The WoW Forum and replace it with a Minecraft Forum.

Let's be honest here, basically nobody plays WoW anymore because of that RealID lolfiasco. The last post in the WoW forum was 20 days ago. It's essentially a graveyard. It's time for it to be replaced with a superior forum about a superior game; Minecraft.

Will also accept a Minecraft Forum without removing the WoW Forum.

More epic than anything ever on WoW.

I agree with getting rid of the WoW forum, but having a whole forum for MineCraft is a little too much, I think.

Look at TF2 and MW2, probably both more popular here than MineCraft, but they seem to be doing fine with just one active topic. Pokemon HG/SS is also probably more popular with RVers than MineCraft, and it too is doing fine with just one topic.

The only topic ever on MineCraft had less than 50 posts and hasn't been active since April.

I think you should try sticking with a topic for now, and try to keep that up and popular like the TF2/MW2/Pokemon topics. A single popular topic looks better than a relatively inactive forum, which is what the MineCraft forum would turn out to be, IMO.

more people play games like tf2 than minecraft, if anything deserves its own forum its that, though seperating games into different forums is counter productive in my opinion, it makes the site seem less active.

Great! so the decision to get rid of the WoW forum is unanimous, so far. :)

the pvp forum, event forum, rv army forum and homework help are also quite inactive and could probably be merged with forums similar to them/general forums.

These. I'd also add Marketplace to that list. It's time to start trimming the hedges.

I believe there was a lengthy thread about removing/merging threads before and it came to that they're doing no harm and that they should be left alone/given a chance.

I'm all for trimming down the forums, but thats just what I recall.

At the very least, we could give Other Games a WoW subforum.

Pyro insists that Creative sucks so he won't host a server. I think he's cool with hosting a Survival Server though when it's released.

Yep.

Also screw a MineCraft forum. Let's change the entire board to MineCraft.

I'm all for removing the WoW forum. It's probably part of why we're only a silver fansite.

I would go a step further and start merging forums all together. A lot of the forums don't really need their own space. Questions could easy fit into general discussion, pictures and videos etc...

We should really do an overhaul and at least that way each section will be a lot more active instead of spreading it around.
