In order to hopefully make it a little easier for those who browse this forum on a daily or regular basis, we have added a prefix to all threads that are for the sole purpose of playing a board game or such.  
**[GAME]** (with brackets) means an _actual_ game is being played _in that thread._

A few things about this from here on:

1. Posters will be expected to keep up with this on their own if they want to/think it’s a good idea, but it’s not required. So…
2. Please don’t start reporting topics for not doing it. The mods will not be expected to mark every single new thread.
3. Please don’t start chastising posters (who don’t do it or forget to) in threads about it.
4. Feel free to give feedback here, in this thread.

If posters/regulars in here think it’s a good idea and like it, it will catch on normally. If not, then it will probably not be used much and die a normal death. Like I said, we’ve started it out for you, but it’s mostly up to you all to continue it now if you see fit.  
Yes, I know it’s not as good as a solution as “Just make a whole other forum”, but at least it’s something.

And kudos to CK DEXTER HAVEN for coming up with this idea originally, trying to make a difference, and for all his hard work.
