I actually want to get something like this started on a High School level. It would be a great way for students who may not be "physical specimens" to learn how to compete and work as a team in a more cerebral environment that does not include chess.

My choices of games would have to limited to keep excessive violence and obscene content at a minimum (mainly to keep parents happy as I think most teenagers are able to handle M-Rated games), but I think it could actually work. If you could get other schools to follow suit, there could be leagues and championships like any other sport.

You might think no one in charge would ever go for it, but I think as more and more older folks were actually raised on video games, the possiblility is only getting better. Plus, many parents might actually view this as a blessing if their kid spends hours upon ours by himself playing video games. Playing the games ina social setting would be a huge improvement in their minds.

Wow, actually a lot of good ideas have been tossed, kudos especially to Neo, Kryptonite and Fox6....I think i might actually set up a trip to Playdium...a who could get further in a game is good, kinda like that old show "Video Arcade top 10", unfortunately we need multiple tvs.

And Neo, actually that is a GREAT idea, not only to bring an easy to remember URL to gamers, but as well to heighten the traffic around here. Thanks a lot.

If you can generate enough interest I can setup a forum for you, we just have to figure out what form it would take. Maybe a subsection of the general forum, though I want it to be visible and not buried somewhere.

He kind of owns the place. I think he has a few more powers than a mere mod.

EDIT: Just realized that Scalar2342 is a new admin. Is he paying the bills too?

Also, will the rest of us be able to access this new forum? I don't like the idea of forums that I can't get into. The staff forum is bad enough.

Don't worry about that, I'm about to smack him down.

Yes everyone will be able to access it. It may not even be necessary, it just depends on how many people Gimpy can bring and in what capacity he wants to make use of the forum.
