So, we want to officially make the forum a Gaming forum, considering most of the topics have to do with some form of gaming (Forum Games, the Forum RPG, general gaming, etc.), and we hope to make the site seem more like the kind of place people would want to join.  What do you think?

Dude, I'd highly advise you correct your grammar/spelling.

Anyways, this isn't really a gaming forum at the moment, I think of it more as a general forum, with no exact purpose. Maybe if it became just a "gaming" forum it would attract much, much more attention, meaning a stable & active userbase. I won't cast my vote right now, I'm not really sure if this is the right path to follow, but since SMBXE was shut down all the activity died (some wen't to Joey's) so maybe this might be the right path? idk

I wish people would actually tell us WHY they vote no.  It's not like we're gonna delete topics or anything, EVERYONE ON HERE is a gamer.  If we make this a gaming forum, chances are that this won't affect the forum itself too much with the exception of moving some things around.

Oh, wow. The general consensus is to stay general. Quite honestly, I'm surprised.

It would help if anyone voting gave a reason to be perfectly frank.

It honestly seems like the only person who voted and explained why he voted is me.  Shade explained what he'd have likely voted had he been on here longer, but as he said, he didn't vote.  I noticed this on another poll, too, and I personally don't understand why people don't explain their opinions in the first place.  :/

I voted no. We've tried out being a gaming forum as SMBXE, and we ultimately attracted an immature community, which led to me wanting to run a different forum due to the immaturity (this was the real reason I merged).

However, the community we have now is great. There's not as much immaturity at all; and everyone's nice to each other. Most of the time.

I voted no as well. As much of a good idea it is (In my opinion) even though most things here have to do with gaming, not ALL parts of it are, and I agree with Cloud, it did attract a rather immature crowd, so, that's my reasoning
