PkK Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Some peole are creating threads for idividual Flashback topics, cluttering the forum. Others are replying to the big Flashback thread, making it hard to read (75 pages already). IMO having a Flashback subforum would be better. Philipp P.S.: My two Flashbacks arrived yesterday, didn't find time to unpack them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think that's a good idea. There is enough interest to justify it, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) If Colecovision Flashback discussion isn't welcome in the Colecovision forum, we already have a dedicated systems sub-forum. http://atariage.com/forums/forum/19-dedicated-systems/ But push it away will not only mean that people will have to visit an infrequently visited portion of the board to discuss it, but it will also reduce the audience for traditional discussion here as some of the folks that mostly visit here to discuss their new Flashback system will stop making this part of their daily round and will be less likely to partake in other discussions. Doesn't seem worthwhile when the vast majority of the discussion has occurred in a single thread.

+5-11under Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The ColecoVision/ADAM forum is a good spot for this. The main problem is that it's difficult to find things in a 75 page thread. We just need to start new threads for new topics about the Flashback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I don't know how many sub-forums of the main CV&ADAM Forum that Albert is willing to make to keep things tidy and easier to find, but if a CV Flashback sub-forum were to be created, I think a Team Pixelboy sub-forum should be created as well seeing what an important part to the community they have been... right alongside CollectorVision and Opcode Games. The threads pertaining to the CV Flashback and Team Pixelboy should be easy enough to tracks down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_c Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The thread's first post could be edited to include links to common questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Maybe sticking the thread would be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Leave things as they are. All the sub-forums do is water down traffic to the ColecoVision forum which is what it is all about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It would make more sense to have a Flashback forum within dedicated consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkK Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 It would make more sense to have a Flashback forum within dedicated consoles. It is emulating a ColecoVision, it runs ColecoVision games, it is meant to look and feel like a ColecoVision. The people interested in it are probably mostly the same as those interested in the real ColecoVision. Thus, IMO, it makes sense to have it as a subforum of the ColecoVision subforum. Even better would be both: Just like the ColecoVision programming forum is a subforum of both the ColecoVision and the Programming forum.

Atariboy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) A sub-forum for a topic where 95% of the discussion around it has taken place in a single thread? Still sounds pointless to me.

+LS650 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 As one poster wrote, perhaps the problem is that we have pretty much just one cover-all topic that is 75+ pages long. I think folks should start asking their FB questions in separate topic threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightywiz Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 i think they should create a new forum topic all together called "plug and play retro video games" and then they would have their own place where everyone could talk about all of them.

VectorGamer Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 A sub-forum for a topic where 95% of the discussion around it has taken place in a single thread? Still sounds pointless to me. This. It amazes me that thread is 75+ pages long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
