Remove Forum Games

Here's the thing:

1) If forum games are there for us to have fun, by all means. If forum games are there for spam to result, then why allow it to exist?
2) The Activity Bar has become one of a Spam Bar. And this Spam Bar is fueled by Forum Games. I believe that when vBExperience was introduced, this activity bar was meant to serve a greater purpose than to tell us who the latest spammer was.
3) Forum Games contribute none to the DZ Community. Nuff' said.

Well, this thread is up for discussion then.
Yay or Nay.

I say Nay.

Dont all get so concentrated over the activity bar, it is accurate that if you post in forum games then you are more active

Without forum games our community would diminish

Posting proper, meaningful and discussive posts is being active.
Posting brainless spam is something a monkey could do.

And no, the DZ community is not built on forum games.
Without the programs, our community would diminish.

Forum Games is not indispensable to DarkZtar's survivability.

Without community
would are people not turn into leechers?
would we get the people today like Faye and Natalie?
would DZ really be as it is now?


In my opinion the removal of forum games would have ZERO proper benefits.
