When Bungie announces its new IP would you prefer the one forum format or have multiple sub-forums?

For those wondering about sub-forums here's an example.

The reason I'm asking is because the one forum format seems disorganized compared to multiple sub-forums.

One forum. Please, God.

I agree, when the forums are split up, it is discouraging activity. When you click into one section you are strictly limiting yourself to a very small and niche amount of posts. You are also most likely missing out on many other posts that you probably, due to the fact that you are on that games forum anyway, personally would enjoy to read and respond to.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Disorganized? I find the way Bungie has handled their game forums in the past to be quite the opposite. I find it much cleaner looking.

So in short that my answer is... no.

I'd prefer 1 forum, lots of sub forums would be unnecessary.

I agree, Subforums ultimately distill communities. I'd rather have a melting pot of discussion.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I wouldn't mind one or two subforums. As long as it encourages discussion and doesn't limit it.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

There are many things I like about Epic forums is all the features but the sub forums can be annoying and many threads get unnoticed if you are not in the "cool forum".

We don't need subforums. It would only make creating topics and checking the forums harder.

Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.

The Joyeuse IP Formula

I don't want a forum for each specific facet of the game. I liked having the a general forum for each installment of the franchise, then a multiplayer and optimatch for the latest installment.

There needs to be a balance for using multiple forums for crowd control. If we chop up the game into a ton of different forums, it gets confusing and bogged down with confusion on where to put threads. We already have enough problems with people putting threads in the wrong spot with the smaller number of forums we have already.

I can understand perhaps a seperate subforum for if Bungie wants all the feedback about a specific area of the game in one place (See: Optimatch Forum), but other than that I do prefer it to be lumped into one huge forum.

That seems kind of unnecessary. One forum would be perfect.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

There should at least be a bugs sub-forum.

Key

Sub Forums. But not that many.

One for Multiplayer.
One for story.
One for game in general.

3 sub forums.

How about a single devoted thread? That seemed to work just fine.
