Most can care less about the these sub forums. And you guys know it. You can do pretty much anything you want with the forums as long as we have "General Discussion" in it's past form. If you feel that you are making the forums better for majority of the forum goers, the last few days should have shown you that you are wrong. GD was the most visited for a reason.

Correct me if I'm wrong but K town is a subforum of a subforum of a subforum yes? Buried 3 layers deep that casuals have no access to as you MUST be logged in to even see it exists as it doesnt show up if not logged into the website. Why is that by the way? It seems to be the only subforum this applies to?

You say that like it's a bad thing. Anyway, this is a good step.

I see you have never dealt with /b/ going down.
I don't need /b/tards running around in my other forums.
They turn everything into a mess like Occupy Wall Street and those dirty smelly hippies.

yeah because there are a lot of people who are too lazy to think about where they should actually be posting stuff. so we could have a useless forum section that the developers can't get anything from because it is far too haphazard OR we could have an organized system where the developers can maybe, just maybe find the occasional useful tidbit of community feedback.

everyone complains that they don't listen to the community. this will make it easier for them to listen.

suggestions has become much more unsanitary since general was shut down. maybe we do need a good place to store the overflow of useless posts/posters. just allow people to make new threads in k-town and make it the new general forums section, seems to be a healthy fit.

You can make new threads in deep periphery which is in the same section as K-town: http://mwomercs.com/...deep-periphery/

it is the forum dumping ground for all of the useless threads that are just mindless insults or have nothing to do with anything on the MWO forums, but don't directly violate the code of conduct (my observations of it anyway).

Not voting as I don't care about any of the sub forums at all. Now on to find where I can vote for the return of general discussion ...

[AntharPrime]

Those poll questions are not based on the community feedback about the forum changes. I abstain.

[blinkin]

on a side note,

why did game balance disappear? it seemed to be a fairly productive section, even if it did seem to soak up most of the QQ threads.

edit: nvm, just found it again. it also moved to the general discussion section.

Crowd: bring gd back!
Mwo: did i hear more subforums? More subforums for everyone!

Why is this in "suggestions"? It belongs in the website forum. It took me forever to find it.

I vote we flatten the whole mess under the "general discussion" header except factions. The only forum that really matters is GD. I spend more time looking for things than reading as it is now. Its not even worth coming here.

HELL NO!!! ok before i was mostly annoyed at you people and your obsession with a general discussion area that is choked with random crap, but there is no frigging way i am going to put up with you sinking the actual useful sections of the forum without putting up a fight.

[LockeJaw]

Worthless poll until "Adding General Discussion" is the one and only question on it.

Edit: Abstained from voting. Calling this a democratic voting thread... is ***king laughable. DPRK comes to mind with this version of democracy.

too many subforums as it is. bring back general discussion and combine most of these useless subforums.

[Volume]

I haven't played in a while, or even looked at the forums in like over a month, so it's kinda funny that I come back a few days after general discussion was removed.

I read the reasoning here, but it still seems like a cop-out.

I mean, hypothetically, let's say someone wanted to ask what changed, since they know plenty of changes aren't documented in patch notes and they'd like to get up to speed with the progress made in the past couple months - what subforum is good for that? The only thing I could think of is "metagame" but it's really more about general state of the game, and general discussion was where something like that would go, not offtopic, since it's kind of on-topic.

[Damocles69]

where is the "return General Discussion" voting option?

[Sabazial]

I abstain from voting, you guys constantly claim to be listening to the opinion of the forum users, but STILL despite an outcry for the return of general discussion, seem hell bent on doing things your way. What's the point?

GD was the only section of the forum i chose to visit to get quick up to date info on everything MWO, now i have to wade through a quagmire of crap to even find topics and personally i don't have the time nor the inclination to do so.

Two things:

1, The lazy people you speak of are the majority of the player base.

2, The only time they listen is when there is an uproar. (we can always take a trip down memory lane starting in closed beta.)

Undo the obvious divide and conquer tactic you guys did with GD... thats my vote
