Hi, I'm Lilithvia; I run the WC3 megathread. We recently have celebrated our 2000th post, and are on page 54 (40ppp). Recently, moderators in the video games subforum have stopped responding to my requests to have WC3 threads in their forum merged to the megathread, and it's a rather pain in the ass to get any moderation outside of Aucald to do something, so I'm requesting we get our own forum with moderators that will actually do something when the need arises.
In addition, we are in dire need of a forum because users are often getting infracted for posting videos they have made in the WC3 megathread, where if we had a thread for such videos, it would not be an issue, and I'm pretty sure people who enjoy ladder play don't want to see people talking about mapping and modding, as well.
I'm also finding myself having to crosspost news that Chaud has posted (and it's a pain in the ass to do so) and that Wowhead posts (also pain in the ass to do), and I've got to beta test the game and report back on things I find, as well.
In addition, the thread has started a few traditions, such as active posters using WC3R portraits, and we've had a number of users make accounts just to post in our lovely thread. I think a forum would be an amazing Christmas present for us.
In short, we really need a forum.
