What news of it?
Dear Santa,
I want a pony; a Red Rider BB gun; [game], [sports], [videogame] tags to become commonplace; TroutMan’s keyword-based thread hiding script to be easy to implement; concert tickets; the Star Wars films not to suck; 4 oz. of unicorn poop.
Yours,
Rhythmdvl
No. You’ll shoot the pony’s eye out.
You were supposed to wait until tomorrow and make another post titled “it’s been another 11 days…”. Eleven day warnings could have become the definitive not-quite-silent voices of SDMB protest!
Happy holidays and stuff to everyone while we hope for a holiday miracle together!
The last person that asked about this got an Official Warning™, in case that tells you anything.
I asked Santa for our own game sub-forum, but I guess I was too naughty this past year. 
A moderator should be by shortly bringing tidings, but not of comfort and joy I’m afraid…
Greetings and salutations!
I don’t know Ed’s holiday schedule but I will send him a note to see if he is around to comment on this.
Yes, we can set up a Thread Games forum (or whatever we’re going to call it). We have to finalize who will mod it, and do other rearranging of the forums and staff, and run in new Internet cabling because the vast influx of new traffic will surely melt the existing Dixie cup and string. So give it a few days. TSD’s wheels grind slow but they grind exceeding fine.
Thanks for the quick response.
The Game Room will it’s own mod? It should be used a disciplinary measure for misbehaving moderators. Like a rubber room.
All forums are moderated. Some mods handle more than one forum.
Well, I disagree with whatever you come up with, even though I would stay out of it like I stay out of the Games forum, because it’s the thing to do and I think I’ll be more popular if I’m part of the rabble.
It’s a Festivus miracle!
We have more than a couple mods who drop in to contribute and I haven’t seen a warning issued since I came back in February, but I’M ONLY ONE MAN, DAMMIT! I’ll rack up one yet! The gauntlet has been thrown!
Yeah, how do you know the mods aren’t fighting like cats n’ dogs behind the scenes just to get the chance to hang with (i.e. moderate) the cool kids in Games? 
We know that. Some are very busy like the 4 in the Barn House forum.
Ed, this post has done wonders to relieve my previous frustration. It says to me that the mods actually do listen. You couldn’t have done better here, Ed. You gave an update to the discussion and left the thread open. That gets a standing ovation from me.
Thanks for the response! A thread games forum will be awesome. I hope somebody who plays forum games ends up as a mod, but I’m super happy with this news.
Thank you. I was getting really frustrated about this, too, and I don’t even really care all that much about it. It was just the topic ban that bugged me.
It was really tempting to reveal the one little secret I knew about the thing that no one else knew. But I promised the person who told me that I wouldn’t.
