That would be a fair point - IF there was someplace where such threads were able to exist already. With the history forum, there were threads in the GDF. For Warhammer/gaming, there is simply nowhere they can be posted, which is the point of people asking for a forum for it.

I' m of the opinion that the creation of new forums should be based on a reasonable amount of already existing threads instead of on support.48 members voted in favour of the History Forum. However, those 48 members who would actively participate in the forum seem to have vanished in thin air.
The History forum would get way more replies if it was somewhere accesible, like a subforum of the GDF.

There could be found a way around it without immediately proceeding to creating a new forum.People who are truly interested in history will find their way to the forum.
Wouldn't know how, but suggest.
Yeah, but people who would participate in historic discussion if it was under there nose and could contribute a lot, won't. Your point? If you hide the forum it won't get major traffic.

Yeah, forgot about D&D, could easily include that seeing how popular it is.

Yeah but, what harm would it do anyway, even if it was made and died in a week, just remove it...before I made this thread, I only knew a few people who played, then by chance found out Bardock played, and some others...its not something you would know how popular it would get until its done.srug
Originally posted by Bardock42lol that doesn't explain the many people that voted for it and posted like twice then never again showed up in it. I am sure they know where it is. Oh and come on now, how lazy are people =O. Unless you assume people only post in the GDF and Off topic forum so they would have to scroll down to find it.

Originally posted by LanaWell this isn't big enough to have it's oown forum so it would be better to be a sub forum. What better place to put a sub forum of different types of games than a video game forum. Of course Raz could give it it's own forum and watch it die evil:
If it's a subforum of the VG forum it would by definition NOT be seperate from the VG forum, and it doesn't make sense to put something that's not video game-related as a subforum of the VG forum.And I think you'd be surprised how many people are on here that would likely be interested in such a forum if it existed. I don't play Warhammer or something but I DO like gaming quite a lot (and would be much happier if any of my friends did as well), and I'd be willing to bet there's a lot of other people on here that may not see this thread due to never visiting N&Q that would be interested in such a forum.

It is boring as hell there. Shit threads and shit people hanging out. Of course it won't become interesting if just History nerds and people that want to see like them post in it. I had a decent debate. But (who would have thought) with people who frequent the GDF and subforums. It basically belongs there anyways. That's where History Threads would have gone before.

I voted "Nay"... Doesn't really interest me in the slightest.
Voted yay, although I'm not a Warhammer fan. I think there are enough people interested to warrant such a subforum. It doesn't capture my interest in the way that other forums do but I don't think that's a valid reason to vote against.

Some might claim that is not a valid reason to vote for it though.
