I'm not sure why but it bugs me that the description for the games and video games is: "Are you the next Bobby Fisher or are you more of a Gary Kasparov? Do you have what it takes to battle Big Blue and win every time? When you visit Las Vegas do you count cards in order to cheat casinos out of their money?"

Okay, okay, I know that it probably hasn't changed since the time the forum was first made. I also know that when it says 'Games and Video Games' it means the broader range of conversation about card games and board games and the like. Although it seems that this area of the forum is really Video Games more than anything else.

Am I just being weird? Or does anyone else think that the description should be more accurate to what conversation mainly goes on in here?

I don't post in this section much, but I think that the description of this sub forum. A times have changed since the description was made and much many more of us play video games than we play board games.

As long as it serves it purpose, I don't really care what the description is.

That description of this forum is ridiculous sounding, and it doesn't describe anybody or anything I see posted here. It also sounds really nerd like.

Well when I first checked out the forum a few days ago, the description threw me off completely and only checked this area on a whim. I honestly thought it was going to be slightly about video game related rather than what it pretty much is as a whole ;P

Boy was I surprised!

You know what would be a better description?

"Go here for tips on Clue, stories of big wins at Poker, or when the next Shantae is coming out, to give a few examples."

Short but sweet.

I guess the reason that this forum is dominated by video games is merely that those are what are most popular, not so much that people find the description unfit for other games (which I would like to see more of; sounds like I need to start a thread). I actually came here looking for trading card game discussion.
