Most forum "games" are pointless and nobody ever sticks to the rules.

There was never more than 1 forum game a month. "Get this thread to ____ amount of posts and _____ views" weren't games. I don't see a point in having forum games as a sub-forum with 10 stickied topics and the ability to post new topics disabled would get older faster than the literature area. I'd end up being the same 3 people replying to eachother. Oh wait, that was the sandbox too...

I guess you missed the part of my post where I said "get this thread to ____ amount of posts and ____ views" aren't counted as games. People posting "lulzlulzlulz" 20 times aren't playing games.

Ok, counting those out, there were at least one per day.

No, there wasn't. XD And if there was one a day (I could of missed each one), it did not last more than 8 days (1 day + the prune time). The ones that did eventually become popular (10+ posts) were, again, the same three people replying to each other.

Nevertheless, I always thought the Sandbox should be restricted to forum games only and not removed entirely so it could be something to gage.

I think we should have one.

Guessing and hoping we are enough mature to not turn this into a 'Third World War' section.
People grew apart, I think we deserve this forum game section.

I don't see anything wrong with the idea.

Burnt Joint · **Posted:** January 20th, 2009, 10:05 pm

As Anubis said, I don't see anything wrong with the idea, just as long as it's moderated...

fr0styb0w · **Posted:** January 21st, 2009, 10:15 pm

I really like this idea and especially the part about no post count this disables lots of spamming I would think.

Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions on the matter everyone. The forum has been added at the bottom.
