Dear Mr. Supreme Overlord Sašo,
If I remember correctly, you run the forums, and you do not like forum games because they are spam. I'll start off by admitting that, yes, a lot of forum games are spam. I'm pretty sure you don't want spam to clog up the forums and make it a bad place. But there is a difference between a zero quality topic that should be in the shame chamber and a good enough topic that people who don't like it can deal with it. I like to think that forum games fall under the latter. This is because forum games and normal topics have one thing that sets them apart.
Fun. Forum games are made to entertain forum members, so we can have some fun around the forums. If you're just going to hate on fun this way, then you mine as well just quit working at stabyourself.net before it releases Mari0: Special Edition, because that's going to be extremely fun.
If you don't want to be blinded by a million forum games every time you come to twatter, you can just put them into their own section or subsection. Also, if you don't want to moderate such places, then make someone who's willing to do that job do it, and you won't have to. My suggestion would be to have either Jorichi or LightningFire moderate forum games, or better yet, both.
A big reason this is bothering me is because you shot down my forum game for dumbest reason when I asked you to unlock it, which was because nobody wanted to see the rules changing. But I remember that before you locked it, some guy actually did play it, and Bonko said he would have played it if it weren't for your no forum games rule. I did a mini-rant focusing on you shooting down forum games as a response to one of Drone36's posts, it's the last post in how to not make bad threads and stay not banned, you should take a look at that.
My point is that forum games aren't a bad thing, and shouldn't to be excluded from the stabyourself.net forums community, especially since it has a lot of members that enjoy and like to play forum games, including myself. Hopefully you will allow new forum games again soon.
(this was really bugging me since tuesday, if you got something to add please do, if you want to argue go ahead I don't give a flying flamingo, and sašo if you don't want to change anything that's understood, and if you read the whole thing and understand what I mean have 15 forum points, and finally if you agree with me you're awesome.)
