I have a question about this rule.
No Forum Games Allowed
Games like these drains database resources and bandwidth for something that really does not contribute much to the community.
what are "Games like these"? Because I've seen polls shut down saying they were games. What type of polls are allowed and what are not?
TY

A couple of examples:
*"VS" type threads
Examples:

http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =2&t=18844
http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =2&t=18575
For some reason I can't go back any more than 2 pages on the Off-Topic forum, otherwise I'd provide other examples.

To name a few:
"Start a story and let the next person to post continue it";
"Let's count to 100000000000000000000";
"Take and Give
Boba Fett 10
Mace Windu 10-1 (9)
Luke Skywalker 10+1(11)
Leia Organa 10";
"Say a word and let the next person to post associate another word to it" (I don't understand what is the point of this particular game since it always ends in that four letter word).

Ok, thank you for the examples Teancum.
