Anyone wants to see a retro game forum on VGChartz?

I tend to agree with amp on this one. 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.

As one of the major contributors to the political forum, I would support it being done away with, or at least replaced with a more general one dedicated to also philosophy, religion, etc....
