In fact, there has been some talk recently about opening up a general CAG section of the forums, though this is entirely up to JCHarrist (the site admin), and I know he doesn't want a million bajillion subforums ala CAGDC
Just make one Non-DK subforum for all other CAG discussion that isn't DK-related. I'd be hanging out there the most.
I'm the same way. I didn't really leave CAGDC. My primary interest in CAG is DK related and people on CAGDC were complaining that there was too much DK talk. Now there's no DK talk and people are complaining that everyone's going to DKF.
I kinda tuned out of the usual forums for us "high score" types when the discussion began (IMO) to skew way too heavily toward DK at the expense of the several hundred other great games from the era. And this was starting to bug me long before DKF came into existence. It was my hope that after the first Kong Off people would get DK out of their system and we could get some balance back. Well, I was definitely wrong about that.
In fact, it actually annoyed me that a DK-specific forum got created while so many in the hobby ignored all of the other classics, and I kinda ignored this place for the longest time because of that. I also became a truck driver about a year ago, and while I do regional heavy haul and get home far more frequently than a typical long hauler ever does I still have way less personal time than I used to. Getting any free time for CAG is tough, so when I do get free time I don't want it to be all-DK-all-the-time.
Then one day I noticed that most of my friends in the CAG scene hadn't actually disappeared; they'd just migrated elsewhere, many of them here. Ross' blog post about CAGDC was what finally got me to register so I could acknowledge that someone else was finally voicing what I've been telling others for years now. Now I'd just rather forget about that place and get on with it.
So... I understand not wanting dozens of subforums on DKF and I'd be in favor of a Non-DK subforum for all other CAG discussion that isn't DK-related. Or, maybe the answer is for me to just create my own blog and talk about whatever I want there. Maybe I'll do that when I can get the time to get it started. I play lots of games that are not DK-related and I also collect, with a home arcade that's bursting at the seams with 29 uprights. I'd like to share photos of my game room and random other stuff too, but I'm not gonna want to talk about the DK games much.
