Because it is the coolest and most read forum here, so the spambots post where there is the greatest traffic.

The reason they gravitate there is that they think not enough traffic would spot them out, so they can leave the link there, and pray it doesn't get removed. If the link stays, search engines will eventually pick it up and increase the site ranking for the linked site. I highly doubt that they expect any of us to ever buy from their site, but rather that the site would get a better search result ranking on google.

You would think at certain forums though it would be better to post in an extremely high traffic page where the post would be buried pages down in a matter of an hour if no one replied to it.

Why don't we just fold the Hyper section into somewhere else at this point. It really doen't need to exist any longer.

It is a good forum to keep for the Hyper 64 enthusiasts. It provides a good reservoir of info.

we get literally dozens a day, most don't actually end up figuring out how to post a thread.

All two of you?
Seriously, I'm sure there isn't *that* much information in the threads that we couldn't compile into a Wiki entry or something.

Why would we move it into Market? It would make more sense to move it into General or Arcade.

True.
Could be more organized, though.
Fighting forum
Racing forum
Shooter forum
It'd be much easier to find info then.
