What if there was a PVE subsection, surely that be okay too? There isn't, which is oddly inconsistent. Do hope that's an oversight. I'm sure it is.

I thought they had been asking for their own (sub)forum for some time?
No, because PvE is a fundamental core feature of the game - it's nigh impossible to avoid.
PvP is entirely optional.
Right, thanks for clarifying; this seems to be a constant source of confusion, so burying it 3 layers deep I'm sure will solve (I don't honestly care either way, but if you are going to break the game into PVE/ PVP, then at least be consistent, argh!). *twitch*
Make a PvE section if you like.
Since, as has been pointed out, PvE is the core of the game I suspect it would be crowded.
And the mods would be busy with the "ganking" of the sub-forum constantly by certain members.
This is encouraging.

The people who play PvE haven't been asking for a dedicated forum for ages. It's not breaking the game up any more than it's breaking it into Alien/Non Alien (The Alien subforum has been in discussions for a long time too). All it's doing is giving a dedicated area for people to talk about things so they don't get lost amongst the tide of Dangerous Discussions.
From the look of the PvP forum they've all shot each other 
PvP seems something you have to practice in-game, rather than chat about in a forum.

Plus I think a lot of PvP discussion takes place elsewhere, where it's not subject to Frontier moderation.
Not necessarily, I think PvE players have been calling for a PvP forum for a while so that we don't have to see the latest gank videos or just generally view posts from a community that seems intent to antagonise others.
But the dancing dog on the last one was cute, really you can't go wrong with dogs!
I think it all depends on for what topics the different forums are exactly about and how the mods handle this. I guess it will take some time to get accustomed.
If the different special topic forums are about very specific questions or discussions about that topic, then Dangerous Discussions could be about more general discussions about topics.
For example a topic about PvP tactics with a Hauler would be in the PvP discussion. A discussion about the effect of PvP on the game population could be in the Dangerous Discussions forum.
A dedicated PvE forum would be a good idea if the forums are used that way.
We will see how this works out.
I thought videos should get posted in the Media sub-forum?
I've got to disagree with that - PvE is fundamental to the game. It would be like having a sub-forum for docking
Now THAT is something we need.I've got to disagree with that - PvE is fundamental to the game. It would be like having a sub-forum for docking

Or a thread about "how does mission type XY work" - in a dedicated PvE forum such a thread would have the chance to be longer on the front page.
I agree that PvE is a fundamental part of the game and moving anything that touches PvE looks a bit over the top to me, but specific PvE related questions could get their own forum.
I think theses separated forums only work if they are about specific topics or questions. Everything that is more abstract or general could be in Dangerous Discussions.
The PvE forum is called Newcomers. It also includes Docking
Pretty sure the PVP people didn’t ask for a subforum, but they get one regardless. It’s not whether or not either is relevant, but if you are going to draw lines, at least be consistent. Otherwise it just looks bad. And imho, it looks bad.
Moving on.
That seems to be the idea, yes.

Engineers, because the main topic of that thread would be them, not exploration.
Heh, exploration, because that's where the explorers are
Depends if you're a noun or a verb person!
