Why was the Video Games forum buried?

No, I suppose it doesn't have to, but it's always preferable when it does. It's nice to have a reason and it's even better for that reasoning to be consistently applied. 

I disagree with this change because I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Here's why (I'll keep it short):

1.) Among the Games subcategories, two are dedicated to message board games, one is dedicated to puzzle games like sudoku, one as a catch-all category, and one to a multi-billion dollar media industry with multiple genres, platforms, and levels of technology. No offense to the other categories but one of these things is just not like the other.

Let me put it this way: Sports could also be sub-categorized under Games, as they are also games, but I suspect some would balk at that. For starters, you don't play sports on a message board; you discuss sports. Most of those forums are dedicated to playing games on the boards. Sports also entail a specific, yet very broad sort of gaming that is distinct from say, message board trivia. The exact same things could also be said for video gaming. It is a distinct form of media-- just as, say, comic book discussion is distinct from both art and books-- and it deserves its own place among the General discussion forums. The medium has certainly earned it considering its mass appeal. I mean, even Wrestling has a General discussion page.

2.) If the focus of the site was the general boards (I presume you mean to preserve them), then why move it at all? It was part of the general boards for, what, maybe a decade or more? It was also one of the more active forums of the bunch. Why not just keep it there?

I mean, I wasn't even a regular there and I had to question why it was relocated. It seemed an odd decision.

Thanks. 

Feel free to send any complaints my way. I'll take it.

And good luck to you, man. It can't be an easy task.
