On the other hand, shooting a Moderator might get you banned.
Only if he was in a nkz.
I hadn’t considered the teenage nerd game gameplayers issue. I see where that could be a problem, as they’d migrate to other forums. I do think that most of them would be scared off by the subscription fee, though.
Perhaps we could try a game forum on a trial basis? Give it a couple months and see how it impacts the site as a whole?
Only “might”? 
Them’s good odds!
What they said. It’s under discussion for possible implementation.
Hang on for further development.
Sounds like a good idea for a game thread to me.
I think it might be more of a sport.
I put up an occasional chess game thread - pure skill, comments, guaranteed ending.
I doubt teenage nerds would be interested!
Well, they might be if you get to shoot a mod for each checkmate.
…and you’re afraid that would take away from the grown up-nerd-gameplayers?.. 
Would teenaged-nerd-gameplayers shell out $15 to play the types of games we play in threads? C’mon…Diplomacy?!
It seems to me lumping the MPSIMS game threads and the nomadic sports threads into one forum would be a great idea, solving multiple issues at once.
Adding a forum is easy. Finding the [del]saps[/del] noble souls to moderate it will be harder. Thinking up the guidelines for the forum also.
I’ll moderate. The rules are - I win.
The First Rule of Game Forum is you never talk about Game Forum.
(That’ll cut down on the discussion threads.)
And the second rule?
(Double post, thought of an honest question after sarcastic comment)
Would this forum become the new home to all those kinds of continuing threads, such as the MMP and sequential thread titles?
Please see rule #1.
I thought those were the heart and soul of MPSIMS?
They are not really game threads though, so I shouldn’t think so.
