GameRager: To allow my playthrough to reach a more targeted/wider audience? I am guessing i'd get more views(allow more people to see the playthrough, for a good reason.....not to get attention/etc.) here then in a sub-forum.
To get a more targeted audience. We have game-specific forums for that reason.
GameRager: Because these threads clutter the general forum? Mainly because I'd rather not have people starting the bad habit of posting game-specific threads in the general forums. The same reason why when someone posts "Hey I am having a problem running (GAME X THAT GOG SELLS), I generally hop in and say, "Hey, ask that question in the relevant sub-forum."
It's a matter of encouraging people to route their posts to the appropriate location. ;)
GameRager: Because I spoil the game(by posting screenshots)? No, I'm pretty sure if you wander into a playthrough thread and then shout "Hey! Spoilers!" you pretty much deserve what you get.
GameRager: Also what about games GOG doesn't sell that I do playthroughs for which don't have a subforum?
If you're gonna make a habit of doing playthroughs of games GOG.com doesn't sell? I'd say the best option is to make one thread "GameRager's Shack of Playthroughs" and update that one.
