Back in the day, rampant spam-infested threads blanketed GC. To mitigate the damage and not run off people who enjoy such activities, the Word Games forum was born. Sure, I wouldn't mind all that stuff being obliterated from the face of the planet, but there are plenty of people who do enjoy that.

I fail to see how deleting it would boost activity. If anything, you would be killing activity even further. Sure, it isn't the best kind of activity to have, but your post counts,etc there don't count anyway(unless someone changed it). Right now it sounds like a bunch of kids on summer vacation whining that there isn't anything to do and they are bored. Rather than forming gangs to bully people, you should start forming programs to encourage yourselves and others to become active in constructive ways. I'm doing my part by trying to redesign the boards. What are you doing to make TFF a great place? Let's get busy, shall we?
