Don't get your hopes up, DC fans. Burying current intermittent discussions in a catch-all feed is not likely to increase topic-specific traffic.

This always bugged me because my link to this site is right to the Marvel forums, but by doing this I often miss out on Marvel news if I forget to check for it.

Wouldn't you increase traffic to a line's forum if the news was within that line's forum instead of the news section?

I too miss new items frequently when they aren't cross-referenced somehow in the old dedictaed discussion areas. This was usually done by a mod or "news staff" user. The Marvel threads are busier so I am sure these get lost in the shuffle more often, but I still don;'t understand why this is in a different area. Same topic / should be same forum.

Subscribing to an interesting thread only works if you have already seen the thread.

There are currently more Marvel fans on this site. The DC users that exist post regularly, but the only really active topics are 6-inch DC Classics and DC Direct figures.

I am a fan of both Marvel & DC, but only collect 6-inch figs. The crowd of 3.75-inch collectors far outweighs the rest of us, and Marvel is the only source for good 3.75-inch stuff. It isn't about passion. It's about metrics.

This move will put the fork in DC metrics.
