Should we abolish the games section of the forum?

That's hardly fair at all seeing as everyone who picks option 3 probably never even use the section in question and it barely makes any difference to those people either way. They're not voting for what's best for new members, just what's most convenient for themselves.

I'm speaking as someone who doesn't spend most of his time in the Gaming section, but I do post there occasionally and enjoy reading threads there on a regular basis. That is something else you must consider, just because a forum doesn't get a huge amount of posts doesn't mean it's not providing a service to a lot of people. A section like Gaming is probably going to contain a lot of informative threads as people ask for advice etc so anyone else looking for the same information may read the threads without posting in them.

That's probably because the anime fans on this forum seem to have brains. I say that because they decided to have one ongoing thread to discuss all aspects of manga and anime. This keeps the forum very tidy, easy to follow and I imagine it makes life easier for the mods. If other sections that don't have many regular users were to follow this method, it could save a lot of them from being shut down and displeasing a segment (however small) of Habbox's members.

Anyway, I voted for option 1 but now I'm thinking option 2 may work, if I understand it correctly. In any case, option 3 should not even be considered in my opinion. A more reliable poll would only involve members who actually use the particular forum section in question. Not to mention, how can merging a section with another section to create a forum with chains of maybe four or five sub-forums, possibly tidy it up? :S

Obviously a joke Rob, lol, I thought the bit in brackets explained that. Anyway, 42% want it to remain untouched which is pretty vast considering there are three options and if all the votes are from different accounts then it should stay the same to respect what the majority want

The games forums are alot more active than alot of forums on here. Transport, fashion, food and drink. Never get any posts. You should look elsewhere before moving it. Personally, in a non-biased way, I see my idea as the best and it makes everyone happy.
