For the purposes of the Reverse Gas Chamber Challenge, does DDRD / Imp Zone count as a gray forum? No poll just post your argument why or why not.

The fields where posts are read are gray, OP. For this reason I call it a gray forum, despite the cute background and some of the quirky style choices.

I'm going to say it isn't. It's close to YOSPOS in terms of what is and isn't allowed (though it isn't nearly as lovely) and that is considered by all to not be a gray forum.

Also, there is a style sheet.

We seem to have a blend of FYAD lite and gray forum rules so in the end that's something that you guys will have to decide on...

But a reverse gas chamber challenge sounds like fun so we can at least try it out.

Arguments against gray forum:

Much looser moderation than Games

Not everything is a Mega thread like games (even though in Games' rules thread it says that "megathreads are bad" lol)

Different style sheet

Arguments for gray:
Stricter rules than other FYAD lites

Gray posting background like other gray forums

I think this forum is more of a FYAD-lite and not a gray forum, but I also don't see why it can't be used for the Reverse Gas Chamber Challenge.

I think sending a thread to YOSPOS might be different than sending it straight to SH/SC though (one place is much more used to generally nice/courteous posting) and that might be the crux of the Gas Chamber Challenge. That's Ralp's deal though so I could be wrong.

The problem I see here is that Games is basically only populated with Megathreads; a gas chamber challenge wouldn't really fit there unless it's "[INSERT GAME] MEGATHREAD [INSERT CRAPPY TITLE]". If people want to discuss gaming without megathreads they come here, I've noticed, so maybe a gas chamber challenge would be better suited here.

Yeah, this imo.

or rather any non-fyad non-byob, since fyad has their own personal gas chamber and byob allows basically any kind of garbage no matter what

Well we already get some of GBS's garbage so I don't think this matters in the case of Imp Zone.

The answer to whether or not this is a "gray forum" isn't black and white. It seems to me to be more of a "gray" area.
