the way I see it, you have to be able to make posts on the forums in order to earn the money to dress up the avatars. the forums, therefore, come first.
I don't care if someone wants to stick to only one little section or hangout that they like. But I see the games forum as, for the most part, a bunch of spam. and it's preventing people who otherwise really would be social and active in the community from doing so, just because it's a quicker and easier way to raise aurum and post count.

that's just my take on it. everyone was nicer and more active in the community before the games showed up. charities/quests are especially suffering right now.
