Forum question: Why no GRID or DiRT1/2 subforums?

JenkinsTR · Nov 19, 2010

Title pretty much says all... Recently i have been modding GRID, adding ALL cars to demolition derby mode, plus adding more (hopefully ALL soon) tracks to the same game mode.

I also started an EGO Engine Modding Wiki, documenting things that i learnt while modding.

Am i to understand that the only sub forums here are for games you guys run tournaments for? Or is it because of popular demand or something?

Just curious lol

My guess would be that they're not really sims, there's no dedicated server support, so no organized multiplayer races, so not many people here are interested in it.

Alright thanks man... I guess i kinda figured that anyway.. :/

Actually i have a suggestion then;
Make a sub forum that covers every other racing game that doesn't have it's own sub forum.
I love simulation racing games as much as i love arcade fictional type racing games.
Even a "Misc Racers" or something to that effect might be more popular than you would expect, i'm not sure though i haven't been here long enough to see what kind of demographic of racers you have visit here.

Anyways cheers for the answer

so as not to waste a new thread! can i ask why for f1 2010/11 you have a - The Game next to it, it really doesn't look right, F1 2010 looks far better, my opinion though! lol!

Bram Hengeveld · Nov 24, 2010

because thats the title for the game

Joe Bough · Nov 24, 2010

It just says Formula 1 2010 on my box, the website it's hosted on is F1-The Game!

Thousands of people found their way to our F1 2010 The Game forum the last months so I think it's pretty okay

Secondly renaming forums has a serious impact on SEO

I don't want to start a whole new thread to ask, but seeing as we currently have a DiRT3 subforum, I am wondering if there was ever a DiRT 2 subforum, or only the official DiRT2 thread in the "other games" forum.
