Title: Forum Games forum

I was surprised when I realized (just now) that we didn't have one of these. Could you make one, Kronakitty (or Zephyr)?
I'd really like one, 'cus the games that people make can be very interesting, brilliant, and fun.
Unless of course, you have something against them, there is a specific reason you don't want one, or that you claim that it killed your great great great great great grandmother/grandfather.

...Nah. Ultimately it's up to Kronakitty, but if you ask me, I don't think a games section would be a good addition to the forum. It just becomes more or less a spamhole, a center of attention. I'd rather you made content-filled posts on other parts of the forum. ^^

Well, you wouldn't have to make posts count in that section.

Mmm, I kinda agree with Zephyr. It's not up to me, but a forum games board can end up becoming the only active board if the forums aren't super active, which is the case with the EV forums. For example, with my old forums, after a while the only new posts were in the games board. Maybe that wouldn't be the case here, but I wouldn't really want to risk it.

What is postcount anyway, but a little number by your avatar? It makes no difference whether or not your posts there are official. Games forums become sub-spamholes. They don't work out. You can go play your games on whatever forum you're a member of that chooses to have them, but our forum certainly will not.
Shadow's right too. It sucks attention away from other, more important parts of the forum.

I do remember that, Shadow.
Well, ok, it was just a suggestion. . .

Ummm... Post count tells you and the admins, mods, etc, how much post you have made... does that help? If you where asking it.., had a little question mark... okay I'm gonna shut up now...
Okay anyway so it's not a good idea to have games in the forums? the way ya'll where saying that sounded all like math or something. Something i couldn't understand. and i agree with shadow, don't want to risk it.

@Dark Allie:
Zephyr knows what post count is -- she's an admin. XD What she means is that post count is not really that big a deal. It's just a number, and doesn't state the quality of your posts, only the quantity.
@IceMasterX:
Suggestions are perfectly fine. ^^ This is a suggestion board, after all.
