Can we get more catergorys? mods,anyone thoughts please

[fitterpete]

Guys, respectfully,
If you put all the GW futuristic in one category you'll have to sift thru all the BFG and Epic to find 40k that is already a very busy forum.
If you have a GW fantasy that includes ALL GW fantasy,wouldn't LoTR be in there too? Then you have to go thru all that in a already crowded forum.
Another thing to consider is we can only post every seven days.The more you put in each forum,the more post,the faster ev eryones post move to the second page= less time that people will actually look at your post.
How often do you get response to a post that is on a second or third page?
It might look all neat and organized but it's not user friendly.I'd rather have a clapped up piece of junk that runs than a Porche with a flat tire.

Posted my last at the same time as John's last so
I like keeping the 28mm GW seperate from the other scale GW.Like he said the Examples are the key.Mordheim should be with Fantasy and Gorka,Space Hulk and Necromunda should be with 40k.Makes sense.But BFG,Warmaster,and LoTR need to be somewhere else.Also the historicals are fine the way they are.If you can't figure out where to put stuff now you shouldn't be playing historicals

Ok, I have stolen ideas from everybody and came up with what I would like to see.

Futuristic
- Warhammer 40,000/Necro/Gorka/Space Hulk
- Other Games Workshop Futuristic (=I=, BFG, Epic)
- misc. futuristic (OGRE, HG, VOR, VOID, AT-43)
- futuristic auctions

Fantasy
- Warhammer Fantasy/Mordheim
- Other Games Workshop Fantasy(Warmaster, LoTR)
- Warmachine/Hordes games & Iron Kingdom miniatures
- misc. fantasy
- fantasy auctions

Historical
- Modern (WW1 and later)
- Pre-Modern (e.g. Ancients, Napoleonic, ACW)
- historical auctions

Collectible Games
- Minis CMGs (e.g. Pirates, Clix, MWDA, Monsterpoc)
- Card CCGs (e.g. Magic, Pokemon, YuGiOh)

Services
- painters
- Terrain
- stores / advertisers (place for advertiser to inform about specials and such)

I like that, Gov... I don't see any changes really needed.

I can work with that, but would LIKE to see board gaming get it's own specific forum..

I think that RPG's and Boardgames could be merged into a single forum (judging from the amount of traffic I see for RPG's I don't think adding traffic for boardgames would make it an overly busy forum.

Maybe with a place for boardgames alot more will show up for trades.

I like Govannon's list (with the help of John).Don't forget confrontation in the misc. fantasy examples.

[JohnHwangBT]

*Great* suggestions and commentary!

I generally agree that RPGs and boardgames don't generate much traffic ATM, so could fold together.

[gordon]

Filterpete s last post made me think having good (samples) for each listing would be important wondering if anything in that area might be suggested ??? its looking very nice and focused great input guys!

Nah.
Put Board games back in misc. there hasn't been enough interest to warrant its' own forum.
Besides, if interest in them DOES increase, adding their own category later will cause the members less annoyance/confusion than removing it (and folding it into misc.) would cause if there proves to be little or no interest.

Sometimes the heroscape players can do alot of trading given a place to do it ,and looking for older games might be easy with someplace to do it.. If this goes forth Im looking forward to a copy of "dark tower" if anyone has one still ...LOL
