You guys should try the 'Other Video Games' subforums.
Obviously they won't get as many subforums as UT3 until there's at least some activity going on in there.

Tried it already... just think its time for the site to have a major rethink even if it means it being down for a few days..

What do you want them to add then? Other than some subforums and that the 'ladders' direct to the UT3 ladders I don't really see what's so UT3 exclusive.

How about this: A section on the site where people could write up reviews for games (Anyone could write them, but obviously they'd have to be as unbiased as possible), and/or a section for tips/cheats/strategies for those games.

I don't see why we couldn't compress the UT3 section a bit and give CoD: MW2 it's own section (outside of "other video games"), though it might make the site less appealing to new members and everyone in general.  Sites that take longer to scroll through are generally not well liked.  However, I see this as a better alternative to making a whole new "sister" site.  This is iAMGaming, not iAM PlayingUt3.  Alternately, MAG (when it comes out) and CoD could get their own section (which they share) and any clans that join from those games (plus from UT3, like F.U.K.) get a clan base inside the general forum.

It either could be like General Form and below would be clan bases or a General form and a clan base forum.  Of course, this might seem a bit unfair, so maybe UT3's forums should all be merged to.  After all, I don't really see a point for PS3, 360, and PC forums, especially when the latter two aren't so active anymore.  The clans in the 360 Clan Base would be moved into the PS3 clan base forum.

Maybe something along the lines of the UT Forums...  They have the separate sections for Gears, UT3, UT2003/2004, UC2 and so on.  I still think the majority of people would be posting on the UT3 threads but it would make it more like a true multi-gaming site.

hopefully you can change the look , have sections for FPS , fighting, racing , rpgay, just have a moderator for each section, UT3 is only one game with a small community. either that or make a really fancy flash intro for the site

My idea is..

Step 1: Post a Thread in "General Video Games"

Step 2: If it gets enough support, make a forum for it in "Other Video Games."

Step 3 (which might of not been thought of before): If it garners extraordinary support and/ or the forum maintains a steady activity for one to two months, make a section for said game.

All we'd have to do then is define "enough support" and "extraordinary support."

how about a seperate forum to discuss shoes? me and drokes would be in heaven! Big smile

okay.. in all seriousness i like the forums just the way they are, but as more people are branching out into other games it makes sense to tailor the site to the members interests.

i like the review section idea, but not just for games, how about  books, albums and movies too? and if you want to take it further from the original gaming concept maybe even a debate section where were we can argue about important stuff (i.e should abortion be legal, the death penalty etc) rather than the usual UT3 bull****. it'd be nice to have debate on here about something meaningful and the one thing everyone on the site has in common is the fact they love a good argument!

Silver J-17 those sound like good ideas.  But come to think of it, are there really enough people that visit this site to make it worth changing everything?  How many people who are members of this site came initially only because of UT3....I would say everyone.  The only way you are ever going to get people who play other games (and who know nothing of UT3) is to support tournaments, like Gamebattles does, otherwise where is the incentive to leave an active site like Gamebattles to come to a site like this one to talk about their game?

Possible solution: Make a debate sub-forum to Fists of Fury.  Also, I'd like to see Fists of Fury taken out of the UT3 area, since could also be a place for feuding in other games and general discussion.  Anyways, I'd love to debate about what I support and not support.

Have a button that makes the particular gameforums pop up or in.

I'm pretty sure it will become a lot more than 3 threads if Danjel has any say in it.. and there is no new site made for CoD and MAG.  I can imagine CoD and MAG fans potentially being invited over here and so on (in a similar fashion to how I was invited/ told to join here via RTO)  After all, I think F.U.K. was talking about recruiting people on CoD.  We could easily just start with their new recruits joining.  If they join and find the site appealing, then they might tell others and the others will tell more and.. with more and more CoD/ MAG people, there will surely be more just than 3 threads.

There's two other reason not to make another site.  I honestly think it is time to pull back some of the UT3 support and shift to focus more to other games.  After being away for a month or two, I can tell that CoD (and other games) has clearly taken a good bite/ chunk out of UT3's community (ie the servers).  Modern Warfare 2 did something Killzone 2 couldn't really do, it accelerated the UT3 community's decline.  I don't recall Killzone 2 doing even remotely as much damage.  I feel that MAG is only going to add on to the accelerated decline.

basically we're all talking about layout issues which compared to everything else is easy for woppy to do.  Every game should have it's own dedicated section but of course if I had my way I'd go even further.  I'd make it so that every game section had a subscription/permissioning feature enabled so that for instance, those of us that play UT3 could only talk to those that play UT3 and everyone else can f*** off.  Think of it, right off the bat I'd ensure people like Drok don't have access to the UT3 thread so I don't have to hear his mouth about how much UT3 sucks or how dead it is.  Same thing for the likes of all the other defectors who can't seem to move the f*** on and leave us the f*** alone.  I don't go into the the thread of other games and talk incessantly about how much they aren't like UT3 or how much they suck.  so I don't see why those of us who are devoted and faithful players to this 'dead' game have to keep listening to it.  If only those that have access to the UT3 thread can talk about UT3 in that thread then that would solve many of the problems.

Trolling (such as going into UT3 threads with the intention of saying it sucks or how much better another game is) is actually a good reason on most moderated forums for banning people. I don't say UT3 sucks though, it's just that whenever I see someone state that UT3 isn't dead - I say it is.
Games have been removed from ladder sites when the community was x times as large as this one, just because those sections are considered dead and redundant. Looking at the ladders I can't blame them.

so f***ing what?  who cares what anyone else is doing? There's a select group of people that enjoy this dead game with its dead community.  Why don't you comment on Halo 1 or Wolfenstein or some ****?  if you see this lame a** small group of people enjoy it why not leave it the f*** alone already?  nobody's holding a gun to your head to play it much less comment on it.  what's the point?  you can't possibly be that bored.

I don't hate UT3.  I agree with Danjel (to an extent) and would just like to see an increased emphasis on other games and not just via Other Games.  I explained it better in my PM to WOPR.  I think there's various UT3 forums that we could do without. (especially the two joke(?) forums and probably Thread of the Month to, since we never have and most likely never will use it)  My opinion is less emphasis on UT3, more on other games.  I still like to play UT3 every now and then though.  I'm more into Single Player games atm. (see LoZ: Ocarina of Time/ Majora's Mask and Kingdom Hearts 1/ Chain of Memories)  Once I finish OoT/ MM and Re: CoM, I'm going to venture further into the new Ratchet I haven't played all too much of yet.

I'm pretty sure there's no emphasize on the other games because it doesn't take 5 subforums to contain all 3 threads for a certain game. An increase of activity may change that.

UT3 is dead... The game is great, sometimes outstanding but its so dead its unbelievable.

My whole reference (which several of you have totally missed) was that if WOPR wanted to do something fun and that 'he' not you Drokun or Potorikan then it 'might' be a possibility to work on another site that could give him better returns (as he is out of work, this makes sense to me).

I wasn't looking for a ut3 v mw2 debate, quite honestly I don't need to debate the 100 man community to the 300,000 online at anytime community.

Anyway WOPR hope you read this and try to pick out the positive action points in here. Hope it helps.

again this is mostly a layout issue as that's what would give the most change with the least amount of effort and money and also the least amount of b****ing and whining from everyone else.
