Default Do Games need their own section?

After posting in Feature Requests, Webby asked me to create a Poll on whether Videogames based threads have increased so much as to require their own home.

Videogaming's popularity has increased enormously to the point where threads on the subject are flooding the Computer Related section to the point where non-gaming subjects are in the minority, so anyone with a problem trying to get Windows to behave itself can quickly find their thread on page 2.

So, should Gaming be given its own home?

YUp - there should be General gaming discussion and Technical Questions.

I guess it could be useful, but the forum isn't really fast moving enough for posts to get lost that quickly IMO. I know its been a weekend, but there are 3 days worth of threads on page 1 at the moment.

When the CS clans were on here it was a different matter, but lets not drag that up again

I think it's probably a good idea but also feel it doesn't move that fast in here to cause too many problems.

If the gamers went off in their own section computer related would die a death.

Dont think enough traffic in this forum to split up so keep as it is.

BTW I just counted posts on the 1st page and 20 of them are non game related (inc questions about console hardware as thats not specifically about games) compared to 6 about games.
