What do you guys think of the new forums?

[Abriael]

ya ppl are not brain storming ideas they are debating others ideas of being good or bad.

Brainstorming is normally completely useless without discussion. Forums are, by definition, a discussion environment, and discussion can and will include criticism, counterpoints and alternative suggestions.

If SE wanted just brainstorming, the feedback form that we had since the very beginning of the game would have been pretty much sufficent and there would be no reason for a forum at all.

that's , by the way, pretty much the same way in which things work in any normal game development team. If an idea can't survive forum discussion and criticism, you ca be sure it won't survive discussion and criticism between the dev team
