Please, do not get rid of sub-forums.

I was looking through hot-topics just now (which has all the forums) and I saw nearly all Wii-U threads and Vita threads. Neither of which I'm interested in. Sub-forums allow me to filter threads with one click, much more quicker & streamlined than a search function.

No sub-forums can still be the default setting (like hot-topics), but please give us the option (options are always good) to utilize the sub-forums.

Also make them easier to navigate through. In the old days, you could bring a drop-down-menu down and click on whatever forum to go through. You could go from forum to forum in one click. Now you have to go to the forum index and then go to the forum. It's too slow.

The forums should just be:
- Sales
- Gaming
- Playstation / Sony
- Xbox / Microsoft
- Nintendo
- Off-Topic
- Website

I think...no, I'm certain the majority prefers this method as opposed to getting rid of them altogether.

Again, just make them an option. We can still have hot topics as the default page.

I don't think it's going to stifle conversation at all. It worked pretty well back in the day. And people can still use hot topics when they please. And people can easily find threads that may be a few days old and have bumped off of the first few pages of hot-topics.

Now, with no sub-forums. A viewer may get frustrated as he looks through all the top threads & can never find one that interests him because they're all about Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony. Sub-forums remedy this.

A tag function just won't work as well as subforums. You'll have people typing different spelling for the same thing. (PS3 vs Playstation). You could have mispellings. And you could have people not using the tag function at all. Not to mention searching through tags is still searching. You'll have to go to a bar and enter information and press search. MUCH slower than a simple click-to-go sub-forum drop-down-menu.

Please keep sub-forums!
