| Kantor said: 1) In Hot Topics, you can customise to see only the forums that you want, but I see what you mean: it's only one at a time. 2) Absolutely 3) Pffft, NeoGAF style. NeoGAF is a mess, because Sony threads, Microsoft threads and Nintendo threads are all mixed together, and then you throw sales discussion into that and it's chaotic. 4) I quite like seeing a little bit about the person when they post. It doesn't tell you their life story, just the sort of things they like to play. Badges aren't strictly necessary, admittedly, but I do like the post count, gamrRewards score and Now Playing. In fact, adding "Favourite Platform" (i.e. with the most games) to that would be great. As for the empty space, that's because you have sigs disabled |
How does that make it a mess? The platform of a game is always listed in a thread's title, and it's not like there are too many threads to read through on a single page, even with sales threads added in, which they wouldn't be in my example.
Plus, 95% of games are multiplatform. It seems silly to dedicate whole boards to the 5% that aren't in addition to some other platform-specific discussion. And you have confusion now where Sony/Microsoft/Apple related information that has absolutely nothing to do with gaming gets posted in the Sony/Microsoft/PC boards instead of off topic. The Nintendo board thankfully remains pure, for obvious reasons.
But either way, I didn't say this would have to apply to everybody. I simply would like, for my own convenience, some way to combine forums so that they are not as broken up as they are now, nor all tossed into one mega-forum.
And I have no real issue with a user's points and posts showing up, I suppose. It's all the stuff below that that that gets me.
