Just a suggestion:do we need a separate Game section?
 

Hi,
I was just wondering if we need a separate section just for games? I was surprised to see so many on the first page of General Chit Chat, today.

Well I've often thought that too. Not sure what's up with the mixing of games with the general subjects. I'm sure people have complained about it already though.

I'm game.

Ha ha! I crack myself up. I'm game....
LOL

I don't participate in the games, but I know there are others who enjoy them. I view all forums in order of the thread's start date, rather than the date of the last entry, so I don't usually see games in my view. Still, they don't really fall under the description of chit-chat, so I'm also in favor of putting them somewhere else.

They are fun, and when I want to play, I'll gladly go to the "games" tab. I wouldn't mind them on the general chit chat, but because there are so many I have to scroll down and hit the "page" button too many time. So If you are going to keep them in general chit chat, how about letting us view more threads per page. Then skipping wouldn't be such a nuisance.

Jane, if you will click on your username at the top of the page, you will see "settings" on the left hand side.
Click on that and you can change the number of threads you see, up to 40. That choice is down toward the bottom of the options.

click on the save changes button at the bottom

I agree. Please create a separate games forum.

Definitely.

This would be my vote - I don't come to this forum for games, but I can respect that others like them.

I agree too - if we have a subforum in Main for old machines, why not a subforum in Chitchat for Games? Check it out early in the morning, almost the whole first page is games.

KalamaQuilts----This setting refers to the number of replies in a single thread. (mine is set at max 40). I am referring to the number of threads in a forum group like main, chit chat, pictures or whats new....That maximum is 25( and I don't know where to adjust its setting). If that 25 is clogged with games you have to hit the change page button more often. I want that one changed to "see all".

I do not click on the game threads, but have no issue with them in the 'General" category.

I actually am happy to see that there are so many games as it has been shown that keeping our minds alert, through play, music, art, dance, games etc, delays the onset of dementia and reduces the initial severity. Encouraging all of us to keep our minds fit and active is important.

The math skills, geometry etc, we use in quilting also helps keep us alert.

good point,Tothill

I have seen this request come up several times, however, it has always been denied. Maybe it would help if more members actually participated in the "chit-chat" portion of this Forum. Does anyone know if the Administrators have ever given a reason as to why the separation of the two subjects has been denied? If so, could you/would you share this information? Please know, I am not trying to start a war, I am just curious.

I wish there was a separate place for games too.

Yes, too many games to sift through. A seperate page would be most helpful.

Lol, you did good with that one!!!!!

Yes I vote for a special section just for games.

a separate section for games would be inappropriate.
we are not a game site.
we are a quilting board.
