:hmm: I suspect that they're together because essentially they're the same game. Well, about 90% of SH4 is the same as SH3.:rotfl:
Anyhow, they're still the same franchise so it makes sense to keep them together. But I do know what you mean.
What I have noticed though is that the SH3 forums are still as active as they always were and how many new people have started playing SH3/GWX lately?
Neal & Co are probably waiting to see how it all pans out. I wouldn't mind if the SH4 forum was separate, that way I could hide it.:p
