Speaking of Jamski, right there we have a clear reason as to why forum games and other games should be seperated.

quote: Originally posted by Skanky Burns I think not. Remember this thread back before forum games came around? This area was even less active the A/C, and threads hardly got any replies? Fastforward to now, the threads actually about other games get massive amounts of exposure (comparatively) due to the people in the forums here for the forum games.

Im not sure that the the number of posts to other games threads actually get more replies now than before.

I will say that its somewhat harder to find them, amidst all the forum game threads.

And it will get even harder if we not only have forum games (which can at least be recognized by the high roman numeral in the title) but threads like this, which are ABOUT forum games.

I mean theres such a thing as taking a good thing too far. Having one, or two forum games here was fine, and may well have strengthened the forum. Having it mainly be a forum about forum games is getting a bit out of hand.


Like I said, i dont advocate seperating forum games out. I just want some sense of restraint, thats all.

Jamski got into Neverwinter Nights and left a bunch of other forumgamers hanging. Speaking of which, that's further proof that neither Trokair nor Anita are Jamski's DLs.

No, Jamski is just spending too much time with his two DL's that he don't have time to post something from his own login

Not an unreasonable case. Why not start a thread on this topic?

As far as I understand things on Apolyton- threads like this should really be:

1.) In the off topic
or
2.) Closed as soon as they are answered.

Regarding point 1, the thread was relevant to OtherGames only. If it was started in the OT, there would be another round of DL dancing and then the thread would drop to page 2 before any of its intended target audience even saw it. It would take the same level of effort but achieve none of the results.

Regarding point 2, I do agree that the thread has run its course, but if people stopped bumping the thread it could die a natural death!

There is no way this should be in the OT, in logical terms or indeed from past precedent. Here or A/C are both acceptable, and in either case the thread should be closed now.

Why does the phrase metaspam jump to mind?

If gently suggesting not to threadjack one discussion to another area potentially worthy of discussion is metaspam, then I plead guilty.

Not your post. The new thread would be metaspam - ie it would do to the forum exactly what i complain about this thread doing. I could post it in AC, but i dont think it would be much better there, and would be lost in the typical AC discussion about overall forum organization.

However I wont bump this thread anymore, and will let it return to its original topic, or die. OK?
