Is there any possibility of, instead of having a hub which tends to get abused and have lots of unpleasant things on it (Namely DBZ, but that's sure to change eventually), maybe having a hub system that comes with dreamseeker that works more like the pager? I mean, instead of getting a listing of all games live, you have access to the complete listing elsewhere and you can just add games to your list that you want to know about. If a game with that name comes on the games live listing, then they're shown as live from the "Hub Pager". Would that be a possibility?

another possiblity would be to make the hub into categories once again.

we currently have the action/rpg/strategy/other

but we could have more categories under each of those categories. and all the dbz games could be under one category.

then when searching the hub, you could just rule out that category, and you wouldnt have to look at all the dbz games.

That's not the point, I want to be able to assign what I see on my hub listing (from Dreamseeker). Spliting the hub into sepperate sections would only make it harder to see what's on.

Man, you're picky...I like idea of listings for things like Anime/Sci-fi/Classics etc..

I like it to be customizable, then I don't have to care whether I'm picky or not.

I think Dantom might be working on something vaguely along these lines... dunno the details. At any rate, they're working on something.

Yes. We plan to make the DS pager give you access to Live! listings. Things will also fall into user-defined categories, or "channels". This is in fact our main prioirty development at the moment, so you'll hear many more details in the upcoming weeks.
