    This system has been out for over a year and the only forum where it can be discussed is the Geeral forum. Recently another member posted a game specific quesion related to a 360 game and it was closed... because it was in the wrong forum. Well, where does one go on this site to talk about games?

    On top of that the PS2 has 6 forums, the Xbox has 6 Forums. I am just not sure what benefit there is to locking a thread that asked a specific question related to a game from that consle in the only place that console is discussed.

    Yet, at the same time in the PS3 forum there is a Resident Evil (game) thread that is 5 pages long and still open.

    I am not trying to stir up trouble at all. Just looking for a place to talk about 360 games because I am getting one in a couple of days and I know I will want to talk about them.

    Thanks for te consideration.

    i'm sure the Admins are looking into changing the console forums, what with the new consoles now hitting the market..

    Also, any game discussion threads are usually only closed if multiposts or if they become pointless or turn into flamefests; you guys are welcome to start threads, we only close stuff for a reason :)

    edit- i've also commented here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/436930/2648034

    If that was the case I don't think I would have said anything. But this particular thread was neither of those things. *shrugs*

    I'm not suggesting we change the wheel here... I am just asking for really only one new forum Xbox 360 Games and most likely PS3 Games would be helpful to.

    Come on Creaky pull your weight, pull some strings, make it happen!

    :)

    Please, please, please consider this.

    The only 360 forum is being over run by How do I flash, how do I burn games etc.

    We can't have any discussion on games because it gets lost among all the flash/burn threads.

    I implore the powers that be to add just one 360 games forum.

    Thanks.

    Agreed..instead of all the xbox forums we could have just 3.. xbox mods, xbox games, and xbox repair, ..and turn the rest over to 360. That should be easy because 99.9999% of the xbox posts have already been answered 100,000 times over, there really isn't anything to say that's new. It would make life easier for everyone.
    I have a few free days coming up which I can use to compress the xbox faults and modding guides into a few links pages instead. Then all the other pointless threads and sections can be closed. Everybody knows my skill level with the xbox..if you want that doing give me a shout.

    Splendid.. I'll put some serious hours in and pm you a few pages of itemised links creaky. Then you or I can post them.
    I weilded an axe at llamma back in july that cut out 700Mb of repetitive posts and threads from the database.

    @janrocks,

    Thanks so much for your work on this. I don't know how many others will, but I will appreciate it a lot!
