Any chance for one?  Just asking.  There's one game that I like a lot, and it's probably the only one of mine that would fit into the norm of gaming here, and it's made by Ion Storm.

Is there any reason why it can't be discussed under general gaming?

Pardon, I thought this was the suggestions section.  It does say "Feedback," doesn't it?

Another reason would be that there is an Ion Storm logo up there on the banner, and there is a section for every other icon (i.e. id, Monkeystone).

I would think it would be because there wouldn't be a large enough user base for it to sustain on it's own, which is why it would be included on the General gaming section. Also, I think the reason the current ones are up there are because Mr Romero created a lot of products while working there. In comparison with Ion Storm, he only created one, Daikatana, which already has it's on section.

That's fair enough.  I'd rather receive a response like that instead of an excuse.  I don't care for excuses, I care for results.

I made no excuse. I asked a reasonable question. If you want a new forum created I need better reasons to do so than "I want". You gave no reason, so I asked for one.

I did give other reasons, if you read my short thread carefully:

1) There's an Ion Storm logo on the banner, so it must mean something.

2) I know that the game/the company fits into the norm here.

That logo means John has developed games with them. It's not a reason to have an ION forum. There is an id forum on this board because so many people talk about id games so much here - the amount of activity justifies it. We have a Monkeystone forum because Monkeystone is 'current' for John. Reasons based on how much use or worth an ION forum would be are what will make the difference. I'm not saying 'no'. I'm just saying 'convince me', and so far you're not.

I think an ION forum would be inactive, I don't think it would interest John overly, and since we cover the one game from ION John put his heart into with a dedicated forum I think another one would be gratuitous.

Don't forget that I was just asking if there was any chance for one.  I'm not trying to press the matter, nor am I trying to convince you - was I just wondering if it would be a good idea.

Yeah, that's cool - asking is fine, and I thought that by asking for reasons to do what you wished I was making it clear that I wasn't saying no, but I wasn't saying yes either.

Basically you can request anything you like for the board and it will be considered based on the merits of the request. It won't be declined or approved until all the pros and cons have been weighed. To do that we need to air all those pros and cons, hence me asking for the good reasons you perceived. I see very few you see, and I'm well aware that I'm not omnipotent, so I wanted to hear what you considered the positives of an ION forum to be, in case you'd hit on something I'd missed. It appears that you haven't, so the answer is not at this stage.

If you think of something else to support your suggestion, or have another suggestion, backed with good reasons of course, feel free to post them here. They *are* welcome  

Also, feel free to discuss any ION games you wish to in the general gaming forum, and if the users pick them up enough maybe we can change the Daikatana forum into an ION one. We'll see how it goes.

I'd like to request hats for all of us. I was thinking a might be able to pull of some kind of Cossack's hat.    

Edit> oh yeah, and the merits are that it would draw more people to this site because I don't know any other forum that provides its members with a hat.

I want a ten-gallon hat, if it's not any trouble.  I've always wondered why it was called a ten-gallon hat, when it probably won't hold half a liter.

When I was alien to American culture at first, I thought the 10-gallon hat was actually named after its ability to hold 10-gallons of water or some other liquid.

Well, Kyuna, as Daikatana was the ONLY game developped by John at Ion Storm, you can talk about IS in the Daikatana forum
