I like to look for news and rumors, but everything is a freaking Kickstarter thread.

Can they get their own sub-forum instead?

I'm inclined to agree. There are 11 KS threads taking up the news forum right now. It makes it hard to find threads that have actual news on them.

KS's are fine and dandy, but it's not really the kind of information that is traditionally posted in N&R. I could understand a single post stating that a new KS is up, but that thread gets bumped back to the top EVERY time someone says a damn single line about it.

I think that kickstarters are becoming so proliferate that they necessitate their own subforum. Every week there is at least one more started up. I'd prefer to not have to go to Warseer just to see relevant GW news and rumors.

News of a miniatures-related Kickstarter is no less newsworthy than News of a miniatures-related pre-release, or an unsubstantiated rumour of something that might, maybe, one day be released.

Once you start categorising News by type, the forum very quickly becomes fragmented and nobody can find anything.


For reference, the previous (one of them, anyway) discussion on this.
