I think it would be far less demeaning and judgmental for you to refer to players in this condition as chemically enhanced, rather than shitfaced.
Vlad?

Sack Flo. Beating decent salt of the earth forum knobs to the punchline on an actually quite funny shitfaced joke... it's just not ok.

I dont know where I got this idea from but I think we should name it silly games. Thought of it on my own. Ive not even had a beer.

If it ends how mine did then I suggest you delete any footage of this immediately.

So you have people that want the name to change because the word "silly" doesn't describe Silly/Forum Games well enough.
On the other hand you have the usual, people dislikeing change that was made for change's sake.
Honestly, ugh... The name Silly Games doesn't need to be changed. It's not like these games are experiencing a shortage of players. It would make sense to me to change it if you felt like the name was just putting new people off from joining.
And honestly, if some games have less people playing than usual, it's probably because the game is the same every season. Like look at what Ahmet did with F1FG. The game has so many players and so many posts, I don't think I have ever seen a F1FG's forum thread so active. Changing the name of the forum won't bring what creativity will.
Also, dolphins are overrated, I prefer seals.

Entirely depends how you look at it - is there a crisis here? No, of course not.
% wise are the vast majority of managers ignoring that part of the forum and not participating...yes. Consider the fact that GPRO has ~7,000 active managers racing and yet less than 30 people voted for the Oscars Silly Game award last season and the highest amount of players playing even the most popular forum games (e.g. Ahmet's F1FG game) is about 50. The most amount of players I've ever had playing one of my games was about 100 or so and that was YEARS ago.
Another way to look at it - right now if we said there 200 managers playing Forum Games (and I'm being generous with that number I reckon), that represents 2.8% of the 7,000 total GPRO player base.
That's the point...will changing the name of the forum lose any current players? Seems highly unlikely. Might it attract a few more if we get the name right...maybe. Hence my opinion, that changing it is a good idea.
Exactly what to change it to is the question at hand...!

I'm highly offended by the use of the word nonsense here. I'd propose silliness instead
