"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

By number of people in the game, I mean should parties of two be allowed to be made and then combined into larger parties for other games... things like that, which would allow clans with fewer members to still play.
Yeah. I know. Don't worry.
I understand what you mean, that the numbers would be small is very credible, but when you combine the four or 5 clanmatch ones, with the ones for H2H, RHC, Team Swat, Team Carnage, Etc. they all add up to a functioning sub forum.
Or simply the one Optimatch forum. I honestly don't think there would be so many ideas or debates that 21 threads would be taken up by those dedicated threads. I also don't think that one very serious idea thread for Clanmatch would be as filled with replies as you are making it out to be. I tried searching again, thinking that perhaps my problem was that I was searching for ideas in the chocolate outer layer of the thread, when I really should have been looking in the nougat center. So I tried again, and found nothing, save for one member saying over and over again "Bring it back with Major and Minor." All that over another 7 or 8 pages. The rest was either "Bring it back," "It doesn't matter," some sort of debate about why it was removed, some sort of petty argument between people holding the two opposing views, or some other sort of nonsense. I'd guess that all took up about 97% of the pages, and I don't think the rest of the thread was much different. Take away repeated ideas, and you basically have 1% of the members actually discussing ideas, and thus 1% who would need that thread.
Then of course, you have other members talking about the other playlists, and I would imagine it would be easy to make one dedicated serious thread to those as well. Overall, you could take up all of the discussion with 8-10 threads. That leaves 11 more threads that are free for general discussion. Couple that with the fact that there seem to quite a few people who still either break the rules or don't post threads that are actually discussion for playlists or gametypes, wouldn't the Optimatch forum be able to handle all of that easily without a sub-forum?
