I say it's time to close up the ol' crysis sub-forum

[mojoman0]

ah man I don't even have my copy yet! This summer hopefully with a new card

[tornadog]

no leave it open as one of the most hyped up failures in modern pc gaming history

[Madpistol]

I think this forum has run it's course. It's time to shut it down unfortunately. :(

[agentkay]

Close it and the stupid console forum at the same time as well. :udawg:

And bring console trolls into the sacred PC Gaming section? Are you insane? :wtf:

No, the trolls should be banned for life instead. ;) But I always wondered whats the purpose of a console section on a PC hardware forum/site in the first place. Sure Nvidia makes the GPU for the PS3 but other than that it doesn't fit in but hey, I don't care, I don't post/read it there anyway. :p

Assimilation!!!! :p


and yea... that would suck.

[Retrolock]

Nah don't close this section. It'll be a big **** you to the Crysis haters. :D

[Revs]

I say no. Maybe have a spring clean and get rid of the crap, but there's alot of useful stuff in there. Maybe people aint posting in there but there's always a load of guests browsing.

I don't think MikeC will ban Magus, Zelda_fan and Xion X2 :p

[SeriTonin]

Ironic that this thread is the only active thread in the crysis sub forum tho, maybe EA paid off MikeC too?

I doubt it. Crysis sub-forum is a boom for SEO and getting nVnews more traffic.

I don't even post in the crysis forum. This is my first post in the crysis sub form matter of fact.

It generated and still does more traffic and posts than the MMORPG forum.

Then the mmorpg forum must be dead.. And I didn't nvnews was worried about hits to sub-forums unrelated to hardware. I understand the mentality behind it, just a bit surprised. Obviously the people who frequent here and keep this place going have no say.

It's all about the money, honey. ;)

More page impressions = more chances of ads getting clicked

Yes, I read your post. My point was why are you surprised? After a while, running a good website becomes a business, and you do whatever it takes to make profits in business.

[crainger]

In November. So its around 6 months old now.

LOL I was there. If you remember I had it a couple days before you guys because it came out early over here. ::D:

Because first and foremost this is a HARDWARE site, the focus on business and traffic should be hits and clicks based on HARDWARE.

Secondly, I don't see the game giving them that much business, considering it's 6 month's old, and pretty much dead, where do you draw the line? I'm mean technically speaking, 19 years from now someone is gonna google crysis, so it stays for 19 years or what?

The sub-forum obviously isn't going anywhere, so rather than turning this into an argument, I say a mod just close this thread. Failed attempt, I accept the defeat.

[ASUSEN7900GTX]

well close it then adn we post screens from crysis in the regular screenshot thread as maps will be prodused new tweaks and new shots

so close this thread
i´m pretty sure with or without this tread crysis will be discussed in game forum anyway as people still play it

that´s my thoughts so no matter if this thread get´s closed shots of crysis will emerge anyways adn questions and stuff at least what i think

I agree. However, look at forums like NeoGAF, HardForum and such. They receive so much traffic. Forums are a great way to SEO-optimise your site. There's only so much hardware/software you can review.

I wouldn't know. My best bet is maybe 1 year?

For what it's worth, I thought this was a good suggestion.
