Isn't that sort of what Talonman just did with being able to add forums to the game pages. You can make your official game threads there. Yes a little different but he could get it working how you want it.

Indeed.  This makes darth's idea redundant.

All we need now is a faster/easier method to access those forums that doesn't take so many clicks.

So kantor took all the hard work to write the wall of letters that is the OP & you credit me

THANKS WORD OF WISDOM!

We all know Kantor is merely your crazy robotic puppet.

But I'm the one with the cool throne (pun intended) and the deathblade!

OT: Yes, but I'm not going to search for the game, click on it, click on the forum tab, and THEN click on the thread, and repeat this every time I want to visit a different official thread.

They will remain on the game page, but they will be on this new board, in addition.

Now somebody get TalonMan in here!

Sounds like a decent idea, a lot of times I see a game stickied and I'm thinking why would that game be there anyway? It's not popular at all and I never even heard of it until I saw it stickied?

Official Game threads should be only for games that shows there are more then 100 VG charts owners. Unless we do what Kantor said then I guess all could be accepted.

FF13 and GoW3 both have far less than 100 owners, should we lock those threads?

>_>

yes something must be done its a mess now its hard to find the new news type threads

i remember the days wen there was like 1-3 stickies in each section

i think all the official threads should just show up in the games profile forum

If we keep removing things from the Sony/MS/Nintendo forums, we'll make those forums basically pointless. And if official threads are suddenly relegated to a different forum, they'll mostly be ignored, with people instead posting new information in the main forums because "more people will see it."



I don't read the stickies as it is.  They just take up space and make me scroll down the page to see the new threads that actually interest me.

It wouldn't be so bad if thread rows were shorter but since they're typically 2-3 lines then a bunch of stickies make me scroll way down just to see new threads.

You know what I mean, popular games



I like the idea. They could also maybe add a sub-section of stickied threads within each section.(i.e. in the Sony section they have a folder for Sony stickied or official threads etc. for each console). That way they can keep each game separate for it's console and also clean up the wall of stickies that just add clutter to the page.
Not sure if stickies are much of a problem for Wii/360 but with so many games, passionate fans, and number of consoles relative to the other two, Sony has a sticky problem. I'd hate to see the official threads go but I'd also appreciate if I didn't have to scroll passed 15 threads before getting to the ones that are relative to whats new.

Also I'm just learning how to use the new "games threads" feature thingy. If there is a way to search for specific threads for titles then that would eliminate the need to have official game threads stickied and that could clear up a lot of space. I guess that would eliminate the need for separate folders for stickies.

Threads about KZ2 can stay in Sony forum, threads about Mass Effect can stay in Microsoft forum, threads about NSMBWii can stay in Nintendo forum. I'm just saying that those few official thread in each forum related to games (Sony has SIX!) should be moved to this new forum.

As for people posting news in the main forum, they're going to do that anyway. If it's big enough for people to care, it will be posted outside of the official thread.

If you like, they could be in Company AND Official Threads forums, but that would be counterproductive.

Very nice, TalonMan.

However, it would be nice if stickies were at the top.
