I know this is a Message board specifically for the nes, but couldnt we have a forum layout that incorporates more aspects of gaming such as: Demo of Forums: Systems: NES SNES N64 Gamecube Ps Ps2 XBox Dreamcast Sega Genesis Ect. Game Specific Sonic Mario Zelda ect. Genre Specific Actrion RPG Shooter Horror ect. Other: Off topic ect. I think this could really broaden conversation if systems were given their own individual forums (Besides lesser known systems that can be grouped together into an "Other Systems" category. This could really give the boards a more professional touch. What do you guys think?

I don't think if we were to add more systems that we should stray from Nintendo... if we add other systems and they become the hot area... well that's hardly fitting for a website called The NES Files, now is it?

True, but I'm just trying to make the place more inclusive to all gamers. That way we can get many different gamers on the boards other than just NES veterans.

I'm not sure. When people do searches on Google for the newer systems, and whatnot, I'm sure that the links to the forums for those would pop-up. I do like the layout, though. I'm just not sure if it's suitable or not. Maybe for the Nintendo systems, and keep the others under modern systems? I don't know.

I agree. I would be more than willing to setup another forum seperate from The NES Files(http://forums.xxxxxxx.com) for other systems, but I can't drive the amount of traffic to those sites as I can The NES File's forums... :( -- Derek

I say we should keep this one NES centralised until it develops a lot more. it's been growing steadily and constantly all month. Maybe when the forums and site here have developed much more, THEN focus elsewhere. I think if we load too much up on Derek it'll be a lot of work.

It's really not a lot of work to setup numerous forums-- it's just a question of strategic direction. I believe if we make it too general, we'll dillute the NES appeal, which is the core audience that I'm driving to the forums now... I'm thinking I'll add the games we've been mentioning. I like the idea of an RPG forum-- I thought the same thing. I dunno how much chatter there'd be for each genre, though... We can always add the other genres later, if the idea catches on and there seems to be a demand. Thanks. -- Derek -- Derek
