Sure, it's just a luxury for any forums, but perhaps it's just not necessary. Personally, I don't know how often it'll be used and from what I've seen, many forum arcades are of a fairly low standard. Thanks.
Understand totally.
Here is how i look at it thought.
I will use my site as an example. Its largely a flaming forum and largely all Aussies beating up on the rest. Now that's a very specific niche obviously.
Now adding the arcade has got me members who attend daily and play to beat scores of which i would never have got or got to stay.
Sure they dont post much but they do post on occasion and therefor a win for gaining members. (they have to post to get $ to play)
Another way to look at it is like this.
We have a windows section here.
We have a linux section here.
Now its entirely possible to have a windows user who knows nothing at all about linux and also vise versa therefor rendering those forums or areas useless to them short of them wanting to learn.
Now games are more of a universal thing. A nix user or a windows user could possibly be interested in a game now and again. And may even get them to come here a bit more that they would have.
But i understand your objection and partly actually agree.
