Gaming Section Rework - Voting Stage

[Laurie]

Please note: The LiveStream section will not be touched due to its new presence on the forum.

BEFORE VOTING:

Your vote could determine the future of this section on Sythe.org!

• Read the Gaming Rework thread, and check out what other members of the community had to say: http://www.sythe.org/suggestions/1620223-gaming-section-rework.html
  
• Take a look at the current state of the Other Games section, to find out what is currently working, and which sections are inactive. http://www.sythe.org/#other-games-discussion

Option 1:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> Gaming General

The idea behind this one is to have one, active section. If certain games feel as if they're taking over the section, appropriate sub-sections can be added post-merge.

Option 2:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> Xbox General
> Playstation General
> PC Gaming General
> Other Gaming

All platforms split, with an extra section for misc. items. Might not work with certain games being on multiple platforms.

Option 3:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> League of Legends Discussion
> World of Warcraft Discussion
> Xbox
> Strategy & First Person Shooters
> Other Games

Option 4:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> League of Legends Discussion
> Other Games Discussions
--> World of Warcraft
--> Diablo
--> Other RPG's
--> First Person Shooters
--> Handheld
--> Indie & Misc
----> Minecraft
--> Xbox Gaming

Similar to the current layout, but condeses Xbox gaming into one section.

Option 5:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> League of Legends Discussion
> Path of Exile
> WoW Discussion
> Diablo
> Other RPG's
> First Person Shooters
> Indie & Misc
> Console Discussion

This layout works well for those with specific games in mind, and for console gamers though splits PC games up into multiple sections.

Option 6:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> League of Legends Discussion
> Console Gaming
--> Playstation Discussion
--> Xbox Discussion
--> Handheld Discussion
> PC Gaming
--> WoW Discussion
--> Minecraft

Option 7:

> League Of Legends
> Livestreams and Media
> WoW
> Xbox
> Playstation
> Other PC Gaming
--> Minecraft

Option 8:

Other games Discussion
> LoL Discussion
> Livestreams & Media
> PC Gaming
> Console Gaming
--> Xbox Discussion
--> Playstation Discussion
--> Handheld Gaming
> Other games
--> Viral Game Discussion (Multi platform games)

 

[R]

#1 - let it form naturally if need be

 

[-Ryan]

Voted my own,(#6), I feel like its the best way to go if we aren't going to condense to one section. It's a better way to organize it for sure.

 

[iAGZzzz]

Agree with Roary completely, let the sections come into place dependant on demand and use.

 

[Darkest Dream]

Voted for option #4 even though that its similar to what we have. Condensing the sections into one just seems like a mess to me/harder for people to find what they're looking for. I think #4 covers the most bases.

edit: If we went with number one then there would immediately be suggestions for new sections and we would just end up with something like #4 anyway, I think its better to start covering all our bases and if something doesn't get any activity then we can do away with it.

 

[Add My Msn]

Voted for #1.

League of Legends should have it's own discussion section, based on it's current activity, and it's status in the gaming world. Also based on how fast and how much more it's growing here, it would be silly, more so counter-productive to dismiss it's own section.

It may seem bias coming from me, but I assure you it's not, just based of facts.

I voted #7. If not 7, I'd go with 3.

@Ame, why should active sections be purged into starting from scratch? I can guarantee you, users that come to Sythe.org solely for LoL, will not, more so, would have no idea where to find anything LoL related if it were to be hidden between everything else, i.e option 1.

 

[Alex_J_Leon]

I was between 4 and 3....

I don't mind Livestreams staying there, though I don't think it'll be active.
LoL is decently active... 666 threads =].
PoE... get rid of that... put that into ORPG. Strat and Handheld can be put into Misc... so yeah I agree with 4 after some thought to myself, except with one difference:

Other Games Discussion
> Livestreams and Media
> League of Legends Discussion
> Other Games Discussions
--> World of Warcraft
--> Diablo
--> Other RPG's
--> First Person Shooters
--> Handheld
--> Indie & Misc
----> Minecraft
--> Xbox Gaming

 

[S]

Also, the LoL was granted it's own section due to its promise and activity, which has only increased, and will only increase even further. (I suggested that, I'll try find it for reference.)

 

[Boxur227]

I voted for option 2 but option 1 is just as acceptable.

Looking at it now, i agree with Roary. The section needs to form itself, it can evolve over time if need be.

 

[Shin]

#6 - Looks more organized and League of Legends deserves its own sub-forum.

 

[S]

Found the thread:

Sythe (big rich) himself approved it/wanted it, after seeing the promise of it (which has been proven):

If that's the case, it'll be taken into account post-vote. Thanks!

 

[Quatakai]

Voted #1, option 5 coming in at a close second.

 

[einqebildet]

Voted #1

 

[Ziggily]

I voted for option one simply because I agree that it needs to form on its own.

If we could have option one with sub sections inside of the general area for LoL and WoW I would be happy.

 

[LoLSmurfin]

Option one strikes me as a very bad idea because it's going to get dominated by League of Legends. LoL is quite active among the community, and any other games' threads will most likely be pushed down the page quickly.

I voted for #7 because LoL is so active; the consoles can certainly fit in one section each and Minecraft having a subsection seems wise to me.

 

[Ziggily]

Yeah I like option #7 as well. I never really paid much attention to the Gaming Section in the past so I never really realized how much attention it needed.

 

[ASAPgang]

Option one would be a bad idea, LoL would dominate the section. With regards to option 7, as stated in an earlier thread, where would we go to discuss multi-platform viral games, such as COD? I know I could post it in it's respected platform area, but the game doesn't vary from platform to platform, whether it be PS3 or XBOX. I am stuck at the moment in which to actually vote for.
