This is just an idea I had. I think that it would be a good idea to create a "Forum Games" child board under General Discussion. There are so many forum game threads, so having one of these would make it easier to find them.
-
There are already many forum games going on in the Offtopic thread.
-
Moved, but I think it being under offtopic would be better.
-
I'd like to bump this suggestion, as it didn't really get much attention or discussion.
I still think this is a good idea, It'd be useful to have the forum games in offtopic filtered from the other general offtopic posts. Some offtopic threads aren't getting much notice because of forum games constantly being bumped.
-
Great idea, I agree with the suggestion!
-
I feel it would be used for people to spam and attempt to boost their post count although no one cares the amount of posts a user has but I feel if it was given its own forum it would be misused

who knows being under the off-topic forum maybe the games thread wouldn't add to the post count

That's right, post count will be disabled, it only makes sense.

I think this would be a good idea, as the offtopic section is overflowing with games and many other topics get pushed aside as even more forum games are made and existing ones are constantly bumped. thank you xdeekay for bumping this
-
If this was to be implemented could we transfere all of the games currently under offtopic into the child board.

That would be hard.

If this were to be implemented, I'd say that only a few active topics would be moved over (threads from page 1 and 2)
A similar thing happened with the 'Trade Central' when it was first made, only new-ish threads were moved to the child board.
But the 'Trade Central' board was created for the same reason; to filter out trade threads from the regular discussion.
-
Yeah prolly only the most popular games would be moved and all the active ones from the GD, moving all of them would be too time consuming but if someone felt like going thru and moving them all they could xD
-
make a whole Games section on the forums :D

Not an entirely bad idea
-GAMES
-Forum games:
-Xbox:
-discussion
-acarde/indie
-PS:
-ect.
-Nintendo:
-ect.
-PC:
-ect.
I could see a use but that would be for a whole different suggestion xD

But then we'd end up with the same problem as the current offtopic board, the forum would be crammed with different genres and popular threads would constantly be bumped.
-
I really like this Idea =)
-
I don't think the whole console games thing is necessary. I rarely ever see threads about other video games, and offtopic is the perfect home for them. I still agree with one forum games subforum under offtopic.

Well that is a whole other discussion.
But this Forum Games subboard is unnecessary imo. It's off topic of other dedicated boards; even if it does contribute to discussion, the "discussion" is just random jesting or useless comments.
(And mostly posts started by Salsa ::))

But wouldn't it be the same as the 'Trade Central' and 'User Events' being child boards of the General Discussion board? Both those boards were made because we started to see 2 different topics forming in the 1 board (people selling items and people creating events) therefor 2 new boards were created to filter this.
I'm seeing the same thing happen with the Offtopic board, I'm seeing a new topic, that topic being these 'forum games'.
-
I agree, forum games usually only require a few words, making easy for them to be bumped up and other topics disappearing to page 2. Also this might be good to give more attention to forum games. To me this seems like a win win. And to anyone who says "we don't need it right now" are we going to wait till it becomes a problem or do it now?
-
Most topics anyways josh...posts would be cookie :P
-

It kinda already is a problem... thats why we are trying to solve it
-
I would like to bump this again I do not belive this got as much of a recognition as it should.
A new Child Board with just the Forum Games would be a useful idea. The problem with the forum games flooding the offtopic section has gotten worse in my opinion, and I can provide a few good examples; one of those examples being my own topic, which was pushed to the 3rd page after about 2 days by new forum games and all of the popular forum games constantly being bumped over and over....; also many non-server related support topics have ben pushed to the 3rd 4th and 5th pages, and have ever so been forgotten.
C'mon everyone, hear this idea out! This is one of the best suggestions I have seen for quite some time.
So... yeah. bump ^
