I guess the text-based games forum will be deleted

Come on, I doubt it. Even if lots of people support the idea, it just wouldn't work... though if it does get deleted, please don't shout to the world that my prediction was wrong. 

I've hacked google and if your prediction is wrong the google logo will be a replaced with one that says "Chrischb Was Wrong"

You know, while reading this thread, I'm just a bit surprised to find out the outcry of the opposition to Jonathan's post on the basis that the 'Text-Based Games' forum is 'fun'. It makes me a bit worried that this forums, and not Scratch projects, is slowly becoming the basis of entertainment on Scratch.

So far we have eight supporters (not to mention tons of non-supporters):

archmage

Chrischb

TheSaint

Tons more than I expected... I thought no one at all would agree. 

Really? All those people? O_o

I can believe that archmage is on the list though. He's always trying to ruin the fun.

How about a separate forums for non scratch topics? So many irrelevant threads takes the focus away from scratch.

I agree with archmage.

Textbasedgames are becoming a big no-no. 

hmmm... but games might spam the other sections too. I know that there used to be all those game topics in inspiration and more. Archmage's idea is a good one.

True, But we RPGians would (If it ever happened) that all Data and Posts of all RPG's are put over in the "Other" forums, So we don't have to build them up again.

True, Inspiration and more would become an RPG flooded mess
And if we deleted Inspiration and more, the whole forums would be clogged 

I've thought about it and this is my suggestion:
Delete the text-based games but keep the inspiration and more,
you can still have surveys and stuff on inspiration and more.

That's why I miss the old-times. 2007 scratch was the "golden age".    But now we have all this. People who quit. Meaner people. The most recent fad of the quitting thing is "I'm going to die in 2 weeks".

I just created a thread in the suggestion section that might help with this if it goes through

That's a very good point: People don't want the Text-Based Games to be removed because it's fun. That's horrible!

There's only one reason why the Text-Based Games (and Inspiration and More) should be kept. The same reason they were created: to stop games and things appearing on All About Scratch and more. But this problem is easily remedied: forum moderators can simply delete or close the topics. People will learn not to start them.

big-bang! You were the one who started up the Text-Based Games! What an honor!
If the Text-Based Games gets deleted, I will change my signature:

big-bang created the Text-Based Games. I destroyed it.

Okay. I get your point but you're saying  people wanting to keep the fun is bad?! I know it's ("supposed" to be) a programming website, but where else would we put the RPGs? Soon they might say we can't RPG in the galleries because they galleries weren't made for them!
