I use "watched threads" and then after that "new posts" to browse the site, much easier than browsing individual forums IMO. On that basis a link means nothing to me, however I support it in principle as I'm against the separation into PC and console games forums in general. For me, the more opinions and comments I can read on a game that interests me, the better, and I find it quite annoying to often have to track two threads for the same game, one which is active (console) and one near dead (PC), and yet be compelled to post in the dead thread where my post is unlikely to be seen by many people just because of the platform I play it on.
The reality is I post in the console thread anyway most of the time as I suspect most of the PC gamers do (who's numbers are much higher here than the relative activity of the two games forums would suggest). The mods seem not to mind a PC version centric post in a console game thread as long as it's not trying to start a vs war which seems like a pragmatic approach to me. I would be concerned though if that leniency where to ever be removed.
