It’s been some time since Café Society was spun off of IMHO, & now The Game Room has been spun off of CS.

At some point this week I dreamt that the splitting of the SDMB into ever more narrow fora had accelerated. I don’t remember what they all were, but it was getting ridiculous.

So, yeah, cut it out.

Well technically “The Game Room” was spun off of the Café and MPSIMS. It was also greatly appreciated by many of us.

Does it really harm you in anyway that Café and The Game Room exist?

Personally, I’d like to see a TMI forum, just so we could put all the posts that we probably don’t want to read (but will anyway) in one place.

I suggest we split up the game forum. Freecell & Everything Else.

Not a mug. A cup. One. And two girls would bring it.

And you’d have to add a letter to the mod initiation with goats.
