Given the popularity of the "gaming" threads on the old forum, I'd suggest including a category/sub-category for such...or just annotate that they could go under General Highway Talk or Off-Topic.
Not every thread popular on the old forum really has a place in a roads newsgroup. Games like "guess the highway", for example, would certainly be appropriate here, and I would suggest General Highway Talk. But a lot of the games were completely off-topic, not even road-related like the Off-Topic section (i.e. license plates).
In other words, the omission was intentional :P
AlpsROADS summed it up best. We have the "Guess the infrastucture, etc" thread that we intended to combine all the separate threads into one - we felt that it got carried away, but no fun would be Bush league.
Highway/Bridge/Tunnel related game - stick it in General Highway Talk
otherwise put it in Off-Topic.
I don't participate in those game threads, but I think they should be in the off-topic forum. :spin: That way Highway Talk can be about threads like "what's your gas mileage", or "how many interstates have you clinched", or "which roads need an overhaul" etc.

I tend to agree with Chris. The "games" should probably be in one forum so that they are easy to find and off-topic seems to make the most sense.
