Uh…what is Retro these days? Is that information that has been clarified in that forum? I almost feel like there needs to be a Bit Retro and a Poly Retro if that makes any sense. Posting about Elebits on the Wii definitely seems retro by today’s standards, for instance and would fit in the Poly Retro, but I could absolutely see it not being considered retro in a normal retro forum.

Wii and 6th Gen are definitely considered retro amongst the retro gaming community. 7th Gen is very much considered retro as well because those systems have CRT hookups. HDMI-Only seems to be the hard cutoff for what is considered retro. 



Any chance we could add a section on the front page for pinned forums? E.g. Club Nintendo, Xbox |OT|, the main Sony thread, and maybe a few others?

Could also add a “Thread of the Day/Week” section (and if you want to incentivize theead creation, you could award those Gamer Point things to users who create a thread that is promoted to Thread of the Day/Week.
