I think this may have been mentioned before but I'd like to suggest it again. I think a GTA IV subforum needs to be made in Console Gaming.
http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=249
Nearly that whole page of threads is about GTA and it's not going to die down when the game is actually released.

Is there really a demand? It'll die down within a few months... A sub-forum normally means a subject that will stay for a while e.g. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft...

... Why remove Nintendo?
Yea, I think a GTA Forum will be good :)
Every one who has a PS3 or 360 will have GTA, so it will be usefull :P

Wouldn't it look a mess next to the other sub-forums; Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo? Although I guess there is no other alternative, perhaps the list could be:
GTA IV
Microsoft
Sony
Nintendo?

i dont think a sub forum is nesicary.

Na because you can have too many topics for just a stickied thread =/
GommeInc
27-04-2008, 07:31 PM
And people will chuck about friend codes/user names which would confuse everyone and you'll have to specify which console you're talking about with GTA.

true.
but a sub forum will be ok for a month.
but then just die when a new game comes out.

Honestly, it looks like there's a lot of demand now, but come next month there won't be any threads on the subject at all :)

We can get a Parent Sub Forum?
[PS3]
[Xbox 360]
Lay it out like that I guess.

Why not just do Sub forms like Shooting Sports Acticon etc etc because GTA isnt the only HUGE game

Because they're not needed :) Sub forums are usually only put in place to stop the parent forum becoming clogged up with threads on that topic.

Which it is, 17 out of 20threads (excluding stickies) on console gaming front page are about GTA IV.

Then you have to take into account how long it will last and if the forum has always been clogged up. It's only clogged up now because of repetitive threads due to pre-release. A sub-forum is a good idea, but it won't last for more than a few months...
Armal

Although imo i think there wont be as many thread once the game is actually out. Atm everyone is asking and questioning everything.

What about if you do..
[GAMING FORUMS]
Microsoft
Wii
PS3
[SPECIFIC GAME FORUMS]
Halo
COD
GTA
Fifa
I think that would work best :)

Again, the forum isn't filled with those sorts of threads, and some of the ones are exclusive to certain consoles too.

A sub forum isn't needed... If it is then there should be a COD4 sub forum aswell?

Not really? COD4 doesn't have as big a audience as GTA 4 would have. Just because one thing has a sub-forum, doesn't mean something significantly smaller should have one too...

I completed disagree.
As much as I like GTA, there are many other games just as popular, so it shouldn't be singled out. ;)
Personally I don't agree. Sorry :(
It's a good idea, but save it till another game (when threads go out of control)
it doesnt need a sub-forum
after the game is released there will only be one or two threads on it.
HOWEVER
there could be a sub forum for it until it is released and the forum dies.
Just sticky a thread named "GTA IV" then I don't have to see ******s posting threads like cheats or asking about gameplay and a note to them, your browsing the internet try expanding your mind a bit more.
Thetan
28-04-2008, 08:54 PM
This is quite a good idea. When the game comes out, people will still post eastereggs, cheats, help with missions, cool videos.
Of course, the management won't do it, because their lazy and instead want to implement useless things we don't need.

They split the console gaming didn't they?
Pyahah, I feel a sticky/sub-forum would be helpful yes.

I disagree, its only a game specially when it will die down shortly its just all hype.
(I also disagree with the Flight Sim forum)

I get the feeling that this will die down soon after the initial craze passes. It just came out so obviously the hype is there, but much like ClubTropica after the craze passes people will move on.

Exactly as the nvrator has said, a subforum for such a game, despite it being the best selling game of the year, is not needed for the moment.
However, should demand continue, it'll be considered. (Just as World of Warcraft was moved)

No Because There Is Specualtion About Downloadabel Content For GTAIV And I'm Not Gonna Stop Posting As Its Released In Fact I Expect Post Count To Go Up Due To People Playing On It And Stuff
Maybe They Should Hold One Of Those Forum Wide Votes

well they should monitor the sub forum (if its made) for activity say if there isnt a new thread or post in two days they close it

I'm sure we should have a sub-forum, the games more popular than CT! Rockstar said they want the game to last a good 3-4 years and will keep on releasing downloads for it. I think a sub-forum will be a good idea, like other people said trial it if you want. HOWEVER you didn't trial CT did you? And that wasn't even a blinking sub-forum it was a section of it's own!!! :rolleyes:
Just give them their damn forum.
Console games is just getting spammed with the same **** over and over.

A sub-forum would be good, then guides and stuff could be posted, it's a big game so alot of people will be wanting to find stuff for it, the only problem is after a few months it'll probably become less popular so really no use for it

HOW ABOUT THIS:
If there are a decent amount of threads about this in, lets say, two months, then a sub-forum could be a possibility, until then, why the hell are you even discussing it? Yes, there's alot of threads for it - but when, lets say, v21 came out on Habbo, there was lots of threads - do you see "Version 21 Discussion"?
And tutorials and whatever crap your trying to make up to get a forum can simply go in console gaming? Job done.
(Oh, and I have GTA VI on my Xbox 360, so no, i'm not being bias.)
GommeInc
02-05-2008, 06:24 PM
There's no point having a forum... It's the most activity the console games forum has had in a long time "/
