Default Forums setup suggestion

I noticed a lot of threads and stuff are moving lately and it's only going to get worst. My idea is to simply just have P2P mmo's and F2P mmo's, and scrap all of the individual forums..you guys could implement that tagging system idk if this is PHP or what but you just select from a drop-down list and it will put the thread as like "[Aion] Some funny videos!" or "[Champions Online] IGN list" etc. that way you just add new tags instead of adding a whole new forum that no one visits and having to move a million threads back and forth.

Having f2p seperated from p2p would cut down half of the spam from all the threads without making it so people who want to talk about both have to go back and forth constantly or have a million tabs up to see if someone responds to certain threads etc.

I also feel the "MMOFPS" should be named "FPS" instead as it would be more appropriate to what is really posted there, and the foreign games would be good the way it is since a lot of people frequent those still. MMORPG requests is good the way it is I suppose every time I look they get answered for the most part.

I along with a lot of others really think it's a drag when one of our threads is moved from a forum with 100~200 viewers constantly to one with 1 every couple hours, so this would solve that as well as help the topic spamming along with having less forums to have to deal with.

The current system works great. Not everyone will be as careful to put on tags as they are at choosing the proper section. And speaking simply as a mod, we don't have to move a million threads back and forth, actually. And if we do have to, our mod tools are great so it doesn't take much time to do it. So don't worry about us. =]

Completely agree. Whenever I get a chance in the Staff Forum I bring this up, but it hasn't happened... Yet. Just sit tight, please!

Those forums with 1 or 2 views per hour usually don't last long, anyway. We monitor the activity in forums pretty carefully to make sure we're not wasting any bandwith and things of that nature.
