Hello! Let's talk about some poo poo. 1) Added FactsAreUseless as a Games mod. Pretty good call on my part. Thank you. 2) Reports still the same as they have been for the past couple of years which is a good thing. The only thing I can currently bank on happening every day is Love Stole the Day reporting gangnam reference a couple of times for posts that are exactly the same as other posts in the DOTA thread. Why he continues to do this, when we clearly ignore his reports and have ignored his reports for the past year, I don't know. 3) Games saw some growth in users and guests over the past half year or so. Probably more to do with the Star Citizen drama than anything, but still a good thing. 4) It's been a couple of weeks since I've seen someone count how many new posts they see in a thread and then post in that thread to tell people how many new posts they saw. Kind of sad that it's taken 6 months to get to the point where this poo poo wasn't happening multiple times a day. 5) We survived our annual ritual where a huge new game comes out (Fallout 4) and lots of people either threadshit or get mad that someone isn't as hyped as they are or whatever other random poo poo happens every single year when a game of this magnitude comes out. Let's all pat ourselves on the back for not losing our minds. Alright go ahead and post questions/concerns/comments or whatever and I'll try to get to them in a timely fashion. Hopefully you guys have more to say this go-around than last time!

Games has been a good subforum in 2015.

I like the games forum and think you did a good job with it Kewpah. Good work. I don't think enough of you to spell your name correctly though.

Kewpuh sets the direction for the forum, but I'm also happy to talk to anyone who has things to say about Games. Feel free to PM me, as well as about thread titles, tags, etc.

I'm new but I like Games. The only suggestion I could possibly have would be a official RSS feed or something similar for new threads, I use an non-official one but having a official way to check new threads would be great to have more non-mega threads, since it's pretty impractical to browse the front page when it's 99% megathreads for games you don't care about.

For my part, I'd love to see some more threads that aren't for specific games, but obviously most of the discussion is going to be people talking about the games they are currently playing.

I still honestly think it's kind of weird and unnecessary to have two Fallout 4 threads because at this point they're practically identical.

Having a unofficial way to do it is cool but people have to go out of their way to use it. program666 fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Nov 24, 2015 |

I've always thought it would be useful to have the option to sort threads by date of first post, in addition to date of latest post, so you can find the newest threads in a forum easily. No idea how much effort that'd be to implement though.

Games has improved when mods decided to ignore ridiculous reports of overly sensitive crybabies.

Ekster posted:Games has improved when mods decided to ignore ridiculous reports of overly sensitive crybabies. It all comes down the this really. Games is a cool place where I can say dumb poo poo about dumb poo poo and I don't have to worry about some mod with a stick up his rear end coming in and ruining harmless fun on the internet. Like Kewpuh have me a 6 hour probation for spamming anime images in the Star Citizen thread when if I did that in literally any other forum I would have eaten a ban.

Games might be the most easily trolled forum outside of D&D, and if we banned everyone who made someone sad there would only be two posters left: me and the OP of the Soccer Spirits thread.

I'd say TVIV and especially CinD are more easily trollable at this point.

I don't have a problem with PYF threads. And no, Ettin is the sole mod of TG and the Game Room.
