Dev Responses

[Phenidate]

It also gives more attention to the nonsensical bickering that seems to go on a lot in "general discussion".

Its almost exactly that reason I hate to post there.

Really I get the feeling that all the popular and most discussed topics are mostly in General because everyone sees that the developers mostly respond in that forum.
The thought process likely being "I only see them post replies in there, and never see them in the correct forum. Therefore I will post incorrectly in the General Discussions folder"

How it ended up there was probably a subtle shift, because back when the forums first started it wasn't like that.

If more devs started responding here and not just in one forum most of the time I'm sure discussions would pick right back up where they belong.
