    This move was done for one reason
    because the game population has died off and they don't need all of those forums. I don't see near the amount of threads on here as a month ago. The forum consolidation will be fine, and too many posts pushing down good topics isn't going to be a problem....because there aren't many people playing this anymore, thus way less posts.

    The action may be completed, but the forums are a completely unusable mess.

    In other words the goal has been achieved. Instead of complaining about the game, we're all complaining about a lack of ability to find threads about the game so we can complain in them. The plan is working.

    Fan site forums were dead. K-TAM was the only real active posts there and I don't think we will get our own forum here. I think some consolidation is good. I think the consoles should remain individual. You could probably mix the clan forums as most clans seem to be cross platform, the larger ones anyway, and the smaller ones are not likely to be active enough anyway.

    Seeing as the community has shrunk it is a good idea to also shrink the forums.

    Interesting: would you guys like to see the clan forums merge?

    No way. The clan forums need to remain separate. Most clans do not seem to be cross platform, most of them are not. While there may be a few that are, it wouldn't be fair to anyone to push it all together and it would actually make it harder for people to find clans. With the way it is, they can see which clans are still remaining active with their thread and post appropriately.

    It would be nice if the need/want trading post link was on the front page so new users can find it without having to delve into the whole list....it would combat the price checking and trade posts in the general section

    This so much, there are too many levels in the different categories. IMO, something like that would be far better :

    Ofc, everything would be accessible from the forum root (http://forums.defiance.com).

    I don't talk about German and French Forums, it's not as busy as it is here :)

    I think you're right. Lots of folks don't know where to find them or even that they exist.
