Add an "Other Games" Section in Off-Topic

[Contrary]

Yeah I've noticed there isn't a games section, which is a strange absence on a game forum. I can understand no talking about other card games as they are a direct competitor (despite the fact that no other forum I've ever seen do this), but to discourage talking about all games? If the fear is that discussing such things will cause people to devote more time to things that aren't playing elements, really there shouldn't be any off topic discussion at all. If other games can take a significant amount of time away from Elements playing, stuff like books and movies can for sure.

Yep it would be interesting to see what other games elements players like.

And I don't see why elements should fear to allow publicity for other games. I think a game which succeeded to live 4 years, with lots of players, shouldn't be so unsure of its own qualities (by the way I think 100% of players know many other games and still play elements).

i completely agree with the creation of a game section besides elements on the forum

i made a thread about SSBB in off-topic to see if someone here still plays that awesome game and maybe play some wifi with those people but i created it in tech talk section because i didnt know where to put it :S

I'm inclined to agree, although I believe the original concern was that since this is a game forum it might pull users away or something.

But I think discussion of other games happens often enough that we mind as well give a place for it.

Various other forums have similar sections for such discussion, and I haven't seen problems with them (Not to mention we already have had several threads on Off-topic about other games). I don't think drawing users away from Elements will be an issue.

This. If anything, statistics have shown that talking about other games on a forum for a particular game keeps people part of the community for this game and on this forum.

I think a game which succeeded to live 4 years...

Coming up on three years, in May.
