Well, here's why. Aemon Send a noteboard - 16/01/2010 07:46:34 PM
I posted an topic survey a while back, asking if people wanted new categories. I left it up for at least a week, and had just 8 unique responders, with only ONE PERSON requesting some sort of card game category. There just wasn't hardly any interest. Furthermore, the vast majority of posts on this board are about video games. The few that aren't range from tabletop games, to board games, to CCGs, to whatever. As it is, we have a miscellaneous category that very nicely catches those sorts of posts. I see no reason to implement five new categories just for the sake of catching a post or three each. I don't want categories just for the sake of having categories. Topics are useful so that people can quickly find posts they're interested in. For the time being, I think that miscellaneous serves that purpose perfectly well.

HOWEVER. If you disagree, find some people that agree with you! Ben said he's perfectly willing to add more categories if I asked him to, and if there are people who want them, I'll do that. When I asked people, though, no one gave a crap. Until they do, the categories aren't going to change.

I'm not interested in hanging around 14-year-olds just for a small possible win. - 18/01/2010 11:28:35 PM 789 Views
I've never attended myself, but I believe they're all in their 30's or late 20's. *NM* - 19/01/2010 02:11:09 AM 377 Views
Even more depressing. *NM* - 20/01/2010 01:32:21 AM 390 Views
I imagine most of the player base is in those ranges. *NM* - 20/01/2010 02:31:11 AM 310 Views

I got to see some of my old friends re-made. - 16/01/2010 02:24:15 PM 670 Views
It's really because my friend doesn't have the old cards. - 18/01/2010 01:26:51 PM 712 Views

A decent reason: to encourage more discussion *NM* - 18/01/2010 07:07:09 PM 402 Views
"oh look! they added a card catergory!!" - 18/01/2010 10:12:40 PM 726 Views
That is indeed a decent reason, it's just not a realistic one. - 19/01/2010 01:55:51 AM 584 Views

I'm just starting Magic, and would like opinions on my deck. - 18/01/2010 08:35:14 PM 760 Views
Here's something that might help - 19/01/2010 12:34:20 AM 915 Views
It was indeed helpful, but What I didn't get was how are life giving spells bad? *NM* - 19/01/2010 07:58:56 AM 333 Views
Mainly because they don't go any way towards beating your opponent - 19/01/2010 08:33:46 AM 885 Views
It does make sense. - 19/01/2010 09:09:59 AM 604 Views
