Forum Games

[Oracle]

There should be a section called Forum Games. It's not spam, but it isn't general either. It's sort of Irrelevant.

For example, " Guess the Poster "

Description: Very simple. Just guess who will post after you.


Another Example: Official Word Association Game

Description: The rules of this game is very simple. Somebody posts a word, and then the next person copies the previous word, posts a -> after, then puts the word they associate with the last one.

For example:

Homer -> Simpson
Simpson -> Donuts
Donuts -> Police
Police -> Gangsters
Gangsters -> Al Capone
Al Capone -> Fat
Fat -> Homer



I'll begin: Anime

Like my idea?

We generally ban such things now, because in the past they have all proven to be filled with spam, and members simply trying to up their post count. That, and the typical complaints about rep circles that has happened.

What you call "irrelevent" is more a euphemism for the fact that it is spam, since spam in itself is generally off topic, pointless, irrelevent, etc.

We're also trying to deal with the issue of the Misc. section being too full of threads that don't have any actually conversational value, and having a forum or sub-forum for games doesn't seem like it'd be too helpful, though, that bit's just my take on the matter.

I just thought it would be fun, but I see your point.

Ah well, thanks for the comment.
