new forum category?

I'd like one.  That way we could be off in a corner without people that don't care (or hate) constantly talking smack

  • Honestly Robin, no matter where you are, haters gonna hate!



    I personally don't think a separate category is necessary
  • What would stop people from going in there and saying the same stuff?
  • But then the people that hate on it would know exactly where to look
  • The Sealed Corner of Solace.
  • I say no
  • And sealed people wonder why they hate them... they even feel special enough to get their own category! (Kidding... but yeah, I vote no also.)
  • Only under the conditions that we bring Darksol back, sticky every VGA-bashing thread, and ban Robin for suggesting such absurdity will I accept this.



    But seriously, I think the forums out there dedicated just to sealed would suffice for the sealed collector if the discussion that already happens here doesn't. I don't really see how it would enhance the discussion in any way anyhow.
  • I think we have plenty of categories as is. I vote no. Of course I am jaded, I hate VGA and I am not a sealed collector

    ~~NGD
  • I agree with above that we have enough categories as is. If we add a sealed category, we could add a hardware category, merchandise category etc, and it would just be too much.

  • Would it kinda be like the the "Finer things club" from the Office?

    Exactly what came to mind. But apparently Robin is a rabid region-racist.

    my peeps is here blood.  last thing i need is another damn forum
  • No, it's just too specific and most people don't/won't ever collect sealed. I don't think this'd be good.
  • for the record
  • I don't think it's necessary but I'd probably use that sub-forum anyway, so I voted "indifferent".

    You mean like prototypes/homebrews/insert-subculture-specific-item-here
  • I voted yes. I'm pretty intrigued by the whole "sealed" world of video game collecting. If I was loaded, I would be a sealed collector. It would be cool to have designated area for it. If it does go through, can we make one of the rules everyone has to talk in a heavy British accent?

    Many people are into homebrews and everyone likes to see all the prototype stuff they used to make games and such. Sealed games though, is such a small group of people that care/try for it that it wouldn't make a good subcategory. Just my opinion, but I don't think it'd be worth the front page clutter. If we include a category for everything, next thing is the site will be like AtariAges forum index, heh.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there were maybe 10 "regulars" that posted in each of those categories.

    I love them, and I think they're great, but you would be incorrect to assume that "everyone likes to see" it. 

    I'm sure just as many people get a nostalgia boost looking at a sleek sealed copy of a game they remember opening on their birthday.
  • A Category Id like to see is a NA Fundraising one
  • Heavy British accents, top hats, monocles, and everyone must smoke a pipe.
  • I voted 'indifferent' but I didn't read what I was voting for.
  • I voted no.

    Don't think there would be enough of a following to make it on the main page. I am not a fan of sub-forums...but if they did happen, it could just roll in Collectors Corner. After all, that is what sealed games are for anyway...Collecting...
  • The last time we added a sub-forum was for Protoculture and it really hasn't seen much traffic. I think segregating the categories too much is a bad thing and results in a bunch of "ghost town" categories. I think it also confuses the user -- I like to have things simple.
  • this wouldnt be ghost town. it would be vegas

    We could always merge Protoculture and the Brewery section together since they are sort of related.

    Makes sense to me.
