Other Games

I think we also suggested putting Spore, RoN, GCII, and Total War into the All Other Games Forum, as they don't have enough traffic to warrant their own subforums. We also suggested making Forum Games its own subforum, not inside All Other Games- it has nearly as many posts as the rest of All Other Games combined, and that's not counting the missing two years or so from when the database overloaded.

It's not entirely about traffic. There is something special about Alpha Centauri that will guarantee it a spot on the main forum listing.

The current layout of the Other Games forum is in dire need of reorganization. There are sub forums that get hardly any traffic, and their are sub forums of the sub forums that get a lot of traffic. With this in mind, I think a list of sub forums that get enough traffic to warrant their own sub forum should be made. Here is my opinion on the matter:

Active Sub-Forums: - Sub forums that get enough traffic to have their own sub forum - Alpha Centauri, Never Ending Stories, All Other Games, Forum Games

Inactive Sub-Forums: - Sub forums that do not get enough traffic to have their own sub forum - Spore, Sid Meier's Railroads!, Galactic Civilizations II, Rise of Nations, Total War, Chess, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Colonization, Master of Orion, Call to Power Series

Now that has been sorted out, it's easier to see how the Other Games forum should be organized (or at least, in my opinion):

Other Games​

• Alpha Centauri - No sub forums are needed here, and it should just be left as it is currently.
• Never Ending Stories - No sub forums are needed here, and it should just be left as it is currently.
• Forum Games - Currently a sub forum of the All Other Games sub forum, Forum Games gets just as much traffic as Never Ending Stories and most of the current Other Games sub forums. Threads such as the following should be in the main Forum Games sub forum: Real Life Questions to Get to Know Each Other, While We Wait, The Forum Games Catalogue/Information Thread. Although the following is not necessary, it is strongly recommended that Forum Games have the following sub forums:
  • Empire Building Games - Would consist of threads such as the following: Imperium Offtopicum, Lazy NES, Diplomacy
  • Non-Spam Games - Would consist of threads such as the following: Mafia, Night of the Werewolves, Snakes and Foxes, The Academy, Risk
  • Spam Games - Would consist of threads such as the following: Good Wish Bad Wish, Roll to Dodge, Eat Poop You Cat, Quiz Games, Caption Contests, Story Continuation Games, List Games, Beat the Pic Above You, Good Wish Bad Wish, Fortunately Unfortunately
• All Other Games: Spore, Sid Meier's Railroads!, Galactic Civilizations II, Rise of Nations, Total War, Chess, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Colonization, Master of Orion, Call to Power Series

EDIT: Draw Your Own Story should be moved to the Arts and Entertainment forum, and I don't really care about whether forum games gets post count enabled or not - the mods can decide that.

It would also be nice to be able to hide specific subforums that are under All other Games as the only one I am interested in is Total War and the others just take up screen space i have to scroll past.

I have created two new subforums in AOG: Mafia/NOTW, and Imperium OffTopicum. I have moved the obvious (to me) threads. Let us moderators know which other ones need moved.
