True, but wouldnt it be nice to have one place to go for those things?

Re: I agree!!!
 

Yes it would.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

too specific

Re: Video Game Forum
 

No.

Seriously, if they can make a bad beat forum then a video game forum wouldnt be a big deal.

The variance forum serves a useful purpose. A video game forum would only serve to further dilute OOT. There's no need for that.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

Anything entertainment-wise with substance, should have its own catergory seperated from OOT.

I am guessing: television shows, movies, video games, and music can have its own forum to leave OOT to the discussion of sex, products, food, advice, stories, or other random [censored].

Re: Video Game Forum
 

Leave OOT alone.

Yes. It's already been diluted enough.

That's your opinion, and I strongly disagree with it. We don't need lots of little forums for each and every niche. That would defeat much of the fun of OOT. Honestly, if you really want a video game forum, there are plenty of them out there.

Spot on. Not only would it compromise OOT, there is really no point. There really is very little content that could go in most of these little sub-forums. Most worthy thread ideas end up in OOT (minus the 74 XBox 360 threads). You'd end up getting a few new threads a day, most of them garbage and very little worthwhile content. Look at sports, a topic that is essentially 24-hour news. Sometiems that forum goes dead for hours at a time.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

I don't think that it's necessary, all of those things fit in with OOT. This is a poker forum, not a general discussion forum.

Bad Beats was added because there was no other forum suitable for bad beat posts.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

Maybe if we have a video game forum, we should have a seperate category for each game platform, including PC. I know how annoyed I would be having to hear about the Game Cube, when I really only care about PlayStation2.

I also think if we are going to take Video Games from OOT, we should also have seperate forums for "masturbation" threads and "sex" threads.

And, oh, how could I forget, a seperate forum for each drug; i.e. marijuana, coke, meth, etc...

If we did the three above things the forum would be perfect.

p.s. Anybody think we need a "paper clip/staples" forum? Sometimes I don't know which to use. Like, when I filed my quarterly taxes, I was lost. But, if we had a forum for this, I would have been good to go (Okay, I am joking, I don't file quarterly taxes).

Re: Video Game Forum
 

Craig,

That's insane, paper clip/staples is way too narrow.

What we should have is a "bindings & adhesives" forum , so that it could include discussion of paper clips and staples, as well tape, glue, and other items used for holding things together.

Yeah, I didn't even think of that. But, what do you mean by holding things? Like binders, trapper keepers, etc? Or did you mean boxes and the like?

Maybe we should have a suggestions forum for just you and I. I think we have a firm grasp on what is necessary and what is not. I do moderate two forums already, but this one shouldn't be too hard.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

Just for the record I meant one forum for all 4 topics combined. The last thing anyone needs is 45 catergories for everything under the sun especially stuff that doesnt pertain to poker.

I guess binders fit it, but boxes would have to be in the "storage and shipping" forum. That could be for boxes, envelopes, shelving, file cabinets, and the such.

I like it. Hopefully Mat will agree. But, do you think we would need to break "storage and shipping" into seperate forums as well?

craig

Re: Video Game Forum
 

If Storage & Shipping is broken, then to be really concise it should be

1. Short Term & Temporary Storage
2. Long Term Storage
3. Domestic Shipping
4. International Shipping

Mat and Chuck are sure going to be busy. Hopefully some of the posters in the forum will have the different rates based on different companies. But, maybe 2+2 could become a Fed-Ex affiliate or something like that.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

You know, the more I think about this, the more I realize it is just a pipe dream. There can never be enough forums for what we want. So, maybe we should leave it as it is. Well, except for maybe the "David Sklansky" forum someone mentioned in another thread. I mean, how can you not give a forum to one of the greatest poker authors and discussors of necrophilia?

Okay, and I still think we should have a section for all dating/relationship questions. I mean, if I wanted dating advice, I think 2p2 is the place to go. Who knows more about relationships than a bunch of people who are on their computers all day playing poker and discussing online strategy games?

Nice

Re: Video Game Forum
 

I say leave OOT alone too. Each subject has too little going on to justify it (even all 4 together would have too little).
I'm a film nut, for example, but I get the feeling if I posted to a 'film forum' here, there'd be me and maybe 5-6 other guys just chewing over the finer points, and it'd soon get boring and unused. The joy of OOT is the damn thread can go absolutely anywhere, instead of being a relatively academic place to discuss things. It's a much richer discussion (and dare I say it - learning) environment for it.

Video games are for nerds.

Well, now we could have a forum for those who think video games are for nerds and one that doesn't think they are.

Re: Video Game Forum
 

should the video game forums be broken down into game type (FPS RTS RPG etc.) or console? and if console, how far back are you going to go. I still play NES games for instance.

No, we shouldn't. This is a poker forum. It's designed for the discussion of how to play poker. Including those forums will bring in the wrong sorts of patrons, and will raise the noise level here.
