Split photo contests / games into separate board

I'm somewhat reluctant to endorse adding a new board, as there are already 24 of them for most logged-in users, not even counting sub-boards.

1. What if users are not allowed to start new game threads themselves on that board, but they start them elsewhere and would have to get them moved if they catch on?
2. Make the board only visible to logged in users.
Scott5114:
I don't see how either of those would solve anything. #1 would just make more work for us (having to decide which games are "worthy of being moved", and also moving them) and #2 would still mean that logged-in users would have 25 boards to scroll through (and admins more than that).
So if we did this, which boards would you want deleted?
Rothman:
I think I'm for reincarnating the games board and getting all the games in there. The years-long experiment to limit games threads has failed. "Cluttering" is an appropriate term since they're everywhere on the forum now and it's annoying.
I do most of my forum-surfing through Tapatalk, so I don't scroll through the boards -- just unread posts. And having that board classification helps me skip posts I'm never going to be interested in personally.
I see this benefit with the Fictional Highways board already. Imagine if all that crap was spread across the boards. Games are cluttering up boards that really should be devoted to actual information or questions about such.

Is there any chance my suggestion of using "Photos, Videos, and More" as a location for all game threads would work instead of a whole new board?

The Travel Mapping board has been obsolete for the past 6 years as well so that one could be a candidate for deletion/repurposing.
