nearmiss, a suggestion

[jimbop]

You locked the other thread before I could finish! Never mind...

At the moment the only part of the forum worth reading are the sub-forums (i.e. technical, multiplayer etc) but unfortunately these don't get as much attention as the parent forum which is just rubbish at the moment.

A suggestion:

1. Make a sub-forum for General Discussion
2. The only threads on the main page are announcements and stickies

This way people can see announcements, stickies etc but then have to move to a sub-forum to post. Anyone who wants a rant etc can go to General Discussion, otherwise people can go to the sub-forum of their choice.

I think this would make the rant threads easier to ignore and would definite change the emphasis of the forum (which is very negative at the moment), hopefully to more constructive threads in the technical etc sub-forums which are still excellent.
