What if for one reason or another Z had to delete one of these forums. BG2 and TOB Forum. Wizardly 8. All the Neverwinter forums. Or the Current Events. Or Morrorwind. Which of these if such a thing came to pass will you consider "Expandable"? I say down with Wizardly 8. Why? Because I don't go there and it won't be a loss to me. *goes behind the couch therfore evading the knives, darts and other harmful things thrown at him by the fans*

ah man. you're gonna get it now sythe. not from me but the wizardry fans.

Stratos 12-15-2003 07:19 PM

None, but I think he should merge the Neverwinter Nights forum with it's expansion forum. I see no reason to have both.

Expandable?

Well, by it's nature, the Current Events Forum is easily the most expandable. The nature of current events is that this particular forum can only continue to grow.

NWN is also on the expansive path with the release of two recent expansions and thousands of homemade mods.

The others? I haven't played and can't be sure about, but I'm just glad you didn't ask which should be removed if push came to shove because it would be nearly impossible to determine which of those forums are expendable. ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]


Just for curiosity, why would you post this? Curiosity in general? Fundraising questions? A popularity contest between the different games here????

If it were up to me to drop something, it would have to be Morrowind or Wizardry 8, but only because I've never played either, while the others have brought me months of enjoyment. ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]

ToEE forum is hardly posted in, so maybe just move that into Miscellaneous Games. Also, I don't mind moving Current Events into General Discussion (let's face it, people are posting stuff now about Saddam's capture here in General Discussion; people are always "crossing the line" between the two). Can also combine Wizards & Warriors into Miscellaneous Games, as well. Also, you can combine NwN and the expansion thread into one (people are asking questions all the time on the main NwN forum about the expansions).

No way, It's confusing enough as it is. Newcomers to those forums forget to head their posts appropriately and refer to "the OC" casually when they could mean at least 2 OC's :rolleyes: . Poor Larry has a hard enough time as it is sorting between the SOU and the HotU posts, well he and his new friend, :mad: .

Hate to say it, but merge BG2 and ToB. Half of the BG2 posts include ToB anyways...

I agree: just add the tag "ToB" in your post's title. On top of that the Throne of Bhaal forum doens't get that many posts anyway.

Gnarf 12-16-2003 05:31 AM

I'd be happy to trade the Morrowind-forum for, say, a roguelike-forum...

Jorath Calar 12-16-2003 05:58 AM

General Discussion... I mean it's nothing but spam spam spam... have you guys seen some of the stuff thats posted there?

[please note the sarcasm... [img]smile.gif[/img] ]

LordKathen 12-16-2003 06:19 AM

<font color=lime>I fail to see the point of this thread. Why would Z "need" to, or "have" to? Whats your point? Unless you're getting some inside info from Choc, I see no reason to ponder such a thought. :confused: </font>

Ziroc 12-16-2003 08:33 AM

The only forum I would probably close would be ToEE, because it's dead, and the game did NOT deliver, and was full of bugs. Other than that, all other forums will remain.


PS: Current events will not expand [img]smile.gif[/img] , since this is a gaming forum, it will all stay in one forum, and in the future, it may be removed as well, it'll be determaned by how the posts go--if there is too much hate/flaming/arguing, it's history. We'll see. ;)

Why Wizardry 8? Throne of Baal has less posts. :D

edit: *boomerang shuriken flies back and gets thrown ovr and over again*

Some forums pass their sell-by date and get archived like Darkstone. Some never really get off the ground or have a very limited lifespan like the hardly-missed Dungeon Siege forum. It's all part of IW's natural evolution.

slicer15 12-16-2003 12:05 PM

Wait a minute...Dungeon Siege had a forum? :D

Zuvio 12-16-2003 01:39 PM

Well, I'll be!! I still have a link to the Dungeon Siege and the ToEE forums! [img]smile.gif[/img]

ToEE. You could say the same thing for IWD(both) and ToB. ToEE is dead IWD and ToB Forums are close to dead... VERY SLOW...

I put what if! Meaning what if this kind of thing happened. I cannot think up a reason why Ziroc would have to need to do this kinda thing. Just think of this as an Hypothetical situation.

LordKathen 12-16-2003 07:16 PM

<font color=lime>Ok. It just seemed like a weird thing to wonder. Sorry if I came across rude. No rudness meant. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>
