I love that BYC is a family orientated site and how it attracts chicken lovers of all ages. I also am all for having a section where people can let off steam, play around and have fun, but I have to say the Games section seems to be taking over the whole forum. I like to click on Recent Posts and browse the different threads from there but recently all I seem to see are Crazy this and that, threads about Facebook games and all other manner of non-chicken related stuff that I am not remotely interested in. I'm not suggesting that this section is taken out of the forum completely as I realise that there are a lot of youngsters on the site and I can think of worse things that they could be doing on a Sunday night, but is there any way that it could be hidden from the Recent Posts page please because it's driving me crazy! I'm sure I can't be the only one that gets annoyed having to click through pages and pages of "fun" to get to some serious chicken related threads on a chicken forum?

I agree. I am a busy person and when I get on to check I usually have to make it QUICK and it would be much easier to sort thru without the Fun n Games taking up at least 50% of the first page. And I've got my page view set to 75 per page!

You're not alone. While I love the "family friendly" aspect of BYC, it seems the teens/tweens and some playful adults have taken over. Since my interests are varied, I also respond to the Recent Posts page. The Index Page doesn't show which topic of the forum a post is in and has led to some shocks for me.

I'd like to see the Games moved to a separate area, no longer on the Recent Posts page. Just a few days ago nine of thirty threads on the Recent Posts page were Games.

And most were just variations of the same old crazy stuff.

Does that mean you are still thinking about whether to do it or not, or it's on the to-do list? Thanks.

Uhm, how did you see this post? Do you work off the Recent Posts page or the Index? There is a Games, Jokes & Fun section, and the objection here is that it's taking over BYC.

While I don't agree with removing it entirely, I would like it to be taken off of the 'Recent Posts' section. In fact, what about taking the social section out of the 'Recent Posts'?
