Many of our forums aren't as active as we'd all wish them to be, so lately we've been discussing combining forums. While I can't promise we can follow everybody's opinion or request on this matter, I think it's fair to ask you guys what you feel should be combined, and what shouldn't be combined. Here is some meat to get you started...
-We're talking about combining much of the "Gaming" forums, but not Forum Games. -Possibly removing "Newcomers Forum" and putting that as a sticky instead. -Combining Art/Programming into a creative forum. -Bumping Tavern up to the top, general chat generally is.
But if you create one section for general gaming, you can put flash games, video games, quests, walkthroughs and MMOs all in the same place.
This is a gaming site. You can't just throw all of the forums for games together. Even if they are sparse in content and activity, they are the purpose of this site. While some of them can be combined, you definitely cannot throw them all together in one big melting pot.
