About Novel Scoops' deleted threads...

Yeah definitely too many, but I definitely think casual games are good too.

I liked them, sorry to hear they were deleted as I think some good discussion came from them.

But, they were all in Forum Games and Roleplaying, when they should have been in General Discussion.  A few of the meatier one should have just been moved.
EDIT: Although generally I think Novel Scoops was looking for some Life Advice...

What happened?

Found it kinda annoying and spammy. I hope NS is okay though.

Ah, I see several on page 2 of General Discussion, so maybe most of them were moved.  Yeah, it was getting kinda spammy.  One topic, many questions would have been better organized.

I don't believe any got moved. He just made a bunch of threads there too.

I wouldn't have called it spam since it does appear to have been a genuine attempt to make more silly-bullshit games, but it could have been, like, one thread.

Agreed. Games don't have to be complicated, but first-page real estate is limited- one should try to avoid making more threads than needed to do a thing.

I recommended them to a gamefaqs board for forum games. Not many people there so anything helps. Here's the link if anyone is interested:

What we really need are threads about threads  ::)

thanks for making the very necessary announcement and substantive post, archduke forumgames

Like you're actually adding to the issue if not worse because at least novel was trying "games". Pretty sure based on how 99% of us act that we didn't need a "simple games good, spam bad" post.

Not that I really migrate outside of my own games or a few others (or have much room to talk, since on a good day my games take up a good bit of real estate up here on the first page anyway), but there is a place for these kinds of threads, and it isn't here; GD would have been a superior area for this sort of discussion.

I would not put it as bluntly as the post above, but I agree with the sentiment.

New game, come up with silly thread names that could be games.

Roseheart's Amazing Taxi Thread.

Because this thread should magically transfer from Forum Games & Roleplaying to General Discussion.

Waiting for the Necromancer

A new game/thread where nobody should post, but eventually someone will come and necro it.

Why did he delete the treads some of them where amusing, why didn't he just let them be forgotten?
