Since the last one got nowhere

How about this, we leave the CC reshuffle behind and get behind one thing in principle.

That the Circus Maximus should move outside and be expanded.

1. A general games section

2. Dedicated forums

The rational behind moving the general games out of the forum is to stimulate conversation on other games and let people know we aren't simply dedicated to total war anymore.

The other alternative is to leave CM where it is and create seperate forums for say:

1. EU3

2. Other possibilities like STALKER are being raised.

I supported the idea last time and I support it again.

Which one? A complete move for CM or is it the option of creating the secondary game forums.

**Erich von Manstein** · April 02, 2007, 06:16 PM

The latter, although I would support moving any secondary game forums.

I'd leave the CM where it is and use it as a currently is - as a general gaming discussion forum.

Then, we separately should create forums for specific games (EU3 and STALKER seem good candidates - maybe Oblivion for its next release) and have discussion and modding forums under them.

That way we can easily see which games we provide direct support for but still have a general area for other games.

In the future, if it worked, I could see TW being a top-level forum (with all the current Eras & M2TW forums underneath) and other big game forums sharing space at that top level.

Move the CM out into a new section, like so:

TW Stuff
'Gaming Community'
- Circus Maximus
- Paradox Forum etc.
CC

This gives them more exposure in my opinion and keeps all the 'other games' in the same place.

This is what I have supported and continue to do so.

I certainly agree with making a general gamming section with dedicated game forums - the games may not deserve it at the moment but it creating a new section and encouraging its growth will be pay back the time and effort once its sucessful.

As imb and several other people have stated the TW series will not last for ever and it is a good idea for the site to become less dependant on it.

I would also like to use the busness argument that another section would take only a limited effort to setup and encourage whilst it would attract a huge number of citizens and members over time - we have huge numbers of citizens associated with the TW section and a huge number of Citizens associated with the CC section - imagine the improvement to the comunity if there were citizens assocaited with CM section.

Move the CM out into a new section, like so:

* TW Stuff
* 'Gaming Community'
o Circus Maximus
o Paradox Forum etc.
* CC

This gives them more exposure in my opinion and keeps all the 'other games' in the same place.

I support this proposition. I could even see the dedicated forums expanded to include their own modding subforums, general discussion, and vice versa.
