I doubt there will ever be consensus, but I'm curious.

Personally I'm not a fan either, but it's not a big enough issue for me to really care. Not sure why, but it's just looks ugly. It's still redundant but now with unnecessary added crud, I suppose. Not sure what's wrong with Other Games > Other Games anyway. We had that for years under a previous setup and no one ever complained IIRC. But again, not a biggie to me personally.Comment

As above, and also even shortening it to acronym form is rather unweildy. AOG versus OG? I would certainly prefer Games > Other Games.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

It's pretty clumsy, but alternative suggestions are to various degrees too.
I still prefer Other games - Other games.Comment

I like "Other Games>All Other Games" given that we have some forums dedicated to specific games under the OG category and then the general forum. I always viewed "Other Games>Other Games" as redundant too, but hadn't thought of or seen an alternative that I liked until Martin's (and even then it wasn't immediate as seen by the time lapsed from the suggestion to it being accepted). I had thought about "Other Games General" a number of times but that seemed and still seems cumbersome.
To me, AOG under the OG category says 'games other than those specified in the category are discussed here'.PolyCast Co-Host, Owner and Producer: entertaining | informing civ

My issue with that is almost all of the specific game forums in the "Other Games" category are those that we offer full coverage of (or least in full in part, re: Master of Orion). Given this, categorizing them as "Misc Games" seems a bit off to me.Originally posted by Ming

Yes, miscellaneous games that we offer full coverage for, and other games.
Makes perfect sense.Comment

All right, I'll accept that argument.
Your thoughts, Skanky? snoopy369? Martin? (Asking each of you specifically as you've involved yourselves in this discussion, and I'll add Locutus in 'this' fashion knowing you don't have any strong feelings either way on it.)PolyCast Co-Host, Owner and Producer: entertaining | informing civ

After a second read that makes to me perfect sense, too.Originally posted by DrSpike

Actually, my original suggestion was aimed to break the redundancy and that's what this alternative does, too. My feelings about that aren't so strong either. So even if we revert back to the original in the end. At least we tried.

Other Games -> Other Games is my preferred choice. Misc Games -> Other Games is second.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Misc Games - > Other Games
This gets my vote. I didn't have much issue with the redundancy, but this suggestion does away with that as well.
