Hello everyone, there really needs to be a more active discussion on this sub-forum. It seems dead most of the time and maybe that's attribute to how low it is on the HF Gamers Page or maybe its because of the users who post here, regardless we need to clean it up. There are so many aspects that we can discuss about Nintendo and their consoles, but we have to fix a few problems causing this forum to be dead and lagging.

1. Keep all requests in the same thread. Currently we have multiple threads with people requesting certain items or things in Pokemon games. It would really help to prune these threads, and create a small "Pokemon Trading General" within this sub-forum. That way other topics have a chance to see the light of day, and the forum doesn't look like a bunch of people begging for Pokemon.

2. Don't make dead end discussion. If you take a look at the threads that receive the most replies, they all ask an opinion to those who read the question or statement. If your post can be easily answered by a Google search then do so, and save the space on the front page for a more valuable affair.

3. Try and include the title of the game you're playing or talking about within the title of your thread. There has been various threads where people just ask for or want to discuss something, and the title gives no idea what the threads about. People won't respond if they do not know what you are talking about.

4. If possible, close your thread when you receive an answer to your question. That way people won't be responding to old questions and we can move onto new ones. That also mean searching for older threads that have been answered so that we don't get the same questions twice.

These are what I've seen so far around here, please feel free to add so that we can revive this section!

Well written couldnt agree more it is pretty much dead around these parts.

I know, what's worse is there are so many things to talk about. Most people come here for answers to their questions, and just leave when they get them. Discussion is almost non-existent. Even so, the best threads we get are those "Who's your favorite Pokemon?" threads that don't actually just have discussion, but a bunch of people replying to the OP.

I just think this section doesn't get any attention because of how unpopular Nintendo is with the common crowd.

That may be true, but it gets a good amount of use when a new pokemon game is released. XY sprouted a ton of new posts, and I can see a lot more coming this November.

But this section shouldn't be popular every time a new game is released. As we have seen Omni removes boards that lack in posts or popularity. If this section is dead 90% of the time I don't really think he's going to leave this section for the other 364 days a year that a pokemon game isn't released.

Most posts in this section are people wanting help or people who post for the sake of posting. Again look at how many people just come here post once then leave, we have very few regulars in this section.

We need more opinionated discussion and content driven discussion. At least that way we can use this sub-forum for its original purpose instead of blatant begging and "one stop posting".
