Kewpuh sets the direction for the forum, but I'm also happy to talk to anyone who has things to say about Games. Feel free to PM me, as well as about thread titles, tags, etc.

For my part, I'd love to see some more threads that aren't for specific games, but obviously most of the discussion is going to be people talking about the games they are currently playing.

I still honestly think it's kind of weird and unnecessary to have two Fallout 4 threads because at this point they're practically identical.
All the posters in one of the threads are extremely stable.

That bullet point was a whole lot cooler when I thought it was one person reporting every post in the DOTA thread that made an Oppa Gangnam Style joke.

Games might be the most easily trolled forum outside of D&D, and if we banned everyone who made someone sad there would only be two posters left: me and the OP of the Soccer Spirits thread.

Though to be honest, I don't read very many threads so, on this as on pretty much every topic, I might be full of poo poo.
Very few threads stand out as exceptionally good or bad, most are very focused on their respective games.

All games threads are normal, neutral, or medium at very best. Sorry but its just the truth, and I dont know if theres a solution.

Mod-created gang tags aren't really a thing anymore but if you want to attach them to your own avatars go ahead I guess.

Why not move the PYF Little Things In Games & PYF Dragging This Game Down threads from PYF to here?
Because those threads are fine in PYF, and it would be weird to not let PYF talk about games.

A suggestion for the Holiday weekend: would it be possible to sticky all the threads full of details about deals and discounts. Or make a single post with links to all of them and sticky that for awareness. For the frugal gamers.
If someone wants to start a general holiday sale listing thread I'll stick it, but I don't want to stick like four threads.

I posted this last year as well:

Whenever something going on is not discussion based and more interaction based, like watching a speedrunning charity event or watching EVO, is it worth having a subforum built for that? It seems like an easier way to draw attention to those events for people who are already there to peruse other games' events. And it shifts some of the redundant megathreads apart (ie the two huge DOTA2 threads: one for the game itself and one for watching pro matches).

Just a thought.
I am fine with people just posting threads. Those sorts of threads will get a lot of traffic when they're happening and drop off when they're not, which is fine.

Imp Zone is so much better, funnier, and more creative than anything that is ever posted in Games, and whenever people try to be like "Imp Zone sucks so hard" they are inevitably some of the least interesting posters here.
