu option anyway so what actual forum something in isn't something I pay attention to. However with the amount of posters that are still active I don't see a problem with having all games, console or PC (especially since some games may cross both platforms), talked about in one spot. I also don't think Funk should be the sole determiner of such a thing but as I said.. it's not a huge deal to me since I am forum blind.
I'd say keep the MMO forums seperate from the traditional gaming threads but merge console and general gaming into one forum.
A lot of us end up playing the same games in either the PC or the console and having that platform distinction is a bit of a waste (Portal 2 comes to mind.)
We should divide the NWS forum into no less than 673 sub-forums. Have a tits forum, but subdivide that into areola, cleavage, underboob, natural, and silicone. There should probably be about 28 sub-forums for the female genitalia.
But none for the goddamn furries. Fuck those guys.

Why exactly is it that people want to move Consoles into the Video Game General area? I like not having to click through all of the Console threads when checking this forum.
I actually like winnow's formatting of title's the best.
But some consolidation isn't terrible either. Probably should combine the defunct MMO's into a defunct MMO forum with all posts in it. Games that live in a single thread are fine as well (Minecraft/eve/a few others). Did I kill Rift yet after giving it it's own forum?

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

I checked both the Video Games and the Consoles forums first page of posts and over 90% of the games mentionned in either are available on both.
It's also aggravating when I want to discuss a title and I got in on the PC for much cheaper(thx steam) and the only discussion on the game is in the console forum. Doesn't make sense.
Personally I don't care about pc games for the most part, and would rather not have to pick through posts that don't pertain exactly to the platform I'm playing it on.
Like I said though, I can deal with it as long as the mmo nonsense stays separate.
