<div class="IPBDescription">can we have one?</div>would free up the general discussion for general discussions, and also it wouldnt clog the ideas and suggestions area

I guess they wanna keep part of the discussion in general like before when they refused to create a mapping forum : But yes, at least one sub forum might help and I just hope I don't have to register somewhere else for bugreports..
Or perhaps we will continue to use Get Satisfaction, you know that 'feedback' thing on the side of your screen. But never know maybe we'll get a bug sub forum again. =]
I don't really see the need for any Alpha sub-forum. Any general alpha related chat will fit the NS2 General Discussion and the devs propably have some kind of bug & issue tracking system ready for bug reports and feature requests.
I'd prefer it if they'd make a sub forum for alpha discussions (2 actually - general discussion and bugs&issues) where only alpha players could post, and everybody else could only read the messages.
This because i know they have an open development process, where there probably won't even be a NDA for alpha testing. But if you stick with the same forums you'll mix the oppinions of those who have actually played alpha, and those who have yet to play it. Not that oppinions are right or wrong but those who will have played it will atleast have a slightly more informed oppinion.
It's hard to explain it all politically correct like for me but i do think that would be the way for this game. Afterall, if anybody who's not in alpha sees an alpha thread they absolutly want to reply to they can make a reference thread in the general discussion.
While i dont care much about general discussion, a Bug Forum is absolutly nessesary. This way several people can track down a single bug, means alot more detailed feedback.

*shudder*
It is slow, annoying and <b>not</b> a bug tracking system and it requires secondary login credentials. Epic. Fail.
