Tell that to Jeremy and see what he'd say. lol.

No, turning TBT into a general video game forum is just stupid. You'd have to change everything. And I know from experience that forums that go this route usually end up failing in the long run. Take Brawl Central, for example. The forum that I went to before TBT. They decided to turn into a general Nintendo forum, and then a general video game forum, and the place slowly died out. You can't change the main focus of TBT unless you want it to fail. And the whole "Animal Crossing isn't popular anymore" argument is invalid. Some people are just losing interest because the latest Animal Crossing game is getting old now. But that's nothing new, because the same thing happened to Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: Wild World, but TBT survived, didn't it? There's no need to change anything. Except maybe more mods and community events, that is. And a move to a better forum software (one that will allow you to transfer all data over during the move, not vBulletin).

Leave it the way it is now. This is a *censored.3.0*ing Animal Crossing forum, not a general video game forum. Why the hell would you put a Sony and Microsoft subforum in a forum based on a Nintendo game?! You might as well throw in a Movie & TV Show and Music forum, too. Oh, and don't stop there, why don't you also add Sports and Cooking. No, better yet, let's turn The Bell Tree into an EVERYTHING forum!! <small>/sarcasm</small>
If you weren't fake ranting I'd agree with you,

But really we need change most members that are worth sticking around don't play CF so maybe a new video game forum will give a breath of fresh air.
If we add more forums that are completely unrelated to Animal Crossing and completely unneeded, we might as well change the name of the forum to "The Everything Tree". >_> If you want to talk about Microsoft and/or Sony games, then do so in the Gamer's Lounge. There's no need to make new forums when what we have works fine. It's not broken, so why fix it?
They're sub forums dude....
So? They're unneeded. If anything, they should be a joinable group. I'm still waiting for that Pok

About the tearing everything down. We're doing that anyways so honestly I see nothing wrong with it.
 
Well, anyway, I think perhaps a Non-nintendo subforum would be nice, there seem to be a lot of those topics.

Yes, so? There won't be a problem if we move to a forum software that will keep everything from the ZetaBoards database.

Survived is stretching it.
 
I think we have enough PC, Xbox, and Playstation players that there could be those subforums(along with Nintendo of course)

As for turning the forum into a general videogame forum, that would not be beneficial at all. The only reason we get as much traffic as we do is because of AC, basically EVERYONE came to this forum for AC, and while most of us have migrated away from AC, we still post in the forums other parts thus keeping the forum alive for now. So if people keep coming for AC, we'll get a few out of those who become forum regulars, and so far it's been working.

I never said Animal Crossing wasn't popular anymore. I just said not a lot of people play ACCF anymore.

You don't have to play City Folk to talk about Animal Crossing and related games. >_>

Quoting limited to 5 levels deepIf anything, they should be a joinable group.
Dude, what's the big deal, it's not gonna change the focus of the site and you don't have to post there.
There are a lot of people here who don't want to see those kind of threads, though. If it was a joinable group, it would still get its own forum, but you wouldn't have to see the threads unless you have joined the group. It's a win-win.
That's why the subforums WOULD be good since you wouldn't have to see them unless you went into them.
No, because if they were normal subforums, they would still show up in the Active Topics list. If they were a joinable ground, they wouldn't appear there unless you had joined that group.
So? That happens now anyway. I know lots of people sick of all the Brawl topics. Would it be fair to ask them to stop posting in those topics?
