New sub-forum proposal

While I love the idea of a 'Moan Zone' sub-forum, you know no-one will willingly post into it.
.
I expect most people that you accuse of moaning believe they are providing a major insight into how the game development should go to avoid the game sinking into obscurity and are amazed that there are other players that just don't understand the purity and accuracy of their insights.
.
I loved the recent series of 'Open Letters' to demonstrate that their post is far more important than other posts and invariably go on demand feature X must be implemented before the end of the month or the game will fail and anyone that disagrees is simply wrong with no form of cogent argument being required.
.
The current thread from the supreme fleet commander is pretty entertaining too with all the carefully couched comments trying to avoid moderation.
 
This will never happen for one simple reason - what kind of game developer wants an area of their official forum dedicated to negative feedback/criticism? What kind of message does that send to potential buyers?

I have seen this type of sub forum on other forums...

Really? On an official game forum?
 
are you moaning about moaners?? that's really twisty! :p

No, possibly more perversely, I like the moan threads. I like the whole 'From gods mouth to me (the OP) to you (the forumites)' attitude of the original posts, to the clear surprise of the OP when they are not universally applauded for their incredible insights into how we all feel about the game.
.
The responses we get to explain how we few who actually like the way things are developing are simply wrong and that we cannot possibly be enjoying anything about this completely broken game really make me smile.

The best part is when they can't stop playing the so broken game they want to change.. Sometimes I give them 2 or 3 weeks, but here they are yet, bored, playing a broken game that was doomed and hit by the sales of the not-yet-arrived Christmas.
How do we enjoy a broken game and do they play without enjoying is material for a psychology book.

It's fine, I'm not going to get funny about it.
I am just encouraging the discussion on this point. I would like a healthy forum to peruse whilst exploring the cosmos and every time I visit the top 5 posts are moaning.

9 weeks game play and I still love this game and want to see it and it's communities flourish.
