Forum merges

aria · Oct 14, 2008

After experimenting the past few years with breaking specific topics into their own subforums, we have decided to merge a number of them back into larger topics.

The following forums were merged, all topics in those forums were moved to the target forum:

Crap (originally Next Gen) --> Unrelated Topics

King of Fighters --> Game Play

24-bit --> General Discussions

A/V and all its subforums --> Unrelated Topics

That's for the better. I strongly support your decisions and choices.

Only issue for me is that Unrelated needs a few things unstickied, a bit cluttered up there. Could probably undo the Virtual Console and Wii Number threads so long as Next-Gen doesn't have its own forum anymore.

Move the 1cc thread to Game Play.

Might be time for the Saturn Gamer memorial thread to become a memorial page.

Hell, un-sticky all of them.

thank you!

Rade K · Oct 14, 2008

thanks guys

sounds like a plan to me. I think Hyper64 and arcade could be merged too...

Good points: I've unstuck the "old time" threads, I've moved the 1CC to gameplay.

I've unstuck SaturnGamer's memorial thread --but I haven't been able to edit the pages to create new memorial pages for him or Sifl.

Hyper-64 has nostalgic purposes that may keep it as a subforum as a big forum, but probably not completely removed.

As for arcade, I thought of merging possibilities, but do people have any suggestions?

Merge it into General Discussion.

I thought he meant "merge hyper into arcade"... but that obviously wouldn't happen before it were merged into a more general Neo related forum.

This post is just a cover for me to say: Me heart arcade.

Ghost-Dog · Oct 14, 2008

I agree that things are much better this way. The board was getting entirely too cluttered. Unrelated may get a bit crowded, but the consolidation should make things appear busier with more new posts happening in one place.

Loopz · Oct 14, 2008

Good call y'all.

DanAdamKOF · Oct 14, 2008

I always wondered what the use of 24 bit was...

yagamikun · Oct 15, 2008

me likes. good call.

Merge handhelds with unrelated.

Or even better, create a non-neogeo gaming section that includes handhelds.

Neo-Geo Pocket topics can be either moved to General, or merged with the Hyper 64 topics in a newly-named section.

The Merged forums are not available in the UAE, but our engineers are working on it!

Seriously though, I think handheld is actually pretty good... I like that it no longer focuses on the Pocket and instead gets pretty active threads on DS, PSP, etc.

loegan43 · Oct 15, 2008

All the mergers look good, except I'm with Forever Sublime, keep Arcade.

The Chief · Oct 15, 2008

One more vote to keep the Arcade forum around.

BIG BEAR · Oct 15, 2008

Hmm..NOt feeling overwhelmed any longer..starting to get the urge to post once again.
I would want to see Online Gaming and Hyper-64 nuked before Arcade Central.
The Hyper-64 forum should just be a very large faq at this time.Any additional discussion about it can take place in NEOGEO General Discussion.

There's a lot of info on the Hyper Neogeo 64 which is spread out among a lot of people (and a lot of really old posts). A consolidated, HTML-based FAQ with images and such would definitely not be a bad thing. I recall, at one point, I translated a lot of the diagrams on the Rev2 Hyper (mostly pointing out which plugs didn't go anywhere).

I love how everyone here actually cares about how the forum is set out. I guess it's too hard to press the back button and click a bit more.

You're darn right I care about the layout... now how do I hide this post? Ignore list... ignore list... ah, there we go.

Jerk.
