Games on vcenotes.com?

Although not immediately apparent to many, it has come to my attention that many vcenotes users are getting bored of the current settings of this site. It is possible that many users will leave as a result of this continuous degradation.This possiblity has made many lose faith in justice as more and more try to endure staying an hour or more on this site, struggling to make some decent posts along the way. To brighten things up, I suggest we introduce some games, with high scores of course. It will enable our members to refresh their minds after many hours of studying and scrolling through vcenotes.com.

I dont mean to sound mean or condescending, but:

What do you mean by games? This site is first and foremost a VCE forum, there are many other websites available for flash games, role playing games, proper games you pay money for etc.
If you mean forum games, you could always start one, but most tend to be lame (counting to 1mil is not fun o_o). On IRC, we have a #trivia channel though :P

How the hell did you come to this conclusion?

What the hell's this 'justice' that you speak of?

If you want games on VN, then just say so, don't crap on about totally irrelevant shit and make ridiculous unsubstantiated statements.

i like your choice of language there

1) "continuous degradation"? how so? VN is not degrading [that much...]

2) "justice"? what justice? justice to whom? way to overstate the matter dude

3) "endure staying an hour or more"? unless you are dedicated, no one is holding your neck to force you to stay an hour. My understanding is that some people just scroll through the relevant forums (maybe their subject) and read up on stuff [the majority of members are lurkers/inactive].

i don't think it's a big deal... VN is mainly just an online forum/resource central. use it as a resource, not a place to live in :P

Putting games on VN would just open up a new avenue for procrastination, which might undermine the purpose of the site.

Exactly the point, DivideBy0! There is seamless integration between SMF and arcade games. Why is it not on the site? Well, I won't put games on this site because too many people will procrastinate and it will, as DivideBy0 put it, "undermine the purpose of this site."

There are PLENTY of specialist arcade game websites on the intarwebz. Go there for entertainment, come to VN for education.
