    The title says it all!
    Can we have a thread for announcements from developers about games and business and statistics and the like?
    Thanks.

            Oh wait a minute, I though you meant a subforum. Heh, my bad.

                Uh, why exactly do you want that? I honestly don't see any relevance.

                  I'll take a shot at it.

                  Do you mean that we should forum-wide announcements about major developments in video games (i.e. some big stories about certain game companies, etc.)?


                  It's a neat idea, but unless we change the entire focus of the forum to video games in general, the idea would be out of place.

                  Of course, if something relevant to Golden Sun comes up (GS3, the inclusion of a Golden Sun character in Super Smash Bros., Camelot's new RPG, etc.), then that's probably worth an announcement.

                    I mean just put it in the other games forum.
                    I.E. At the moment we have Console games and computer game sub-forums. But what about an announcements forum for big companys gone bankrupt and big stories like that..

                      But how often does such a big story come up? I mean, we wouldn't put game announcements in that forum, right?

                        I think a thread would probably be much more effective and easier. You wouldn't have a bunch of threads with 3 replies saying "Oh really?" "That sucks." "pwnt".

                          I'm going to be nice, hold in my need to call this a needless topic, and say this is a horrible idea. I didn't agree with subforums in the first place, and adding pointless ones for announcements that come once every two months is stupid.

                              Emphasize the "theory" there. :D

                              If it happened more than once every two months, then yes it would be a good idea. On the other hand, we could have a topic dedicated to the real system sales, ones dedicated to anouncements for specific consoles, and others for patches/upgrades to current games etc.
