hey why are most games closed the ones that are closed are really good ones too

Until last month there were somewhere around 30 or so active games but there were not enough moderators to monitor them so they cut them down to ten active games.
Spammers got to vote on which ones stayed active.
The ones active now were the most popular.
We COULD reopen some of the others BUT for each one we activate another one must be locked.
If we get enough active moderators we could get more than ten active games IF the moderators okay it

I am willing to discuss the section, but the limits are a function of mod availability and number. Also for awhile games and spam was by far the most active part of the forums, and to be honest there is only so much mindless spam one can read.

For example, holding periodic votes to pick new threads.

Those that meet the requirements are free to apply
Forum Mods!

Constructive feedback is welcome.

The games and spam section, without a doubt, is the most active section in the forums and as such, it was one of the hardest sections to manage.

Having to sort and watch tons of pages of spam is a heafty toll when you consider there are only 3 active forum mods in this whole site (ssam, prh99, and myself)

Another reason is the fact that because the focus/activity on the G&S is so huge, this has left almost every section not named "Anime", "Gallery", or "About You"
pretty much dead...We are hoping to see more activity in other sections through the changes in games and spam (ex: posts not counting anymore in the games and spam section, the closing down of all but 10 threads, etc)

Jules and prh has pretty much said what I wanted to say. We want this forum to get back on track. While having the game and spam section is a nice distraction, we really want to see more activity in other parts of the forums. If we can get more forum mods, more of the old spam threads will become open again.
