Okay, so there are a TON of Danger Zone and Survivor games in the Games section, and it makes it hard to notice other types of games that are taking place, and multiple threads will be bumped at once. So I was wondering if it would be possible to create a subforum for either Danger Zone/Survivor type games or flip it and make a subforum for other types of games like Mafia, BB, BB:Survivor, Pointless, etc?

I proposed this already but nobody was in my favour.
The games should be announced, given a ticket and a start date, monitored and only a certain amount of games should be running at the same time.
Games not attracting enough players and moving on too slowly should be killed.
IMHO

Quite honestly, there are probably more Danger Zone games going on right now than anyone here knows how to deal with.
On Page 1 alone, there are - as of this typing - 24 DZ games currently ongoing (and another 4 that have wrapped), started by no less than 14 different posters (albeit 2 have since been permabanned and one has since left Pulse).
Here's my thought.
We could move those into a separate forum, so that they're not cluttering up the Games forum and taking all the space. I see one of two things happening if we do do that:
1) Oh! It's a sub-forum! ...and traffic dies off, thus killing all those games outright.
2) It does nothing to stem the pattern of DZ activities currently going on. That is to say, people will keep making them, even with an already-absurd number of them currently ongoing.
The fact that there are so many ongoing right now is the real issue, IMO. Is this something that staff can magically fix, without necessarily appearing heavy-handed in doing so? I don't know.

Yeah Danger Zone is like the whole first page and there are just way too many of them. It's really put a damper on other games. But yeah, I agree with Libra. Putting a sub-forum for the games would result in people bitching about how the new sub-forum has taken away a lot of the traffic for the games (kinda similar to the Nostalgia forum now), though low-key, that could be a silver lining lol.

Guys, i think we need to make a FAQ for DZs/Survivors to keep things organized. Like the mafia FAQ. I don't mind doing it, but i think i need your approvals :)
And i'm thinking that we should limit the number of DZs going in a same time. 10? 15? What do you guys think?
