Some stories can fit in more then just one category, so I think that it would be a good idea to allow that.
Well my penis can only fit in one hole, so you gotta choose the best one.
Yeah, that's the best way I can describe it.
Did you know that in some species of squid, the females have no sperm receptacle orifice, so the male just makes an incision and ejaculates wherever he wants?
On topic, I think it might get too confusing if the same story appeared in multiple categories. I think multiple Tags could be applied to a story to explain/describe it, but it's better for site design if it only appears in one location.
...Um, no.
And Seth, very interesting. You've done so I presume.
Right, the story shows its main genre (and that's the category it's in on the front page) but you can also have the secondary genres as tags.
JJJ what are you talking about? I mean...FAIL!!! Why spend time programming the site to remove the categories when ulimately genre categorization is very important? How are new guests and readers going to find stories of their favorite genre? By searching the genre's tag? WELL THAT'S WHAT THE CATEGORIES ARE!!! A list of the games with the "tag" of the genre!
How is Terra Proxima Everything Else? Where did you get that?
I never said the Tag system was bad, I was saying why are the genre categories useless? Ultimately it's necessary and the lists on the front page are a quick way for new members and whoever else to find a game in that genre. Tags are great! Why are category lists not?
Look JJJ, here's what I'm saying we do:
We would have the genre categories as well as the top stories category, and then once you're at the genre category screen, you could type in or select tags to filter further the list of stories. If the person wants to filter through all stories on the site, they can do that - we'd have a feature for that at maybe the top of the categories page.
Now are you saying that there's no point for a genre tag? At least allow the person to have a more general filter.
Alright, yeah. That's a cool idea. But why not have those starter categories for new players? You know, default Zombie Adventure playlist for example.
PMS?!?!!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
Anyway, the playlist idea is cool. And we'd have starter playlists that you could overwrite.
Categories are nice for showing a wide variety of featured stories. If we went strictly to tags, there'd only be the top stories.
For example, some of the featured stories in L&D are not "Top Stories" for the site, but if you want L&D, at least it shows you what we've got.
