What Xxain is saying is that general news stuff doesn't need to be all compiled into one thread. They should have their own official thread.

Official threads should be made for specific games, or events, not general news.

So you would want that many Official Threads? An Official Thread isn't supposed to be focused on one thing necessarily, it's supposed to show many things. Big things, like a Wii U release date and price, shouldn't be in an Official Thread. (Well, they can be but they should ave their own OP, too.) Small things, like a few new screenshots for Fire Emblem and Black Ops II, should go into the Official thread so as to not clutter the site even more.



whoops, that's supposed to say "they should have their own individual thread".

And yes, small stuff like that could have their own thread. It'll allow for small, focused discussion on that one topic. Take the Black Ops pics for example. I didn't even know there were Black Ops pics released. Why? Because I haven't been following every single title update to the Official thread. Say I want to go see these pics you're talking about. I'll have to search through a epically long thread to find them or I'll have to ask somebody to link me to them & hope they'll give me the appropriate link.

A better thing to do would be giving Black Ops screenshots it's own thread. That way, not only will I immediately see the thread when it's created, I'll also be able to easily locate the pics.

Threads about games isn't going to clutter. If a thread appears to be useless, then it'll fade away.

I personally think the official threads can still exist though. But I also think that smaller threads should be more frequent.
