Yogi Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I personally think the chaos forums should be merged together. Maybe I'm wrong but for example whenever I go into the throne of skulls. Theres not much going on. I expect to hear resounding no!!! but I just wondered what other peoples opinions are?

Zeller Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 If the other 4 forums are more or less stagnant then I see no reason not to merge them. However, for players that wish to focus on only one God and their respective lists, rules, and tactics having separate forums is most useful. I choose no.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 If the other 4 forums are more or less stagnant then I see no reason not to merge them. However, for players that wish to focus on only one God and their respective lists, rules, and tactics having separate forums is most useful. I choose no. This is pretty spot on & why B&C went down this path/keep to this with the updated codexies. Like wise with codex Daemon being added in. It a bit like how Ultramarine have there own fourm still there & then you have the other side with Iron Hands, Salamander, Imperial Fist ( :whoops: ) even though they all follow the same codex. Just mean people can focuse on that one area/talk a bit more about there favrout force (take Ultramarine for exsample for Imperail side). Hope this help out. Who know, when codex Legion happens........we might even see some more chaos area's for this fourm ;) IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177227-does-anyone-think-the-chaos-forums-should-be-merged/#findComment-2095132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 With our previous codex there was more of a point. But at the moment the slaanesh and tzeentch forums are pretty much dead. There's only a couple of new threads in them a month. Khorne and Nurgle are doing a bit better, but even for them the thread count isn't much. I don't think it would hurt to merge the forums, but at the same time they are fine like this and i don't see a particular advantage to it either.

I don't think it would hurt to merge the forums, but at the same time they are fine like this and i don't see a particular advantage to it either. I agree with this. I'd estimate that 80-90% of the traffic goes through the Chaos Ascendant forum anyway. so there isn't alot to be gained by combining them. If it was an issue of space/organization or something like that I could maybe understand but I don't think thats the case. You could lump them into Cult Legions, kinda like the Index Astartes forum for Loyalist Marines, but again, what does that really get you?

chillin Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 They used to be combined, didn't they ? I see no reason to combine them again, it's not like it's a huge problem to click on the undivided forum from the khorne forum. But sifting threw a bunch of N, Tz, S, & K only stuff would be a pain in the butt. As would sifting threw a bunch of undivided, N, Tz, & S stuff if you were a K. only player. the forums are fine the way they are. So what if some are more busy then others ?

Drudge Dreadnought Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 To be fair, we do end up with plenty of god specific discussion in the undivided forum anyway. It just tends to be more from the perspective of multi god rather than mono god.

Redbaron997 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I agree the minigun in agreeing with Drudge. With our current Codex there isnt much traffic. If they do Fine, If they dont Im fine with it as well. Of course if the rumoured Legion(s) codex(s) do come out they should have thier own section.

goldenwonder Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Why change things? Just because the current codex has put Slaanesh and Tzeentch at a disadvantage (though the same can be said for most of the legion specific armies) compared to Khorne and Nurgle doesn't mean that they have been completely abandoned. At least with the seperate forums people have somewhere to go to talk specifically about their force or that specific god. If the problem is that these threads end up here - then move them where they belong. It's bad enough GW has turned it's back on the Legions - the last thing we need is for the B&C to follow suit. If traffic had completely stopped and demand gone completely I could understand but this isn't the case as far as I am aware - the seperate forums aren't doing any harm. If you don't play that army, why are you so concerned about that forums existance? Whilst the rate of change and updates may be slower, they are there for the people who want or need them. :D The current layout isn't broken - so why try and fix it?

Yogi Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 I really like chaos, and I like seeing other people thoughts/armies etc. But IMO the more you split up a forum the less traffic it gets, these forums made more sense with the old dex. But hey have no fear I have no power it just a thought..

the jeske Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The current layout isn't broken - so why try and fix it? because for a very long time there was 1 forum and right now slansh and tzeench are more or less dead. I think the slanesh on has less then 1 post per day. also techniclly speaking there is no slansh or tzeench armies anymore just one chaos army. People [that includes me] may not like it , but thats how it is. I think it would help new people a lot who check the chaos forum only [because people post here] and dont check the god specific forums .

Zhukov Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yep I vote for 1 forum too. The other forums are a bit redundant in my eyes. But I dont care much either if it stays like it is now.

MRCHAOS Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 pretty much the response I expected. I however am too lazy to check all of the god specific forums.. So if it was merged into one, would it not cause you more work in finding specific information you want, ie having to sift through all the other gods stuff? <_< I think it should stay the same! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177227-does-anyone-think-the-chaos-forums-should-be-merged/#findComment-2096080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Amarel Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 We used to have one forum and it was too busy, hence the split. Admittedly that was back when the codex allowed for decent discussion all forums, but assuming we get something better at some point the multiple forums will be needed again and I don't think Admin really want to keep merging and then splitting forums.

Brother Asmodius Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I also am going to say no. While i have to agree that some of the specific god forums are a little stagnant (Slaanesh). I think it would definately cause excessive searching for relavent topics. I honestly wouldn't mind a spilt of the army list forum but thats just me and with the new codex that could end up being fairly tricky.

IronWinds Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 What about 2 instead of 5? Chaos Ascendant & Ruinious Powers(all 4 gods in 1). God specific stuff in the second one. General chaos in the first. Demons more in the second than the first. Some of your Qs that revolve around all the gods can go to the second one, lightening up the first one, and you won't have 2 dead forums, 2 slow forums, and 1 busy one. Instead have 2 relativly busy ones :) . We didn't even have this many back when there were a crapload of players that played armies completely dedicated to one god. Now the vast majority of armies are a mixture, and right now any army that is a mixture is going to be in this forum.

Corpse. Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I say keep all 6 of the sectors separate. Legion codexes will be out eventually, because there are more chaos players then ork players. They are bound to give us a second marine codex describing them.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Eh, I hit "View New Posts" every time I come on, so subforums don't apply to me. And I always took the Legion Codices to be lies and arse-covering. But I suppose the future is uncertain...

Prot Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We went through this debate a while back.... trying to decide how to handle the different powers/legions. Personally, and this is just me, I more or less miss having army lists within the specific powers. Many people don't even look at the lists anymore. Yes, they consume 'posting space' however, they often lead to a myriad of conversations going far beyond the 'Does this army list work' kind of posts we see now. Army lists often lead to very interesting conversation that simply doesn't happen anymore. We dropped the Sallie list, and some other ones.... and kept others. If it were done purely by popularity, I'd guess "Iron Warriors" are more deserving of their own forum sub-section before.... Tzeentch or Slaanesh. I'm not sure where you'd draw the line, or why. BUT one day you never know... GW may snap out of it and do Chaos Legions books and I'd have to guess this would be re-visited at that time.

Hellbreaker Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Lets put it like this, finding my way here in the first place to ask for advice was hard enough with the myriad of boards... Now finding this board is easy as pie due to the myriad of boards. If the other boards goes I'd probably be lost and wouldn't be able to find my way here... Until a couple of tries... Boards are like bookmarks to me, they may be a complete waste but when you lose them, oh god how you wish that they were there. Cheers!

incinerator950 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I enjoy the Nurgle side of the board, it helps narrow down the **** **** I have to figure out in the limited time I can access the internet, which reminds me, I should be sleeping because I'm on nightshift tonight and the rest of the week.

We use to have all the god specific ones, and with the 3.0 codex, then the 3.5 there was alot of action on the god specific ones. I moderated the Chaos forums back then. Then after 3.5 the forums were merged. Then unmerged again to help promote god specific discussions. Seems the new codex doesn't inspire much god specific discussion.

Dem's Fighting words. :P then again, the Iron Warrior serve Slaanesh (RT era Slaves and the Iron Warrior symbology). :P Yeah, the seperation of the board around the old idea of gods being seperate entities, and the legions being different may be outdated. Still I love my mono-god army's memories.
