    These forum games keep it apart from the usual boring and lame computer forums. Let em stay, but only allow users with more than 10 posts. They tend to spam this category.  ;)

      I think you are right, even I voted on 'allow users with more than 10 posts'

      That's the right option for me1

          It was brought up in Don's Bar, from what I recall without manually going through the post again I don't believe all of those who brought it up participated in it.

          10 or more votes is only for games, not whole off topic section right? I guess it's alright... But then you might get people spamming other threads just to get their 10 posts.

          Theres only four pages of Games posts... it would be easy to move them all into the Off Topic section, I'm just saying, I dont think a child board needs to exist for Games, and it can continue in Off Topic.
          After all, the games are off topic...

          Hmm... I'm not even convincing myself, need to work on my manipulation...

          But, still, its just, a whole board for a rather simple topic...
          Look at the statistics,
          Since we added Forum Games, we have only had a total of four pages in posts, equaling approximately 100 posts. Off Topic has about 1075 posts, with 43 pages...

          Well i vote we move the Driver's section there as well...they're only drive-by posters that we see once and dissappear forever...

          Actually just make it an Off Topic Forum and be done with it.

          I honestly don't understand whats wrong with having a child borad for the games. Is it really hurting anything if it only has four pages? It will still be four pages in off topic.

            i see nothing wrong with it, you can move it to the off topic board but keep it. ;)
