Uh... I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude. But honestly, this is getting ridiculous. I'm going to repeat this one more time. So I'm sure no one is missing what I have said. We have tried merging sections before. Many times. You've been among those who always suggested merging them to increase activity and it's ALWAYS had the exact opposite effect. I'm sorry, but you don't exactly have a good track record of getting this particular consequence correct. It's always precisely the opposite you claim it's going to be and you keep suggesting it the next time despite it not working the any of the previous times.Breaking down the Zelda sections, while making things look nice and neat, do have a way of just killing the activity on all of them equally. It's partly not completely knowing what section to place X thread, and part just dropping everything into General Zelda because do not care enough to really bother discovering where it should go. So having a General Zelda, and an Upcoming Zelda that is retitled as soon as we learn it seems to work out best. We have played around with things like a division between Modern Zelda, Handheld Zelda, Classic Zelda etc.
My Ideal has always been
Zelda
General Zelda
Upcoming Zelda/WiiU
Game that have released within the last 2 years (TP HD/HW/TFH) Each could be their own section

Still, a slightly more streamlined method of dividing up the main series games could be done. But it generally adds confusion. Like people not knowing where classic ends and modern begins etc.
Thing is, lots of people among the staff want perfectly clean streamlines and everything kept in a single section without questions. Their last answer was to keep it all in a single section and then make a hard requirement of thread tags labeling each and every game. I hated those tags.
Given how the existence of this forum is being threatened by low activity, I don't see the harm of abandoning the traditional assumption of mergers = more activity. Because it clearly doesn't do that. Honestly, what's the harm in trying it for a while? It's not like things can get worse. We are essentially being shut down for being too inactive. Regardless of what anyone wants to call it.
