Gamers' Lounge poll

I'd say the tone is different. Yes one is more for spam. But off topic I see as a place for more serious discussion. Talk about things that are actually happening in Off Topic, while the cafe is just for randomness sake, and I like that.
Except most people don't even care about the difference. I see topics everyday in one forum that would better belong in the other.

Hence my suggestion ;P
 
Frankly I think Jason's has far too many forums. We need to consolidate, not make more forums. The past has proven that if you split one topic-entity into several more forums you pretty much will sentence some of those new forums to an eventual death.

As for the forum games, I can't stress enough how pointless these are. Saying that people will just re-make them is no reason to keep the board. It's simple: don't allow pointless topics. They add nothing to the forum, and the people who post in them don't get much of anything out of them. We can do better than that.

Also, I changed my mind about The Museum.
 
But...yeah. The layout definitely needs to change. The Nintendo subforums now are useless. Most of the times people put Wii and DS topics right in the main section of the gamers lounge. It's really disorganized how it is.

Yeah, I'm all for one Nintendo board. I keep forgetting about the Wii and DS subforums.
 
I wouldn't discuss Xbox games more, because I don't have an Xbox. XD

But I think separate boards would definitely encourage me to discuss PC and Playstation games more. ^^
 
Topic Moved: The Bell Tree HQ.

Since we are talking about the layout in general now.

Consolidation! Now we're talking. I've been saying this for quite a long time now. Mino and I have quite a few of the same ideas, I realized, after typing this.

-Condense Brewster's Cafe and Off Topic into one board. Is a what is considered 'spam' board worth even having?

-I know that this will never happen, but ditch the Animal Crossing theme. Seriously, Jeremy, just give it up. It's a dead game. Make one video game category, one forum for each platform OR company. (PC, XBox 360, PS3, Wii, handheld) (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony)

-Get rid of the bell system and marketplace.

-Three categories:

One for The Bell Tree (with one forum for announcements and discussion, or two)
One for video games (see above)
One for bull*censored.2.0* (with two forums, one Off Topic and one Museum)
