I feel very strongly that we should pay more attention to older games -- especially because gaming is now in a decadent period -- but I worry that a new forum might be overkill. I would suggest an official "retro" thread to scratch the itch. In any event, thanks to richardhutnik for pushing this topic forward. |
I don't think a new forum would be overkill. We could probably do without the politics one. It causes more trouble than it's worth.
The thing about retro gaming is that there is just as much to talk about as todays games. Re-releases and remakes are happening all the time. There's console fixing issues, old system mods, favorite games, lost gems, rediscovered classics, etc. There's just so much to talk about retro gaming that it really needs it's own forum. It would also help build the community up because those that want to talk about retro topics wouldn't have to go elsewhere to do so.

The political discussions will go strong with or without its own sub forum. The "trouble" would exist regardless, though I don't see how the political trouble is any different from the constant gaming trouble we get on here. If anything, it
should have its own sub forum so people like yourself can effectively block it from appearing on their hot topics list.
