Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Just wondering if it would be a good idea to have a merger forum between Awakening-Fates for the 3DS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 It would make sense, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Seems a bit premature to me. The DS boards weren't merged until well after the DS era had concluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 In my opinion, (take with a grain of salt), I think its too early. Awakening and Fates both have tons of activity and they'd be literally drowning each other out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awakening and Fates both have tons of activity and they'd be literally drowning each other out. Agreed. It would be smarter to combine them once a new Fire Emblem generation comes along.

Czar_Yoshi Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think it's a terrible idea. If I couldn't browse Awakening stuff without having to put up with If prerelease spoilers, I'd probably leave SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 It will probably be done eventually, but only after the generation concludes, like with previous FE boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynstein Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Now is not the time because Fates needs all the attention it can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Karnage Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 personally I think Fates needs 3 subfourms, 1 for each campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I couldn't browse Awakening stuff without having to put up with If prerelease spoilers, I'd probably leave SF. huh? There are still separate sections in the merged console areas.... As for a 3DS merge, it's too early. Wait until the 3DS era is over, like we did for DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 huh? There are still separate sections in the merged console areas.... Really? The only one I go to is the SNES one and it doesn't have those. Huh. What's the point of a merge if you've still got the sections separate?

What's the point of a merge if you've still got the sections separate? the way everything but nes/snes is handled is very much a cosmetic thing. it keeps the index relatively brief and tidy while losing exactly none of the content's organisation nes/snes is very much the exception in this case, as the traffic there is low enough that it allegedly doesn't really warrant six game-specific subforums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have somewhat of an unrelated question, but it does involve the forum layout. Why is SMTxFE above Fates in the game board? Are we doing that because it was announced before Fates was? Since I am a bit of a neat freak, I thought it would look better to have Fates right after Awakening, then SMTxFE. Not saying that it HAS to be changed; I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerine Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Since I've been the one to handle our mergers and stuff in the past, I figured I'd chime in and answer the questions asked: - If the sections separately aren't terribly active we'll generally start to consider merging them into a console-specific section with game-specific subsections. Fates is the most active section of our forum currently, and Awakening is #5 or 6 behind some of our social sections and GFE. It doesn't make a lot of sense to us to merge them when they're both still so active. - The NES and SNES games are merged differently because they simply don't have the activity to support separate sections. We do have sections on the forum with less activity than, say, FE4 or 5 discussion (Tear Ring Saga), but those sections are necessary simply because it doesn't make any sense to put those threads anywhere else. For the most part, people only talk about the SNES games there, so there really isn't an organizational issue that would justify sections either. I might go through the section one day to see just how many threads there are for FE4 and 5, and maybe split them into their own subsections and leave the NES games merged if there are a lot, but I don't know if there's really any demand for that. - SMTxFE is above it because it was created first, yes.

VincentASM Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 To add to the above, we will probably move SMT x FE down the list eventually. Also, unlike the other merged boards, the NES/SNES FE board started off life as is (i.e. all 5 or 6 games merged), while the other boards briefly enjoyed life as separate boards before being merged, hence why they got the subforum treatment.
