Would it be possible to have an 'anything-goes' area where it's just basically all silly forum post games that usually get classed as spam and needless posts, just so that we can have a bit of pointless fun without breaking any rules, would make the general discussion section look a lot less cluttered too if we had a section where our post count was disabled so we can just post random and needless stuff.

I know it's not the brightest idea, but hey! :P

That would be rather cool! But my question would be, how do you draw the line between general discussion and a spam area? I mean, all talk could end up happening there instead - and the General Discussion forum would be dead as hell.

I think its a 50/50 thing. I agree about the part with the general forum becoming a gost town. There really isnt to many topics as of right now not sure we need another forum for spam.

There's a forum already for games and it's been there for quite awhile lol.

General Forum is more aless anything goes (within guidelines) and always has been as long as it's not a topic about PC Vs Macs etc lol cus that just turns into a mass arguement and well PC always wins :P

Yeah I think anything goes should just be the general and we relax on the moderation in there as long as ppl are not being abusive. But then don't bitch when ppl are posting silly things and people are accusing them of upping their post count lol!
