A Misc. Video Games forum

**Valigarmander** · 07-28-2009, 05:52 PM

We have the Nintendo Forum... we have forums for PC, XBox and Playstation gaming... we have forums for RPGs, Guitar Hero and GTA... what about a forum for games that don't quite fit into any of those categories? I know I've had trouble figuring out where to post certain topics in the past. It'd just be a "Misc. Games" forum or something like that, probably in the VGF.com sub-forum along with most of the others. What do you think?

And we have the Mario Forum. Stop on by, guys. It's where it's at.

^ Thank you.

If it doesn't fit in the other forums, it's old as dirt.

It goes in the Retro Forum.

That's...not a bad idea. Not sure how many threads it would get, but still a good idea.

lets do it

Hmmmm... I don't think we'd make it to a forum. It could be one of those topics that go on for months.

Well, actually it would make a nice sub-forum.

There's a forum for each game console company (and PC); I don't see why you can't put it there. The only exceptions I can think of are iPhone/cell games and board games.

Mobile gaming forum?

Metal Man · 07-28-2009, 09:38 PM

But who would post in it?

Since that's usually the issue. There's stuff outside our pre-existing categories, but I haven't seen much of demand for that.

This amazing revelation brought to you by the strikethrough tag.

Honestly, anything that SOMEHOW doesn't fit into any category, it belongs in the Misc. Forum.

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-30-2009, 09:54 PM

Honestly, there are things in the Misc. Forum which can go into other forums.
