Right now there is one thread on the main page, but evreryone gets a hold of the demo on Wednesday and Thursday and the insanity will begin.
I have played the game and the replay on it is going to be crazy. I already see me investing far to many hours into it.
I think the threads may get crazy and merging them makes looking for what you want impossible as far as a fantasy league, gameplay, gamer tags, and everything else.
Yeah I can see the forums getting over run with threads about the game in the coming weeks. Unless you have a stickied thread about the game, but I doubt a single thread would be organised enough for all the inevitable posts about tactics, calling each other out etc
I suspect it's something we'll have to judge when it actually happens. A subforum seems like a pretty extreme measure, the admins like to only do that if something is going to get a lot of traffic. I'm skeptical that a videogame would need another subforum that would support dozens or hundreds of threads, but it is a good suggestion to keep in mind if it gets out of control at some point.

Yeah, but its also something you cant merge because of the thread being far to clogged.
There may not be a ton of threads, but even 6 or 8 that commently get responses could take up a lot of a page.
It probably though is a wait and see thing, but also something to keep in mind moving forward.
I just realized that in addition to the two threads in the General forum, there was one the OT, I think the demand will be there, but I realize it's a slippery slope

Wow, I stand corrected. I just popped into the gaming subforum expecting to see a handful of threads and a few posts. That joint is
hopping
. I must be missing out on something, not being a gamer.
With the game out in a couple of days, a lot of people are excited about it. I guess the true test will be whether the forum is still needed 6 weeks from now. I'm sure a lot of people will complete it, or get bored of it. It'll just depend how well these online leagues take off.
