Exactly. Don't know for sure is it better, but looks more professional, like we have exact category and sub-category for every game. Seb already said where to put some categories as sub-categories.
There can't be many categories: Action, Adventure, Educational, Logical, Platform, Simulations, Sports and Strategies (and maybe Misc but it could fall under Logical)
That's the way i see it.
Perhaps Board, Crypt and Unsorted can remain. That way we won't reduce number of main categories but it new selction will be final.
I also think that it would be easier to find game (that's how i got the idea in the first place). Using subcategories you can get more specific sub-category or simply click on main category if you want to see them all.
Some games can fall more than just one category and we'll probablt have problems determining where to put them, but one game can simpley appear in two categories. But, this is exception.
Also, it will became easier to find only fighting games, or side-scrolling, FPS and so.
It is lot of work but once it is done you (as the site grows) it would be easier in the future to handle categories. If someone invents a completly new category of games it will simply fall as new subcategory in existing ones, so no big changes will be made.
We obviously have problems with existing categories as our site grows and problems will become bigger. We surely need new way of sorting and this is just a suggestion.
If you admins finally agree with it, i'll be glad to go determinate exact sub-category for every game on the site, as i think it would be fair for me to do.
