Other Games forum

An "other games" forum might work, but we would probably draw the line at having entire sections dedicated to individual non-Bioware IPs (i.e. Witcher). This is meant to be a Bioware forum first and foremost. I'll see what the other mods have to say, though.

I would personally prefer not to have other games discussed here, since this is a Bioware forum. However, if enough want them, I think an "other games" subforum is appropriate. If we were to have separate sections for other franchises, I think we risk losing our focus and no longer being the Bioware Social Network.

Edit: Off Topic is great, too. 

I'm fine either way with having them in the Lobby or in a separate section, though I don't see the need for a separate sections for each franchises.
I don't think it's wrong to discuss other games here. It didn't take something away from the Bioware games sections in the prime BSN.

I like having the threads in Off-Topic. I learned so much from the Skyrim thread at the old BSN, before they got rid of the Off-Topic section.

Leave the other games threads in the Lobby.

Can we have an Other Games subforum?

atm ,  Other Games discussions are in The Lobby and rather hard to find.

We don't quite need to follow the Bioware forums in their layout and it might encourage more threads on them if we had a forum section for non-bioware games. Currently off-topic is a bit constrained for this with lots of popular posts so having another section would make things easier for people to have multiple threads on each game. 

While I generally despise creating threads, I am going to do so twice. The horror...

Anyways, while there is a current thread asking for a separate gaming sub forum in off topic a wider section should at least be considered for a few areas. For example, if one were to create a thread on a specific game/movie/show said thread will currently be bogged down by all of the genreal off topic discussions currently dominating the forum. Of course, the problem is that while potentially reducing the clutter of Off Topic we would also create potentially dead sub forums (the VSN comes to mind ). Which leaves the question of what would qualify as a sub forum? 

A Politics sub forum could work. At the very least it could make the Wrong think thread a bit easier to follow since it does teND to jump from issue to beastiality to issue, but is it warranted? No idea! However, an off topic games section has a bit more potential, as would a movies/shows section. However both could be combined into a sort of "Off Topic Media" section (with the downside being that some people may confuse it with dealing with the news).

Questions, comments, complaints?

It's actually really great being able to chat about the new Deus Ex with ppl without having to have the hassle of joining a new forum. I'm all for a specific section as long as the home page doesn't get absurdly long.

Did a few different threads get merged into this one thread?

Yes, SofaJockey was cleaning up this subforum a bit and merged all the threads that were requesting an additional "Other Games" type of subforum.

Keep an eye out. We're planning to add one within the next few days and will transfer game threads to there.
