[QUOTE=marko river;172656]We already had "new category" ideas. Well subcategories goes for already existing categories.

Someone asked for new category FPS shooters. This could be very well solved with subcategories. Personally, i would like to search for spaceshooters in action or logical-platforms or just platforms in arcade category.

How this shoul be handled? Well, you know that small arrow besides an option, like in yahoo mail, you have reply with this arrow and when you point mouse cursor on this arow new small many drops down.
So, we could have arrows to the right of the existing categories and when you point cursos on them, new small many will appear.

Example: subcategories in Action would be: Brawl, Fighting, FPS shooting, Shooting, Space-shooting, Others
Or tyopes like Scrolling, 3D action etc, but i like the first many better.

And instead of Others, it couls say "action unsorted", so you can get a list of games that don't belong to neither subcategory.

Offcourse, you can still click on Action category and get the list of all action games.

Besides Action, Arcade and Strategy, not to mention Sports, this subcategories will be also very useful for Unsorted category. There you'll have Pinball, Destructive, Unsorted unsorted...  :D

You get the picture. If some category doesn't require subcategories, than it won't have that small arrow.

I just know this is good idea.[/QUOTE]

Sounds Ok... only It might be more simple and less confusing if we keep the categories and add the optional subcategories on that page:

eg:

Adventure : Text based, point and click, fantasy etc...

(List of games as per normal)

That kinda looks like ClipArt's keywords :P

It's a good idea and one that I welcome with open arms. Adventure > Horror. That would save me so much time

I like this idea, though I do see where the problems would lie in sorting certain games. Still, I'm sure it would beat having to go through 8 pages to find the topic you're looking for.

I guess this suggestion remains as a future plan. As the site grows, maybe it won't be exactly like i suggested, but sooner or later something like this will be more than useful.
Guess Kosta and Tom will have something to think about, if they already don't have similar idea.

Well, subcategories should definately be easily accessable. I said my idea for that.

Also, i doub that we need many subcategories. As Seb said, we need this general categories and subcategories will just list similar games. I don't know what to think about his idea that we need only few main categories, since we don't have many of them right now, but text based adventures do fall under adventures.

Easy handling subcategoies, in my guess, won't be confusing, but will make everything much easier instead. And still people won't have to use them if they simplly want to list the games using main categories.

I sign myself under this notion as well.

i agree with shrek, for ex: ultimate manager soccer it is in simulation(and it it is not bad), but it is a sport game, why ihe dasn´t was place in both categories. All sport managers games are simulation and sport. :whistle:
