Default Too many game threads

What is with all the game posts? This is a HD forum, not a game show. I just counted the number of game posts in the 1st 100 posts, and 40 of them were game posts. I just don't understand the fascination with them, I come here to get advice, give advice, or to see/understand HD motorcycle stuff, not games.

I'd like to see a separate location for ALL "GAME" activity. Just keep them all out of the "New Posts" category. I find it frustrating and time wasting to have to filter through all that crap.

Agreed, which is why I made a bookmark that I can use to search for new posts but excludes the subforums I don't want to see.

First go to the subforum you dont want, and note the number in the URL.
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/games-87/

Then make a bookmark with this as the URL: Add the number to the list.
www.hdforums.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=133,98,78,139,87,79

BTW, that one is mine which excludes several subforums such as games, political, showdown, etc...
You can start with just ignoring games like this:

Obviously you've been misinformed :>)

Don't think I have ever gone to that section of the forum so why would you? Maybe I am missing part of your question? I limit my HDF browsing to Touring, General HD chat, Off Topic, Humor and Gun Enthusiasts which are about all that interest me here. Occasionally I browse the Touring classifieds but rarely go anywhere else on this forum. I keep tabs open for everything that I want to check regularly which are the topics mentioned, several email accounts, bank accounts, news and other things I want quick access to. Generally about 60 tabs at any given time.

I enjoy the diverse cultural experience offered in this forum by the breadth of all topics.

quit your bitchin', there is a designated Games Forum. But you think it's bad here, go over to wranglerforum.com and check out their Off Topic section. The majority there also seems to be kiddie games that adults play. I mentioned about starting a section for games only, instead of hogging up OT. They politely told me to eff off.

Interesting, I've been here almost 11 years and the way that I read/look over the forum, the games don't bother me one bit. If I want games, I go there, if I don't I don't, simple.
