As for the, more or less dead, game specific forums I think things around here is in need of a UI change. It's just too much of a hassle to search for the right forum instead of having all relevant forums in a clickable list with notifications when there's a new thread etc. I'd love to see a bit more life in the game specific forums.

Lot of those would be sparse and barely populated. Look at the game subforums....

Some People Like GOG. But Let's Face It - You Might Be The Only One That Thinks That The General Forums Need Sub-Forums.

When it comes to the forums, I think the GOG Search really needs to be updated. It's still incredibly limited and it would be nice if one could use boolean logic.

Did tinyE get banned again? I thought he'd be here by now.

At most I would agree with a "not gaming forum" but I haven't seen the need since I joined GOG. I'm not even a fan of the non-English forum even if I might have posted in the French (my first language) one in the past.

I think this was one of the first posts I made on the GOG forum. Nothing came of it, and I got over it. :P

I would prefer a more customizable way of filtering threads based on words or users, that way people can filter however they wish (or not at all).

The main reason ; is the following ;
since the new layout, game specific subforum is no more automaticaly added when you buy a new game.
so new users since this choice was taken , are not really aware of the existence of those.
best example : was when Witcher 3 went out. .... ;S
so before saying it's not really populated, it would be good to find the reason.
There's no point to create a topic for a game issue or whatever related , if there's a game specific forum -_-
GOG forum lacks visibility / organization; and i agree with the OP.
