The reason for having the three sections in the Console board is to provide a section purely for discussing console technology in depth and have other sections for general talk about consoles.
Still working on that but there will always be cases where the question of where a thread should be is undecided - for example, a thread might start off as being something general but end up working towards a tech discussion.Titanio said:Maybe because things are early, and all threads aren't yet transferred over, but it seems like there are threads in the main forum that should be under Console Technology, still.
http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25962I'm also wondering what exactly goes in the main forum now! Just PR stuff, industry talk..?
What precisely is so confusing about the Console sections? I would have thought it was all pretty clear - the way that the threads end up though is nothing to do with this.london-boy said:Personally, i'm SO confused with the whole thing it's not even funny... I mean in the end it's 3 forums all with the same threads ("X360 vs PS3 vs Rev vs DS vs PSP vs Pizza" or "pre-rendered or realtime??" or "XXXXX company is teh doomed!!"). Literally every thread degenerates into one of those 3 types of thread. Very confusing.
Noted but as I said at the beginning of this thread - you can't please all people, all of the time.typoEDR said:I'd rather the main forum be technology-focused and have a seperate Games/inane babble subforum.
I considered that first, but it doesn't make sense to structure it that way around - this is a more logical discussion (since discussion of "Console Technology" is a subset of console discussion in general).typoEDR said:I'd rather the main forum be technology-focused and have a seperate Games/inane babble subforum.
If that's the case, then maybe it's not so confusing after all (since you know what to expect anyway! ).london-boy said:Personally, i'm SO confused with the whole thing it's not even funny...

Did you mean "provoke"? In any case, it was a joke, John.John Reynolds said:You know, it would be great if you could stop invoking me unnecessarily like this.
