Horizon Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Is there any chance of putting the different game's sections together. I.E. all the TEW sections next to each other? Just think it'd be so much easier to navigate, than having to scroll up & down all the time, trying to remember where the sections are. Cheers.

baron Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 been asked before but i think they are standing by there current system even thought its really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XellenceOfXecution Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I don't think it THAT annoying, but I do tend to agree with the original suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 One of the main goals of GreyDog is try and get fans of one title to check out others. This setup puts all the dynasties in one area, suggestion threads in another and so forth. Our hope is that people, while looking for a TEW dynasty, may decide to check out one on WreSpi or TPB or vice versa. Plus, it's easier having one area devoted to support when we do our check throughs. Hope that explains the method behind our madness ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta tell you that read this and actually chuckled out loud. Are you KIDDING me???? You think that I'm going to click on the wrestling or boxing or whatever (heck, I don't even remember what the other games are any more) forums because they're close to BBCF??? ROFLMBAO!!! The forum order is annoying as all get out, and the reason why I've had to create three bookmarks directly into forums (BBGD, BBS, and GDSGD) rather than navigating through all of the clutter. There is now LESS chance that I'll see any of the other forums, because I've ended up going directly into forums rather than to a general outline. If the one or two games I'm interested in had all of their forums near one another, there'd be more of a chance that I'd go into the forums in general, where I could move seamlessly between BBGD and BBS without scrolling all the way down like I used to have to do. At OOTP, for example, I use the [url="http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/index.php"][color=Blue]main board index[/color][/url] and therefore end up checking out what is going on with ITP every now and then. Because of the way this forum is, I don't even check out TPB (which I own) or the college b-ball game, which interests me, but I haven't gotten around to direct-linking into those forums.

baron Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 i think its a good idea in theory and i could see why you would use the current set up but i think generally most people would like it 'sections'. But i know id only click on some of the other games forums by mistake(no disrepect to the games im sure they are good games but i just aint intrested in them) then again i suppose if it gets one new fan and buyer of another game its worth it but i think most people would prefer sections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamrobertk Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 One of the main reasons we prefer the old TEW forums is because the layout is a lot better and easier to navigate. Most of the people on this board are just looking at their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hanson Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I agree with SkyDog too. I can understand putting all of the Tech Support forums in one section. But mixing together games isn't going to encourage people to look at games they don't have any interest in. I don't buy sim games because they are sim games. I buy them because I'm interested in what is being simulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoWar Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 these forums are different ..... that said , I don't mind them at all ..... I don't look at "mods" much, dynasties I enjoy reading if I am on line for long periods of time... so it does not bother me that these are located at different spots ... I am use to the others -- but this isn't annoying IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvarez16 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 i think the order is fine, because all the games are in 1 section, all the dynasties in 1 and all the mods in 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Cowboy Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I appreciate having different looks to the forums as they do break the template from other sim sites. However judging from the above responses and common sense I'm not so sure that it helps the overall core community - such as a comingling would in theory not only help sales but help prevent the site's basketball fans and wrestling fans from "going to war" in the dog pound or whatever unanticipated consequences a forum might bring. That said - these are the Grey Dog forums, not the community forums, so I like everyone else are just along for the ride! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
