As I see it, the games that can be modded, people will want 3D models made and posting in one game section and hoping for someone to see it is pretty slim, where as a main place with dozens of requests would be more visible and more action would happen there. I think it's pretty much a no-brainer.

The problem I see with this is attracting the attention of modders. From what I've seen, most of the people in the Games forums tend to stay there and don't venture out much. I'm not sure they'd be able to easily find the subforum.

For the first part, you can do that by leaving a visitor message with such an image. For the second part, the old attachment system displayed how many times an attachment had been viewed. Currently you can only see how many times one of your own attachments has been viewed by going here. Unfortunately, I don't know when the attachment system will be back online.

Remove the forums for games that no one posts in. It will make the place seem more active.

Remove the reputation nonsense. It encourages "groupthink" where those who don't go along with the politically correct opinion get negative rep. Never used properly.

Mostly true, but some people still like it. So just disable reputation and let others have their fun.

The problem is that many of those forums are attached to sites which are active. They're tied together. We're trying ways of merging them together, but it's certainly not a simple task.

There are those that hate it when it's here then cry when it's gone. I'm not saying you are, simply stating that people miss what is taken away from them. I've seen it abused and used properly, it's just something that needs to be monitored from time to time.

That was already brought up in meetings. The issue is advertisers don't like subscription or donation models that remove them from being seen to users. Right now, we cannot have such an option. :/

Well what about having donation and subscription modules that only remove certain ads. Like the ones that roll up on the screen or the one's that highlight a word.
