re: Re: re: Do We Need a Games Sub-Forum?

Couldn't think of where else to post this, so move if necessary. So I'm seeing a few XNA Games/announcements postings in different sub-fourms. Its awesome that theres a lot of support behind it. Also people are encountering errors as well and that necessitates focused community support. This leads me to my question: Do you think we should ask for an XNA/Zune Games sub-forum? I also have a few follow up questions:

• Have we earned it? / Will we use it?
  
• Would people post games to it?
• Are there any XNA developers who are regulars on Zune.net and are willing to debug potential errors and answer questions?

I got the idea after reading this wish list post a while back (link). Jetherealz seems to be on board, if there's interest. One thing I also got from the thread is that there is already an XNA development site with forums (link). Your LiveID works there as well, you just have to register. One thing, they don't have is a Zune-specific sub-forum (well there isn't an Xbox one either). However there are people posting Zune related XNA problems already and we could simply direct all XNA related problems over to them.

Another thing brought up in the thread, if we do have an XNA forum here there is a possibility of splitting development talents between the two sites (and any others you may already be apart of). I know I'd hate to check muliple forums if I didn't necessarily have to. However, ZuneBoards, Zunerama, DarkZune (those were the ones I checked) already have a Games forum. So shouldn't we?

yes. its would be nice. I think it would be better than searching the internet for games. Here it would be easy.

I agree. I would love to see a games section on these forums.

I'm for it. I think more Zunies are going to be learning XNA as time goes by and having a presence here can only help.

Absolutely.

We definitely need a games sub-forum.

Yes, there's no doubt. There  should be a separate  sub forum for all Zune and games and xna related topics. Because once the topics start increasing, it'll be difficult to trace. If they are at one place i'll be very helpful and the Games list and artciles bound to grow exponentially.

I definitely agree, I'm new to the forum and that is what I came here seeking so I think there should be a Games Sub-Forum. :-D

IMO, there are too many subforums, but sure, since games are going to be a part of Zune.
