    Unsub the RPG Forum?

    I dont think the RPG forum is getting enough traffic to warrant it being a subsubforum, and it's just getting neglected since thats another click you have to do to get to it.

    WoW/LBP/SSBB are fine as theyre full games, but with RPG theres rarely new threads started, and only a couple of replies a day.

    For example, with all this FF stuff coming up, it seems like a lot of people are missing info as it's stuffed all the way in the back, and people are tending to post the same info in other sections.

    Anyway, just my thought on it, I think it would be better to merge the RPG threads back into Gaming.

    Thoughts?

    I was recently wondering why that forum was still there. When Fallout 3 came out two people made topics for it in the RPG section, but the main topic went for twenty pages in the gaming section.

    Doesn't matter much, imo. I do agree though that at times I am to lazy to click again. So I just view the front page of the gaming topic and I only click on the RPG section if I see a new post has been made on a game I've been played or interest in.

    LBP, D&D and SSBB would all be lucky to get "a few posts a day" on most days. Leave it be, or unsub them all.

    I came in this thread expecting you to respond like this, thank you for not dissapointing.

    I'm all for merging the RPG with this though, I rarely check it nowadays unless I see the newest post has been made in a thread that actually interests me. Smash and D&D could probably get shot too since nobody seems to play/do either now. There's still new stuff being released for LBP so there is some activity going on in there.

    I aim to please.

    Even if DnD is dead, it doesn't overlap with anything. I could see the reason for killing it, but it's not the same one for merging away the RPG forum.

    You should chat with me more about journalistic integrity and all of that, sir. No one else seems to be interested, and that makes me sad in the pants.

    Considering the SMT Imagine and Persona 4 threads started in RPG both barely get posted on and the ones in Gaming are pages long, I'd say people aren't using the RPG sub-forum much anymore, might as well merge it.

    I say unsub them all, maybe except for WoW since it is separate after all. LBP can just get 1 big thread, same with SSBB.

    The main reason for this was that the "RPG" forum was essentially a "JRPG" section and discussions in many topics were genuinely unfriendly to western or non-JRPG titles. Granted, that does reflect the tastes of many of the posters on BG but it was rather discouraging.

    I think there's enough combined activity in the Gaming and RPG sections to justify un-subbing RPG.

    I'm not sure unsubbing the rpg section will give those topics more activity, but I don't see why the wouldn't be part of the "main" "gaming" section anyways. Never understood that.. So I'm all for making it part of this section.

    I like the gaming section though! It better not be merged!

    I would much rather unsub it, it's harder to keep up with topics when they are spread out through numerous sub forums, much easier to notice if a topic I want to read has some new posts if it is in a forum I actively look at. Also it could give RPG topics more input since more people would see them.

    I usually listen to elesirdur because he knows what the fuck is going on. Poll wins, unsub will happen once I figure out how to mass move all the threads.
