I think this is a perfect community, not to big to make yourself seem insignificant, and not to small to make the forums inactive. Neowin, i think is too big so you cant get an equal say.
So I think a games forum would make this forum a lot better

exactly, is so vast that there are many forums dedicated to them. if u want to talk about videogames, please, dont do it here .

Mine too. A game forum is too much for this board. Gaming-related threads are acceptable, but only because they're just general talk. A forum specifically for game discussion would only encourage more threads about games, and I don't want that. Video games don't even have a real relation to MsgPlus or Messenger.

Maybe they want a games forum to talk about minesweeper and tic tac toe

Why would you talk about Halo 2 in a Nintendo forum?

---

Lol, well it's a forum that's for a nintendo sites but its biggest members are video game freaks not fanboys and atm halo is our major source of discussion

btw, am I wrong in saying that this whole discussion only appeared because we had many different threads, all about Halo, which easly could've been posted in 1 or 2 single threads, instead of multiple threads all about the same Halo-subject?

I think, in other words, that the problem wasn't talk about a game (Halo) but about the fact that multiple threads were created with the exact same contents, while the older threads could easly be continued instead of creating yet another thread with the same Halo-subject...

(eg: just like those "what's your favorite song" threads... how many are there by now? It's not a problem to make such a thread, but it is when people are constantly creating new threads with exactly the same contents: eg: "list your song top-10")

I agree that there could've been only one thread, but the excitement between people meant that they weren't able to press the Search button to look for a thread, its quite annoying, the amount of multiple threads that are exactly the same there are.
