Games, amusements, and their place.

Not to sound an elitist killjoy, but would it be sensible to relegate all gaming interests (LOTRO, table-top, etc.) to some sub-forum other? Perhaps I am the only one, but I think of "General discussion" as actually related to Rangering and gaming subjects to be more "Off-topic."

That would be up to Jack. He generally signs on around 2am EST. You might want to pm him or wait to see if others are like minded.

I don't play but it doesn't particularly bother me where it's posted as I read everything posted on the site anyway.

Hey, 2:00am is better than disappearing for 6 months at a time. Odigan, good idea, see the poll.

At the expense of being a little snarky: "For all of the Talk that doesn't fit elsewhere." is the description of the subforum. While I think maybe we should add a forum for non-ranger discussions and such, until there is one, it would seem this is the right place. After all, we do have a Dunedain Culture forum that gets precious enough use.

I agree, and will add: does it really matter? One of the things I like about this place is the relaxed atmosphere. While I'm not big on gaming, its really none of my affair if someone wants to post it in general, and cant say I've fretted about it....Look at the title and if you dont want to read it,move on...works for me.

I've always felt that stuff like LOTRO (though I don't play anymore) is still about Rangering, just in a virtual atmosphere. I feel the like the other forums in the Rangering category are more suited to the aspects of real life Rangering (though there are plenty of "real" topics that fit great in GD), but I don't feel the games discussion (Ranger-related like LOTRO) is out of place in GD.

Are there a multitude of other game threads not in GD that would really require a new forum just for them? I've noticed the LOTR Miniature thread, but that's really it....
