I know a lot of attempted forum games die, so if they were in a separate forum maybe they would get more attention. It would also be good for people who like participating in forum games because they can reply all at once instead of sifting through other topics.
It would also be an extra forum to clutter the index. People who don't participate in forum games may not want to see the forum.
Taking both arguments into account, I propose a publically joinable private forum. This would mean that the forum would not appear for anyone who didn't want to see it, but users could join it by themselves (i.e. without an administrator granting access). Specific forums can be set not to count towards the post count, so people wouldn't have to feel guilty about spamming in this forum.
The only difficulty would be defining a forum game. "Word Association" is obviously a forum game, but what about "#jj2 QooC" or "What are you listening to right now?"
