Hi there,
InAmb3rClad here. I am having troubles finding people into the same kind of Halo 3 gaming that I am (Customs, Big Team Battle, etc.). So I went to go post in the Classifieds forum to try and find some people to add. During this process I noticed a few things that I sort of have an issue with.
I looked in the Classifieds forum and almost every thread created there had zero replies. I feel that this is because the forum doesn't get enough promotion. It's grouped into the "Other forums" category on the drop down "Community" menu. Thus, I think it's safe to say that many people overlook the forum. If it were more promoted, then I think it would greatly help people looking to find people that like playing the same way.
Some tips to improve the classifieds forum:
1) Rename it. The name "classifieds" is very drab and may prevent people from clicking through to the forum. I'm not very creative so I can't think of any good names, but I'm sure others could do so.
2) Put it on the drop down community menu. This will help it to get more attention and activity.
3) Create "official" threads in the forum for certain types of gaming requests. This could include a thread for customs gamers, a thread for big team battle gamers, a thread for social gamers, a thread for clan invites, and a thread for serious pro-like gamers. Creating "official" threads for each of these categories could minimize the clutter and encourage more activity and success in the forum.
That's about it. I hope you all (especially the forum ninjas) will listen to my suggestions and don't flame. A game with such a large community of players could use more easy tools to find friends.
Also, as a sort of side note, a custom games search feature would be very nice, high five.
Thanks for reading.
