This place needs a "Retro Gaming" forum

We had a thread. It failed after 100 posts. Was done by hutnick.

Probably because it got pushed to page 10 of threads after a few days of no posts, hence why a seperate forum makes sense.

I know it won't be as active as other forums but I really think it needs its own section rather than a thread. Some really cool stuff can be talked about when it comes to classic games and consoles and if its a thread under "Gaming Discussion" it will just get burried beneath the 50th "900p vs 1080p" comparison thread posted in the last 24 hours. I've never seen this retro gaming thread that supposedly failed...

Any threads there would still get pushed back to really late pages on hot topics there as well. Only people that actually go to that section would see stuff there on the front page. Look at some sections of the forum and you can see threads that haven't been used in months still on the front page. That's what it would be like.

If there isn't enough demand for 1 thread why would there be enough demand for a whole section with multiple threads?

Cause it doesn't hurt anyone for it to be there? Doesn't hurt to ask either... If you build it, they will come?

I don't know how people navigate this site but when I come and click on forums, I only have PC and gaming discussion enabled. Dont care to see other forums and their threads as all that stuff is in hot topics frequently.
