Besides doing shit like spamming them, we need to try and find alternatives to help #Gaming become about gaming again. I propose that we assign a specific time and day to create a bunch of gaming related, discussion threads in #Gaming in order to push all of the clan and raid threads off of the the front page. We can then continue by either making more of those threads or by replying to the already created threads. Others could also post Max's image (that I have provided above) to notify people who are posting their threads in the wrong forum. Who is with me?
EDIT: I say Friday night at 7:00PM EST sharp we begin the reclamation of #Gaming forum. What everyone should do is make like 3 tabs with Gaming threads ready to be posted. These threads should have actual topics for actual gaming discussion. Then, we can just start filling up the front page and then start having discussions in those threads and any threads we create afterwards. Once we get set up, we can just continue having discussions in the threads and help redirect any threads that manage to slip through the wall.
I need a list of names of people that are willing to help. If you want to help just say "I'm on board" and I'll add your name to the list. Make sure you set a reminder for 9:00 PM EST for this Friday night.
EDIT 2: I'm thinking that I want this to last around a half hour to an hour. Just as long as we can get Destiny threads off the front page for a little while, that is good enough for me. Also, I want these threads to be of actual discussion for gaming. If you cannot think of any, you can bump older threads, comment in some of the newer threads, or try to redirect (politely) anyone who posts Destiny related threads in #Gaming.

Meatspin carpet bomb. It is now the only solution.
-
Maybe we should make a bunch of VoG threads that'd throw em right off
-
I...think this is a great idea. Instead of being angry and turning that into a justification to be a dick to the new people, just drown them out with ON TOPIC threads instead. This is much more proactive then the current alternative, and it actually might make a dent. Plus I won't have to ban anyone. Please, do this instead of the banal spam attacks and personal insults which don't help or make any difference anyway.

I'm in. I was always ready for this.

This thread doesn't belong here. #Gaming is for discussion of games that are not Destiny. Post in #Clans or #Community to find other people to play with, or in #Destiny to discuss Destiny related topics. It would be really appreciated it if you moved this to its appropiate category by changing the tags. Thanks.

Support the Battlefront thread!
-
Who are you to think you can make the forums you want it to be?
-
I'll join this crusade. I purpose we make threads for Arbitur as mod! I saw like 9 topics by him about the CoC, thought it was cool
-
We should use #savegaming so we can find and bump the threads easier.
-
I think we should try every day at the listed time, but make more note of Friday, that way we can try any day of the week but wen can make sure there's a focus on Friday.

I'm down

We should have acted. They're already here. The Elder Threads told of their arrival. The darkness was merely delay Til the time after #Destiny opened, When the posters of #Offtopic would troll their own threads. But no-one wanted to believe. Believe they even existed. And when the truth finally dawns: It dawns in clan requests.

We attack gaming October 9. (Note I am sending this to everybody) Post gaming topics and tell the Desticles to leave (By the way my notifications are broke) I think my pm's still work though Change the date to October 9th
-
My idea is to start using the hashtag #Games and everybody follow it and post there.
-
Thanks to whoever necro'd this. This just proves that nobody can fight stupid. OP is dated Sept 19th. Gaming is still a festering wound filled with nothing but people spamming LFG over and over again. OP's plan to out spam millions of brain dead children has failed. Bungie/Ninjas need to make a LFG subforum, announce that this is where all the LFG posts go, then start moving any LFG posts there and/or banning people who don't listen.
-
Anyone up for another run soon? I got a lot of good ideas for threads, and I really want to talk about games, but I don't want to post them here.

Fight the good fight

I applaud the effort and say hoorah, but in a few weeks time, it will all be over. IGN milked the shite out of its review and finally gave Destiny a still inflated 7.8 today, but that was the last gasp for Bungle to pretend Destiny is anything more than mediocre at best. Mainstream reviewers like AP and the Guardian have been ripping Bungle a new Bungiehole, and this bad rep is spreading like wildfire and will dampen any new influxes of casuals. Even the diehard defenders of the game will go away when they realize Bungle will not be handing out any free content. We are 9 days into an extremely repetitive online-only game and we have a sea of users near or at the level cap. If anything, I would be more worried about what these forums will look like as Destiny dies.

I'm not on that list :(
