We're not surrendering anything.
It's a matter of focus. Having the discussions about design in one focussed forum makes them easier to find, yes?
We've talked about an RPG Design forum for a long time. It had little to do with the perceived content of the General RPG Discussion board back then, and it doesn't now. I know DU likes to make teh funny, but his exagerration about WH40K porn (etc) has never been part of the reason why we wanted one.
Edit:
Oh and "all these new boards" - we really only have one more. Which is still several less than we had when the Tycoon ones were live.
The reason why the Space Sims one existed and the Adventure one exists now is that staff members felt (at their respective times) that they were worthy underdog game genres. Space Sims became Sims when we folded TycoonCodex fora into it.
Would people prefer the focus of the Sim board we had to a General Gaming one?
