I say merge them but make all posters put the tag: SoA or ToB on there subject name so people can know to either reply or steer clear.

TURNIP!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

really though we all can see the merging would be better. just be careful in the spoiler tags.

Funny you should say that - there's one person posting in the SoA forum at the moment on his first ever run-through.

I say keep them separate. </font>[/QUOTE]I've still not played TOb either, despitae having BG2 for a long, long time. But if it was made that TOB had to be put in every thread relating to it I would not see the problem.

Hey Aragorn1, do you have ToB installed, or do you not have it at all? It really adds some fun, even if you never do the ToB expansion.

Anyway, I too feel they should be merged (or possibly all three BG games), with the requirement that the game in question is specified in the title of the thread.

I think the amount of traffic on the TOB page pretty much sums it up. It needs to be merged as it is already dying a slow painful death.

The one risk is that a rare new player could stumble upon plot elements much later in the series, though this can be solved by restraint and proper spoiler tags on the part of other board members.

I don't think there are very many people left that still don't know what happens at Spellhold, or the NPC who can join in TOB.

Very ture, but you really wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for those few newcomers.

You want my 2 cents ? (well my newly liberated two cents atleast :D ...)

Of course you don't, but i'll tell you what i think anyway...

ATLEAST merge the TOB and SOA forums, and in every title everyone could simply put SOA or TOB... and still have the courtesy spoiler tags for those events that not everyone knows about.

I would even include the BG1 forum personaly as that's just as bad as the TOB forum! But then you would have the problem of adding BG or TotSC headers along with SOA and TOB... also someone might accidently read a thread without a header thinking it is BG1 Whilst it is BG2 and perhaps spoiling something for them.

But then again how many people would have BG1 and not have BG2!?

Well that's my 2 cents... :D

Tom - Slayer

Absolutely merge it.

I have never played ToB and am only on my second run thru of SoA, but do not see it as problematic in any shape or form, you do not HAVE to read it, so as long as people are clearly marking ** SPOILERS** then everything should be tickety boo.

haha turnip
