For those that don't know what this means, when you click on the past generations or current generation forum sections a SECOND list of forum categories comes up to choose from.

Some hate this and some like it because it cuts down on forum clutter and makes it more organized. Right now I am paying for ad removal for you guys, so if you like this feature I might ask for donations in the future because it eats up a lot of extra page loads. If I take subforums away that means on the main page you will see ALL of the subforums listed instead of past and current sections

Well slower users will suffer from sub forums but other users will treasure the organization of these forums... and the layout tho offers a list to choose your selected subforum on the index page.
You know you are a gamer when,
- Everytime you need to take a pill, you can't help saying, "Waka, Waka, Waka"
- Whenever someone complained about a blister, you show them the scar you got from the rafting minigame in Mario Party 1.
- You have watched 24 "Let's Plays" and are damn proud of it.

it is very true about the list under the main forum, however it would be nice if it told you if there were new posts in that subforum rather than having to click on each link.

I can tell you though that if we keep subforums ads will probably be showing up again because I checked before and we have burned through nealry 1,000 page views in like an hour. I cant afford that lol.

I think the current layout is very efficient and looks fine. Once the forum gets a few more users, I'm sure you'll be able to get enough donations for ad free.

Welcome To Warp Zone!

I think there needs to be just a Current Gen/Last Gen board, and a Retro Gaming board. Having them separated will allow people to have more open and more frequen and more relevant discussions without having to wade through topics that they just aren't interested in. However, subdividing it any further than that is going to lead to some very dead boards.

Thats the problem though. It would become a jumbled mess if I combined all of the retro stuff into a single forum, same goes for Wii, PS3, 360 etc. I doubt users that care less about say....the PS3 or Wii want to shuffle through tons of topics just to find stuff about 360. By having each console in a subforum it allows them to easily go to the content they want to read and talk about.

I think they are going to be kept. If subforums were taken off as an option the main page of the forum would be huge (since there is quite a bit of space between forum sections) and it would look quite ghostly in some sections that receive less attention than others.

I wouldent want to break it down too specific, it would become more confusing on where to post with so many subforums.

I would say no do to the fact that it would make a forum like this ( around 400 ) people feel lonely and like nobody was ever one. I'm actually more in favor of merging some forums so responses would be higher and more people could see that people do actually log on. I don't known just my opinion
