  • Proposal to change the Forum Name

    In view of the main use of this forum in these :sob: days of decline :sob:, I would like to propose that this forum be re-named:

    Civ2 - General/Help/Succession
    28
    No! - [b]Civ2 - General/Help[/b] is fine
    32.14%
    9
    Yes - [b]Civ2 - General/Help/Succession[/b]
    25.00%
    7
    Yes - but to something else ...
    28.57%
    8
    Banana
    14.29%
    4

    The poll is expired.

    If you really want to change the name of our little corner of the net then why not just Civ 2 General?
    I don't see the need for a subforum for SXN games, or even a name change to reflect their near dominance.
    We still want people to come here to play the OCC and early landing comparisons!

      How about this?

      I agree that succession gaming needs a better identity, but would tweak you idea a bit, Stu, with a nod to the duke's thought.

      Change Strategy to General/Help/Strategy.

      Change General/Help to Succession/Comparison Games.

      This way, there's no net change in the number of forums; they're just reorganized a bit more logically.

        I'd like to see two forums - Civ 2 General and Civ 2 Strategy/Help. That'd be the best situation as far as I'm concerned. Then people who are having trouble with the technical side can go and ask in the strategy forum, and the spammy "which is your favourite unit" polls can go here.

          I like Jrabbit's suggestion
          "I'm a guy - I take everything seriously except other people's emotions"

            I think if you would like to see forum usage increased, you should give it a more attractive name. A name that says to users, "You want to find out what's in there". Something like "Civ 2 - Electric Boogaloo"..

              I third JRabbit's thoughts.

                Though -Jrabbit makes a logical suggestion (by function), I favor Stu's offering. It has the value of not making a hash of any future archive.

                    Another vote for JRabbits proposal. Succession and Comparison games push General and Help threads down too quickly. Combine General and Help with Strategy and maybe they will look in the Great Library first before asking what an SSC is for the Nth time...

                      JRabbit's proposal is good. But what will happen with all those old threads? Or is it posible to join Strategy and General forums and to move several tens of threads to a new Succession/Comparison forum (edited - formerly thread)?

                        Thanks, ST. That's what I was trying to point out.

                            I fourth them - and yet there are only three votes for the "something else" change.
