If you have a good idea, go for it. We don' t get many threads here so it' s not too necessary, still it' s rare that any thread will stay alive too long here. We don' t have a lot of active members and we' ve reached a point where most of what we say is predictable since we' ve known eachother for that long.

That' s why I asked, not sure how well it would work out here. MGS Threads are always welcome though, aren' t they?

I don' t think anyone here gives a rat' s ass about NeoGAF.

Of course in order to be " official" , you must be sponsored by the subject of the thread.

I didn' t ask that either... I asked how you felt about Official Threads, that' s all.

Nitro' s a regular poster, and while I can' t post there, there' s the occasional good read.

There' s no real reason for them. Every so often, a thread gets pinned, but until we see a larger amount of people using the forums, and having good threads pushed to the bottom from traffic, there' s not much to worry about.

And I responded. In order to be official, you must be sponsored by the subject. Otherwise there isn' t anything " official" about it.

I do like those " official" ones though. I' ve seen it here and there on other forums. All of a sudden there' s someone going : " Official PS3 thread- Post all PS3 related news in here from now on since this is the official thread" .

Most of the times it' s some random kid making the thread official just by using the word official.
But I don' t mind " official" ones or so since it (can) keeps things a bit more organized. The thing that made it funny was that one clearly could feel how important the original poster felt throughout the thread. Or showing up in other somewhat similar threads to refer all the stupid people to the official one :P

I think we tried that about a year ago with 3 separate threads(360, wii, PS3) to separate the fanboys, but then they just went to those threads and flamed there.

On NeoGAF " official" jut distinguishes that that is the main thread for discussion about a particular game release. Here there are not enough threads. However there is no harm in using that system either and it could help to better organise threads so there aren' t multiple threads for big releases. So feel free.

I can understand not wanting multiple threads for the same game/release, but I don' t think having the word " official" in the thread title would help that. There are usually multiple threads because the person starting the second one didn' t see the first one or chooses not to look if any are existing yet.

you could just make a thread about the game, as allot of threads arent made that often.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I seem to recall that. Maybe it depends a bit on " forum culture" if an official thread makes things more organized or not then.

Is it possible that I already encountered one of those? :P

while sticky official threads are useful they inevitably drift off topic so you get 30 or so useful posts and then double that of random abuse/flaming etc.

This only crossed my mind because we have... uh, 20 useless threads about the same game. Like some have mentioned it was just to organize things a bit more.

And when I say " Official" , I don' t mean it in terms of it being sponsored or whatever, I mean it' s " Official" because it' s the thread you go to when you want to discuss/know something about a game.

But, uh, yeah, considering the responses I may post something.

Just go ahead and make one. If people decide to post in it, then it' s up to them.

(Hopefully) Nobody on here is pathetic enough to complain about you making an " Official" thread on an internet forum.

Those work well in the videogames section over at the sonic stadium. Especially for the PS3 ,360 and the Wii. In those you hardly ever see any fanboys screwing it up by going to one just to bitch about the other consoles. And if they do also get banned if it happens several times and all that.

New threads of like one sentence long or just going like ooh what you think about this game also get banned. They want to see you put effort into it and explain more about the game if the details are there yet or about the background of the series. Also like one worded posts are frowned upon.

I actually like it that way. Works well and gives you a good read most of the time. But that can just be because most of the people around there just aren' t little fanboys hellbent on making fun of this or that console and are actually wanting a good discussion.

We should rename this thread " The official thread on official threads."

I know, I' m cheesy.
