I bet it's CD-R. Stuffed animals also attracted spammers.

Yup, I concur.

I also think the 'challenge' question needs to be changed and have stated this before. I think some of these spammers are people making a penny per post or something, not bots. As I said before, at least change it to some simple game related question that people will know or only takes 2 seconds of googling. I think some spammers would just move on to an easier 'target' like skipping the car or house that's locked or has an alarm.

You might be right but I did see 3-4 posts from spambots pertaining to the topic of d*ath earlier today.

Should we have an Atari sub-forum, or just catch all Atari-related discussion in the existing "Other Platforms" sub-forum?

I dont think Atari stuff gets talked about enough to justify its own sub-forum.

If not its own category, maybe put Atari name in the Description under Other Platforms? It was the biggest console of its era.

Bringing up an old request - Separate Sony and Microsoft?
The biggest three game companies Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony should each have their own sub forum, they get most of the posts.

Too many older Threads to move
Since Sony has more systems with a longer history and maybe more posts, perhaps rename Sony and Microsoft sub forum to just Sony and make another sub category for Microsoft? Leave the older Microsoft related Threads where they are at except key ones that have good info, move as a Mod sees fit.

The argument for collapsing them is that they aren't generally considered retro (though I suppose the PS1 is now) and they have an extremely high amount of shared titles.

I still vote for seperating them -- we have a lot of console specific talk that goes on in there, retro or not.

I assume for instance that big Xbox fans get tired of wading through various PSP threads that they have no interest in.
