Games might be the most easily trolled forum outside of D&D, and if we banned everyone who made someone sad there would only be two posters left: me and the OP of the Soccer Spirits thread.

This forum needs a "survived xxx bullshit reports" score in the posting gloryhole that gets reset with each probation and ban

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.

there's barely enough traffic for a thread for most of those charity events, i have no idea why you'd think there's enough traffic for a subforum

i mean sgdq/agdq is the only one that might have enough going on to warrant more than 1 thread but even then, have a shitposting thread and a seriousposting thread, wipe hands, done

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?

with the exception of the pro threads none of the things you just mentioned are on at the same time so they're not going to fill out a subforum, and in the case of the pro threads that just means you have two threads instead of one for a specific game

this already happens all the time for basically any game that has official modding tools, it's not a big deal at all

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. x will be competing so hard for bandwidth in the venue it's currently in that people won't be asking, people will be telling you a new thread/forum needs to be made and they won't be alone. until you hit that point you're just going to be dooming a bunch of subjects to inattention death because you have yet another listless thread or plodding forum where nothing happens.

I am fine with people just posting threads. Those sorts of threads will get a lot of traffic when they're happening and drop off when they're not, which is fine.

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.

I think you can start lots of threads with the latest juicy cyber athlete drama. I'm sure a bunch of them are really into dogfighting and spousal abuse.

There could be threads about your favorite esports athletes, foods to eat while watching esports, and ways to get cozy and comfortable watching esports. Hell theres subforums for just one sports (football, soccer if i recall correctly), and esports encompasses all sorts of sports.

in related news, there is an entire subforum for talking about motorcycles, and i guess a dozen people who read it

A weekly viewing thread for various FGC tournaments, as well. A thread for sharing classic moments in eSports, maybe some threads about the history of various scenes, etc.

The soccer forum is just a bunch of people pretending to be British and saying You wot mate? Phwoar what a strike. for 28 hours every weekend. So I don't see how an eSports forum would be any different except everyone would pretending to be black.
