To be frank, if you took out the guides and item lists and RIG threads, there wouldn't be much left in the GCD.
Plot updates, yea every once in a blue moon.
Otherwise it's pretty much nothing but rehashes of the same topic over and over again.
It's true that guides go into that one subforum...but does anyone actually go there? I mean most "guides" usually end up in their respected home forms. Like zOMG and alchemy guides for example.
I see your point, really I do, but I just think it's raising a whole lot of fuss over something, that by in large is more useful and helpful as it is.
I personally think of the GCD as gaia's news desk. Anything that goes on, happens gets talked about here, but then there's social things and ect, just like the a real newspaper in a way.
They're useful, yes. They bring activity to the subforum, yes. However, there is a subforum dedicated to guides. If the RIG guides were moved to the GGR, it would bring activity back to that subforum.
The GCD, really should be renamed the GID (I for Item) since this subforum is mostly discussion about items. Frankly, a change needs to be made to bring this subforum back to discussing
community.
I see your point, I do, but I just think Gaia in itself would have to change and well give us something to talk about. You could move all the things your talking about to that subforum and maybe you'd get people to move over there, though I highly doubt it, not without a lot of kicking and screaming along the way.
There's nothing going on in the community, as a whole, to make much of discussion of, to me anyways. Besides events and the rare plot update.
We get the odd experience thread now and again, but they've all been seen and done before for the most part.
So please excuse my frankness, but, what the hell else is there to talk about?
