Sounds good. I suggest you make it clear that RPG theads go in the subforum, oh and create a pretty clear definition of RPG on GFF.

So I think we'll end up doing something like this.

Video Gaming with following tags:
360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PC, DS, PSP, Arcade, Multiplatform, classic, general gaming

I included PS2 since he still has a decent flow of games coming out on it. The original xbox and the gamecube are pretty much dead now and could be considered classic. We'll have a Online gaming subforum for planning meets, sharing friends codes, xbox live stuff, MMORPG meets, etc. We'll also give the RPG section its own subforum due to popular demand.

What do you guys think?

(we could include xbox, gba, and gamecube tags too if you want)
I think this sounds good. The PC forum was so dead that I think it will help to include PC threads in with the console threads. I think adding genre tags is a bit much - I know that for myself I pretty much know the genre of the games being discussed before I click on the thread but maybe that's just me spending too much time on the 'net researching games.

This sounds excellent. I'm all ready for our new frontier of tags!

Sounds like a good enough layout, although rather than a generic "multiplatform" moniker, maybe be able to set multiple tags for each system the game is coming out for. It would make filtering easier, so that if you want to see all the upcoming games for a specific system, you don't miss any by unchecking multiplatform which may include games coming out for that system. Otherwise it seems like there'd be a pretty large amount of games with the multiplatform tag, and it would also be somewhat confusing when a game goes multiplatform later on and the tag would need to be changed.

How about cool little bouncy console icons instead of the ugly text tags?

Because the text tags on SB were quite uglimous.

or non-bouncy ones.

No separation of any kind required. If you have a brain, you will simply combine them all into one Gaming Forum.
huh?

I kind of liked having each section separated. Specifically the Nintendo section. I don't mean for this to come off as an attack against people who post in the N section, but it is no secret that some of the N fanboys have, in the past, behaved very zealously about N, and have had a history of getting very upset whenever someone made a post that was not glowing in praise of N. This is why I basically avoid the N section. While it is simple to say to just avoid the threads that are related to N in the big, new combined gaming forum, not everyone would be able to adhere to a self imposed avoidance policy.

And a point of fact is that in the past, the N forum was moderated differently than the other gaming forums, in such a way that the zealous N fanboys were more or less protected. I'm sorry, but N fanboys clash pretty violently even with people who are console neutral.

I propose creating an N subforum. If you want to, just say that because N's goal is to create new and innovative ways of gaming, they should be held separate from more "traditional" forms of gaming.

I'm up for tags as long as (I've only stated this like 5 times already but here I go again) the ability to click the tags to sort them is implemented. :O

Wow, it's amazing how much shorter the root of the forum looks with all of the game threads condensed into a single sub-forum. I think it looks nice, I'll probably see quite a few threads I would've missed otherwise this way. And maybe I'm just missing something, but is there/will there be a way to filter multiple tags at once instead of being limited to either seeing all the tags or only seeing one?
wot?

Is there any way to set an auto-filter for stuff like "everything except for Nintendo and Microsoft"?

I agree with RR, we need fanboy buttons.
