I posted this last year as well:

Whenever something going on is not discussion based and more interaction based, like watching a speedrunning charity event or watching EVO, is it worth having a subforum built for that? It seems like an easier way to draw attention to those events for people who are already there to peruse other games' events. And it shifts some of the redundant megathreads apart (ie the two huge DOTA2 threads: one for the game itself and one for watching pro matches).

Just a thought.

Its more like SGDQ, AGDQ, EVO, ESL, all LOL/DOTA/CSGO pro threads, etc etc.

As more games start having pro leagues with streams, do you want more threads in games or a separate listing?

to be real though, i tend to laugh all day when people say 'DO WE NEED A NEW THREAD/FORUM FOR X?' brother if you actually need a thread/subforum for x there won't be a question.

I mean, do you really think that Blizzard games need their own subforum? Move WoW to MMO and all you have is HotS, Diablo, Overwatch, and Starcraft.

whenever these things come up, i typically stick them and that's been more than enough for visibility and interaction. i left that final fantasy fiesta thread stuck for like 2 months and from what i hear it was a pretty good success as far as forums activity goes.

I meant it more like "I'm here for EVO, I wonder if there are any comparable event threads going on," but I digress. It was just an idea.
