Do we need a General Gaming "sub" folder?

[fizzlephox]

On the main page for the forums there is a "General Forums" listing. Under this listing it has a Newbie Central, General Off-Topic Chat, Hardware Software & Troubleshooting, and Art and Design, forum areas.

If you could find a specialized area like Newbie Central, Hardware Software & Troubleshooting, and an Art and Design listed there, you would also expect to find a General Gaming Area there, not in a sub-folder on the general off-topic chat. If anything PC games are more on-topic in relation to Half-Life 2 than a Newbie central.

This sub-folder thing is nice, but I think that a gaming forum should be on the main page not placed as a sub category. Many people already forget to talk about games in there anyway, they just use the general off-topic chat. I could see the Newbie Central placed in a sub-folder, or some of the other topics on the front page, but it seems to me like this general gaming subfolder was placed there simply to try out this new feature.

No, not really

But so what?

Well, I guess your opinion is that we don't need one. I'm just asking for peoples' opinions, not that anything be changed. I can't decide what to do and this is a great forum anyways...but if I don't get my way I'll start stalking the moderator's families and :sniper: :x :x! of course I'm j/k about the stalking... or am I...

i prefered it when it was all a big mess in off-topic so i didn't hafta search around so much. This way i might end up missing some game news by forgetting to check the sub forum.
