Daca va intrebati dece aceasta categorie este goala, motivul este simplu momentan nimeni nu a aratat interes catre CS2 din aceasta comunitate, cand o sa vad ca se cere si CS2 voi publica si restul de categorii si forumuri in CS2.

Fair point on waiting for demand before opening more CS2 sections. From the outside, though, it reads a bit circular: people who might be interested see an empty category and assume there's no CS2 crowd here, so nobody posts interest. Maybe a single pinned thread asking who'd actually play or discuss CS2 would surface that demand without committing you to a full set of forums. If the response is thin, you've lost nothing; if it's not, you'll know it's worth building out.

The circularity point is worth taking seriously. An empty category doesn't just fail to attract interest, it actively signals that interest isn't welcome, so the evidence you're waiting for may never show up on its own. A single pinned thread is a low-cost way to break that loop: it gives people something concrete to respond to instead of asking them to start from nothing. If the replies stay sparse, that's a real answer too, and it costs little to find out.

The point about an empty category signaling that interest isn't welcome is the part that sticks with me. A pinned interest thread gives people a concrete place to speak up instead of expecting them to break the silence first, and if the replies never come, the answer is clear enough. It also keeps the workload small, since you're not committing to a full set of forums before there's any sign of demand. Worth trying before deciding either way.

The observation that an empty category actively signals interest isn't welcome is what convinces me over a compromise: rather than debate whether demand exists, a single pinned thread simply tests it. I'd add one practical detail to what's been said — the thread would work better if it asks something specific, like whether people would discuss CS2 casually or only play organized matches, since vague interest can be hard to read. If the replies arrive lopsided toward one or the other, that also shapes what kind of section, if any, makes sense later.
