(1) A section just for our host's videos  Smiley

(2) A section for announcements for new games INCLUDING Kickstarter games.

(3) A section to post game videos (anything to keep from having to go to YT all the time).

(4) A section for people looking to swap/sell games.

(5) A section for people looking to find players for F2F, Vassal, etc.

(6) An upcoming conventions section.

Mmm...most of the features are better served by BGG.
As an example, I see no reason to move my vids here.


General Product Announcement Threads could be stickied in the relevant sections though.
If someone starts such, that will happen I guess.

I thought it would be nice just to have your videos start appearing here if it's not to much trouble to imbed.

And honestly, I think you have a hit on your hands here and as for myself I would just as soon never go back into the BGG forums again. If it wasn't for the files I would have closed out there a long time ago...that and with no G+ account it was the only way to talk to you and some of the other guys from YT.

Anyway, just thoughts...you want 100 people...more sections means more people...

Again, thanks for starting this up. Let the 'wyrd' begin Smiley

The biggest problem with my vids is organizing the fucers.

There's no structure as good as the Geeklist for 'em. So, even if I
imported them all, it would still be easier for people to access them
from BGG.

Opening discussions on them here though - hell, that's free game. And anyone
can post 'em (here or anywhere).

That's what I was thinking...just a category where a thread can be started for each series and commenting can happen right there with the videos...still trying to figure out how to embed YT here (is it the insert flash button?)...I know these forums...just been a long time...

And then one for everybody else (hell, I might start posting vids again)...sorry if I seem way open about this man, but after all the restrictions at BGG this is the fresh air of freedom Smiley

BTW - Looks like you helped move every copy of Guelphs & Ghibellines at NKG...last copy sold 2 days ago...

I had it earlier with just the link. Peter used the URL button and somehow got it.

Fuck all if any of it works for me.

It's probably more work for Enrico, but I've always advocated "less is more." Keep communities together, and branch off when needed. You'd hate to over-organize and add sections that remain depressingly empty. We'll know the time is right for, say, VASSAL requests section when the requests start adding up in other forums.

Hey, ya know...just thoughts...the video thing I think is self-evident, the Vassal because a lot of folks seem to be using it these days and an all in one category for all hook ups is fine.

Just having a one-stop would be great instead of having 10 browsers open to keep track of everything...just sayin'

Hey, I wait for the review so I 'missed out' but you convinced me even more to get my hands on MOI first chance. Seemed a bit expensive too for my blood. I went to check the price and poof! It was gone Smiley

I know - but this place is never going to be a big site. If people really want special sections for those kinds of
sections - I'm good with it (like if you only want to game with folk on here).

Hell, put up a poll, see if people want it. Subfora aren't expensive in terms of real-estate on SMF.
