Well, given the stereotypical video gamer, it's unlikely that you would expect an essay as a post. In fact, I would guess it to be quite common for posts consisting of no more than the letters "lol" to appear if we made a gamer forum.

>he linked me to Sanjay's post
No, he linked to the '#' symbol. The first section of his post was basically the result of a copy+paste of your previous text. The link was from IntelliTXT, while the smilie was parsed into a link.

A gamer forum just isn't going to help DaniWeb.

You still have not given any good reasons why not to have a gaming board. So what if its full of LOL and ? posts Nobody is going to force anyone to read all that stuff. As for HS objection -- the minimum age for registration at DaniWeb is only 13 (yes I still remember my 13th birthday) and I think there have been a few of them here. And I would even be in favor of abandoning the "leet speak" rule for that board.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

yeah at least if we made a gaming thread it would keep the offtopic chat out of the general forums . I mean, the same tactic worked for the posting games forum didnt it.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

You're generalizing a group of people here.. no different than stereotyping people based on race..

True. The truth is, we really wont know what kind of affect it will have on Daniweb until such a forum is created. Besides, most people already have their favorite "gaming" websites bookmarked, and I doubt many new people would join Daniweb based on its gaming forum (not at first anyway).

And as for the minimum age being 13... you don't really think that stops younger people from joining do you? lol.. I created my e-mail account before I was of 'legal' age, and I have joined many sites that required you to be a certain age, and I was not.

This thread is ridiculous and highlights so much of what is currently wrong with Daniweb. The administrator responded in post number 2, end of story. Barely readable posts written in mangled, unpunctuated pseudo-English arguing for the establishment of a gamer's forum provide their own best counterargument.

Now all we need is christina>you giving me inane negative reputation points and the thread will provide a complete demonstration of the current Daniweb culture.
