It would also make it easier to browse for stuff when you're trying to find that one post from a while back that was for a certain console you were interested in...
Those who search will search. Those who don't, won't. Most members catch on to our repeat topic policy pretty fast, I think.

I understand that it would make things easier to browse for old posts (I do it all the time and yes, it is frustrating), but I don't know if the reward would be worth the price.

Yeah, what he said.
I think the PS1 is retro now. So lets give Sony its own forum... plus Xbox to me is Dreamcast 2

Splitting Sega and nintendo into subcategories seems superfluous. Keep it the way it is.

I say keep em the way they are, its nice and simple to navigate, without being over bloated.

Split Microsoft and Sony though as said.

I like having the Sony and Microsoft combined. It sort of forces the two camps to join hands and play nice together. This is one of the few gaming forums that doesn't have much fanboyism and I wonder if that kind of categorization, that it's all just "that next gen stuff" makes it less devisive.
