Proposal: Dividing the forum (or Strategy-Links-Thread)

[Targor]

Reading through the forums I couldn't help to realize once more how crowded this forum is. Alone the threads in which were posted today reach page 3 of the forum. The given forum structure seems very traditional for Paradox-Forums, but does it has to be? There are some great Strategy-related Threads in the forum, but you have to search through dozens of pages to find them. I think dividing the forum in a discussion and a strategy forum would be just great, because it's two very distinctive things one isn't usually looking for at the same time, I for my part are mostly looking for strategies but there're buried under all the discussion-Threads.
Or maybe someone has a collection of strategy-related Threads somewhere, I have saved some links somewhere, maybe we could collect usefull strategy-threads and get a sticky thread for it.

Just split off a "whining about coalitions" subforum, that should cut the traffic in half.

Agreed :laugh:

I would prefer a strategy section, but based on prior experience, there is preference for keeping strategy in General. Player adherence to a separate categorization would be poor and there would always be strategy posts in General and mixed threads developing in Strategy.

A Pro-AE&Coalition forum and an Anti-AE&Coalition forum

Whereas a 'Reasonable Arguments for Super-Coalitions' subforum would be completely empty.

Only if one is willfully ignorant to the points brought up. Might be good to have a dumping ground for unsupported positions while we're at it. That way I know where to go to poke fun at trash statements and where to go for discussion.

I agree, it'd be nice to have a sub forum just for strategy/tips.

A Pro-AE&Coalition forum and an Anti-AE&Coalition forum

It's cold war all over again!

Of course people have to bring completely off-topic piss onto an unrelated thread.

A strategies subforum, I think, would overlap somewhat with how certain styles of AARs are done. I don't think there'd be much traffic in such a subforum either. It would probably be more helpful or useful to have a stickied thread here on the main forum that compiles suggested strategies.
