New section proposal

Well i think its a good idea, have its own section? who will do it apart from this section..

I like it it also gives people a chance to organise events a few days before

Sub section in gaming zone. And I would like to see a section where we can group people in to games. Just look at how many people downloaded Age of Empires 2 cause we wanted to have some fun.

yea FLawz, i seen everyone playing AOE2 and i started to play. and i cant find anyone to play it so this is a good reason

Yeah, and it applies for other platforms too. I mean, I'm looking for someone to play a game of shadowrun with o0

I am against the idea of adding a new section. Rather than adding a new section a simple thread can solve the problem. Just look at the amount of users that have replied to this thread. To make sure people notice the thread, I'll even sticky it.

Good idea moofin, as I said msn/irc will do, you don't need a new section for it.
A sticky in the gaming section would be perfect.

But it will be confusing as hell with multiple game requests in the same thread, and most wont get any attention.

/agree

Also, why are people treating a new section like the end of the world? 10 times more useless sections than this one have been created with less opposition.

A thread with multiple games being hosted, lots of people posting in the thread, probably gonna be some discussion about the host's settings, it'll be chaos.

Read the first page. Pieman highlighted a good problem with using MSN.

Exactly.

It won't be a chaos if you know how to organize it. Thread title can be used to prevent confusion among users. It'll also help you find all the post related with that game. Not only that but after each gaming sessions, moderators can delete the posts from the previous session.

I still don't see the why we should add a new section. You can simply post in Gaming Hotspot. Once the session is over, I'll simply lock them and move them to the dump.

using this thread for games will be terrible so much confusing.. We need a dedicated section

[edit]

can we advertise games like AOE2 in gaming hotspot etc??? or will we recieve an infraction..

just a new section will be just right

Well why don't we have a trial of the thread, and see how it goes, if there are a good number of succesful sessions and not many complaints, then thats fine.

Worked indeed, thanks again Cody! :wink:

Anytime mate. :P Always willing to help out.

I think that the sub-section in the gaming hotspot is a great idea. Well, that is, if you'll organize games where people with crappy PC's can participate too XD

Ye this idea would only be ftw, and if the mods cant handle the extra amount of moderating, get some more, or just dont do it. I say we should try it, if it works then alright, if not then whatever.

so can we advertise in the gaming hotspot section??

Advertise? No, this is not to get people to come and play on your hotel. Read the first few posts.

Make a permanent IRC page. Problem solved.

Canon i did not mean for my "hotel" i mean can i advertise for people to play a multiplayer game of AOE2 (age of empires) in the gaming hotspot?

God damn, did you just figure out thats what we're here to ask for? READ BEFORE YOU POST.

3. The people in your contact list have to actually want to play the game.
4. Not everyone has msn. Or is on it all the time.

I've made my point.

And point well made.

I vote for the section.

Count my vote in. It's much easier to organize games in a new section, and why not? There's loads of sections already anyway. The IRC channel is indeed dying, since everyone just lurks on the forums -> No gaming meetings anymore :/.

yes we need it i cant find anyone to play AOE lol
