I think we need something to discuss other than the analyses. I mean, once someone has seen most or all the analyses, there's not much to do for that person here. I know you didn't intend to go big or anything, but still... A bit more activity would be nice wink.gif
You've already created "The Trashcan" so there must be a small part in you that wants to socialize and discuss other things than the moveset analyses.

Not saying that discussing those analyses is bad, it's wonderful, I'm just trying to say that aside from those moveset analyses, it might be nice to have something else that we could discuss.

Also, the "Individual Moveset" forum needs to be less dead, but there's not much you can do about that I think tongue.gif

Good point, and yes, there is something in me that wants to expand this board.
Thing is, I'm not really sure if it's the smartest thing to do. We have lots of analyses to be finished as it is now; making something like an RMT sub-forum (just naming an example) only distracts people from those analyses.
I can't agree with you more though, when you say this board doesn't offer much food for discussion other than the moveset analyses. I'd love some concrete suggestions here, like ideas for sub-forums or something like that, but keep in mind at all times, that moveset analyses have top priority here and I'd like to keep it like that.

Like smogon's discussions were before they were adding their analyses?

I lol'd.

Anyway, I can make a forum for that and just let you guys discuss whatever you want. It at least adds something else that can be discussed here. Can't say this enough, but remember though that I'd like to keep movesets the main attribute of this board.

I think a place for the discussion of the different metagames present in Pokemon could be a good idea.

Examples off the top of my head:

~Uber
~Standard
~UU/BL
~NU
~Little Cup
~Double Battles
~3 vs 3

Actually, I was just thinking the same thing as CKY. Perhaps making a board in the Metagame discussion forum to discuss the different metagames, and having someone make an all-encompassing thread for each tier/metagame?

Actually, Ruesap's idea sounds better.

Individual topics, rather than making a lot of separate boards.

I'll add sub-forums about the metagames CKY mentioned.

On a second note though, that is going to take up way too many space. A forum for each metagame individually clogs up the entire "Metagame Discussion: General" category. I could make a forum about "Alternate Metagames Discussion" and just let you create topics and specify in the topic title which metagame you're discussing, but creating an entire forum for each and every one of them is too much.
