First of all I will tell you a brief story. I referred two very nice bird people to this forum last week. One was new to birds and was very excited to join a bird forum. However I was told both went to another forum when they saw all the games being played here and very little bird information. This is a wake up call to me and the forum in general. We are a bird forum, right!
There are those members who like to play games and that is just fine but when the games take over the bird related articles we are in trouble. This is why I am writing this thread. We need your help with suggestions of how to handle this situation. This morning there are 14 active games posted and only 4 bird related articles. My suggestion is to separate the games into their own section so it does not detract from the bird postings. Should we limit the number of active games to the most popular? Should we have only bird related games? I do not want to offend anyone or have any members upset by this posting. Please come forth with your ideas so we can once again be primarily a bird forum and not a game forum.
If you are short on ideas to post about birds just take a look at the thousands of articles on the web.
