Hi, seeing how the forums are categorized right now and looking ahead:
1: The naming:
It may be more efficient, in the long run,
to name each forum by their respective titles.
2: The amount:
SMT and DDS are fine with their own boards.
(Main series & currently most known. Likely the be used alot.)
The rest can be crammed into 1 and would feel the same.
(Spinoffs & old stuff. Likely to be visited every now and then.)
Later on, Devil Summoner, which'll likely be brought overseas,
could use a forum of its own. (Much news/updates expected soon.)
3: The order:
Even for game specific message boards,
it's safe to say that the level of activity in "General Discussion"
may equal or even surpass those of the games themselves.
When we're not talking about SMT or DDS,
we talk about, well, everything/anything else!
So that would probably do better on top.
Basically, here's the suggested layout, keeping it simple:
+General Discussion
+Shin Megami Tensei
+Digital Devil Saga
+Devil Summoner
+Other
+Updates / Questions etc.---
Feel free to comment, thanks!
