KOF is (was) a great series, but come on, there's plenty enough fighter series on the Neo to warrant a forum just for fighters. Besides, look at some the topics now.....Who Has The Coolest Jacket ? :oh_no:

Shooters get their own thread, so IMO, Fighters in general deserve one. I don't feel the General Forum counts as a psuedo-fighters forum. Too watered down with other topics. I also don't think the GamePlay forum should count either, it's also loaded with strats and such from all kinds of games, including non Neo games.

This new forum could also help keep the SF fans from posting everywhere in the forum. Lets face it, despite being a Neo site, there's still tons of SF chatter going on. Series like SS, FF and LB seem to get threads posted in random forums, so all in all it would help tidy up the place a little.

Just my 2 cents, I rest my case.

What about the Gameplay forum then?

I would just merge the forum (and everything else applicable) into gameplay.

An 'All About Fighters' forum right next to the shmups forum wouldn't
be bad, me thinks. I actually think is a good idea, let's get some
more 3rd Strike discussions going.

Make sure to take out the KOF forum though. Or move all topics from the
KOF forum to the All About Fighters one.

Thumbs up from me. I could see that being my most-viewed forum.

The idea of the forum is fine, but other than combining with KoF, we now have a lot of redundancy with the Online Gaming forum which is mostly 3S stuff and the Gameplay forum which is 90-95% fighting game discussion.

What has not been covered on the Neo?

Do you want the boards to get more stale?

There is a general discussion for your Neo needs...

I think you whine just to be heard...

I think this will purge a lot of unnecessary threads from online. The Online section is still a great place to have matchmaking, after fight comments, and comments about the other person's playing on that set. The all about fighters forum will contain things for any fighter out there, while online is restricted to the fighters played online and other games like FPS, mmorpgs, etc.

One thing that I think is necessary is a better name for it, and All About Shooters while we're at it.

chimp didn't like mine:
Punch to the Face!
SHoot M UP Forum

Both concocted in 10 seconds.

He has a point tho.

It's obvious that there's less interest in Neo and Neo discussion, but IMO, we should be careful with a too "open" approach to video gaming in general to prevent turning this place into yet another generic vg-related house of blah.

ng.com still is an important part of the Neo world, and many ppl come here because of that. The site has (or had) a clear-cut profile, and IMO, it wouldn't be a clever move to risk that and alienate ppl (long-time fans and n00bs alike) by watering down the Neo content even more.

Yeah, the new policy attracts new members, but I know for sure that it also distracts some old members from posting like they used to, because they don't feel "at home" anymore, if you know what I mean.

So, we should keep Gameplay and KoF and make them strictly Neo-related again. For all other fighters/shmups and whatnot, there's All About Fighters, Online Gaming, All About Shooters and Unrelated.

Nice. Very good point. Let's keep Gameplay and KoF.

It's cool to have unrelated and lots of places for game discusion outside of the neo, because there is that connection that we all are Neogeo gamers. Neogeo gamers are slighty strange and a little more hard core than the average gamer.

These lame trends of "I don't even have a neo!" and stuff like that just seem to detract from the whole purpose. (although I do see the humor in that)

This is the difference between people who play games and people who bitch about them.

Maybe make 1 whole section of thew boards "Neo only" - like separate everything from it.

I understand that this is NG.com, but this place is still home for a lot of us who have run out of things to discuss about the Neo..

And I also understand that there are many on the site who are pissed about having to sift through all of the unrelated games discussion to find a good neo topic.

maybe a major shift in the boards is necessary.
