I’ll use this thread for a related suggestion that I just thought of:
Unless you’ve been here for awhile and have been consistently following all the discussions, it’s kind of difficult to know what has and has not been already made into a thread. There’s almost a year’s worth of content on here, so I imagine that for some newer people it might be a little overwhelming? It was overwhelming for me at least when I joined, and back then the forum was only a few months old.
I wonder if it might be helpful to have a sticky thread that has links to some of the more notable threads on here, perhaps in categories (e.g. “threads that list games recommendations for a specific system”, “personal projects/write-ups”, “guides for niche hardware/software setups”). This kind of thing would make it a lot easier for people to find older threads, I think.
I suppose a similar effect could be had by adding a whole bunch of tags that are more specific than just “video games” and leaving it to all of us to properly tag our threads — but this wouldn’t help navigating what’s already here, unless someone retroactively tagged the old threads.
There are probably lots of other solutions besides these — I guess the preferred one would depend on how much we’d want it to be maintained and by who — but however it’s done, I think some kind of directory would be really useful. If it helps, I’d be willing to volunteer myself to go through old threads and make a preliminary list of important seeming ones. Or someone could just make a thread where everyone posts their suggestions.
