suggestion: merge all "general" and "questions" subforums
in my opinion it would be a lot better and make the forum a bit less messier (or prevent it from getting messy) if these simply merged; thoughts?

Re: suggestion: merge all "general" and "questions" subforums
I'm the one who originally suggested they be separate, but I wouldn't be opposed to merging them. I just don't want people to suffer the issue of wondering "where do I post this?" whenever they have a random errant question about a game - and also it means that people who don't want to see these types of posts can just ignore them completely. That being said, I think there is a value in having these questions front and center, where more people can answer them, and I have no clue how many of them there will be.
My proposal would be to keep them merged unless/until the general subforum becomes overrun with greenhorn questions, in which case we can re-open the "Questions" subforum.

Re: suggestion: merge all "general" and "questions" subforums
I prefer them been separated for two reasons:
Less cluster and more order.
Having them all in one place could be more convenient but it will be make a total disorder to just know if they are asking a question, if they are making an statement, if they are giving an opinion, etc. Making everything just blend together and easy to get confuse and also having them separated makes it easier to search for something if you are trying to find something specific.

Re: suggestion: merge all "general" and "questions" subforums
I don't think it's confusing at all to combine them, but I do think the naming of the board is confusing. "Questions" can be a question to prompt discussion, like "what's your favourite monster?", and a question can also be "I can't beat this Yian Garuga, what am I doing wrong?". Maybe "Help and Strategy" would be a better name, as an example. Also, asking for help can be just as good of a discussion-starter as anything else. I don't actually expect a place like this to get flooded with beginners who are lost and confused and need help, so combining the two boards would probably be more beneficial than harmful. Perhaps a poll on it in a month's time to see what we'd all prefer would help?

I renamed that section from "Questions" to "Help & Support", I think it's more clear now.
