Game Console Posts Under Mac Gaming?

Seeing as the description of the Forum says "mac and console games"

i don't know where else this thread is going

 

eh the forum name is called "Games"

That includes both doesn't it, and if you need a better description you read the forum description

 

I really don't think it matters that much, so just don't worry about it. People who are interested in games will generally have both some kind of PC/Mac and a console of some kind so it makes sense to keep all of the "gamers" in one section.

 

I think that the forums are arranged very well. If you have succinct forum names for every little thing, pretty soon you forums become too numerous in number...

 

I think you're worried about the wrong things. The games forum is for anything game-related, even Mac (it's not MAC--that's a networking acronym) games, but console games threads should be posted in the games forum.

Use the report icon to let us know that there is a problem with a thread in the wrong place.

 

What happens in 6 months when the forum gets over-run with PS3 threads? What about 2 years from now? 4 years?

This is just a blip. There's no need to yet create another sub-forum.

 

Lacero you've hit the nail in the head, this is a seasonal event, as such, it would be unwise to create a whole new sub-forum for it, besides, people will keep posting about the xbox, ps3, revolution in the gaming forums.

On the other hand, electronboy has a point, the gaming section shouldn't be called Mac gaming, but gaming or games instead.

I for one, would of course love to see more mac-related stuff, would it be feasible to have some content linked from the more important mac-gaming sites, similar to the Mac Bytes column on the left of the main macrumors page?

My two cents...

 

I agree, although I don't think it took 13+ posts to discuss this. However, I have often thought that those X-box, etc posts might not belong there since it does say Mac Gaming, but not that I know differently I will post my PS2 and PS3 comments, etc.

thanks for the heads up!

 

Its one of my favourite threads, but i agree its name should be changed to "Gaming" as it would fit its content better....

I finally understand this now . I had been confused for a while as everywhere I looked there was no reference to 'Mac Gaming' just simply 'Games'

However, what electronboy is referring to is the front page for the site (http://www.macrumors.com). I tend to bypass this and go straight to the forums front page (http://forums.macrumors.com/), which is what I would guess a lot of members do. There is a slight inconsistency between the two, but it in the forums (where it really matters ) all the references are simply to games.

Sorry for spelling this out if everyone got it first time, but it confused the hell out of me for a long time.
