GameBanshee Forums

I knoiw there's already been a thread about this, but i don't know how it ended, so i'm asking BuckSatan: PLEASE make a Fallout (2) forum. It's as good a Bioware/Black Isle RPG as the rest on this site and it rocks. (gotta love that game: you can shoot ppl in the nuts. (er..."groin") With a shotgun. From a metre away. And it isn't even a shooter!) If you will i'll sell my soul to you. (No, i don't really think you are Satan, but who knows?)

Do you think Fallout 2 should take precedence over Morrowind, Dungeon Siege, MM 9, IWD 2, etc?

There's already a IWD 2 Forum, isn't there?, about MM9: there aren't any MM6 thru 8 forums either...about the other games: yes, i think it should.

As posted by Buck last time:

I usually take one game at a time, striving to give the most comprehensive information on the web as the games are released. If there is a "lull" where none of our games will be released for quite some time, I *may* add older games (I did this for Vampire: TM), but not likely.

Older games - escpially Fallout questions can be asked in the vaiouse other forums, seeing as almost all of us have played these games

Yes, but that would screw up the forum. (pardon my french)

Keep the Fallout stuff to SYM then

I receive a lot of requests for additional forums, but unless they are going to receive a fair amount of traffic and usage, I don't add them. Even though these forums are MySQL-driven, we still have to keep our server overhead to a minimum. Adding forums that may only get 10-20 posts in them over a 6 month period is only going to hurt the performance of the other high traffic forums.

Would a forum for the Fallout series get some use? Maybe initially, but for how long? The games are quite old now and there probably won't be many people buying/playing them for the first time anymore. For the most part, it's really up to all of you. If a majority of you want a Fallout forum, I'll add one.

What about a more general forum for older RPG games, like "Other RPGs" or "Older RPGs". I believe too many of us go back to play an older game every once in a while.

Why not just the RPG forum?

It is there for a reason.

Good idea!

I agree - if you have a question about a RPG, and there isn't a specific forum for that game, why not use the RPG-forum?

No need to make a new one for general "old" RPG games.

Umm...because noone ever uses that forum either? I'm looking at it, and on the first page there are threads with last posts that date back to september. If there was an "older RPGs" forum, people with an interest in one game would stick around and maybe answer some questions from another game they remember playing - but perhaps even that forum wouldn't get too much use...

Instead of having two "low-usage" forums (RPG and Old RPG) - wouldn't it just be better to use the RPG for "old" RPGs?

The only problem is getting people to use those forums.

Well the problem wouldn't be less if we got another "low-usage" forum

I still would like there to be a Fallout forum. My suggestion: Get rid of Vampire: Redemption. A lot more people are playing the Fallout games than that one. Fallout has a lot more reason to be on GB than that one. Also, there will be a Fallout 3 in the future, supposedly, I hope, I pray...
