I like that the active discussions are listed on the front page, but I do not like that they are often word games. I’m just not at all interested in word games. Perhaps there could be more active discussions listed than currently are. Like, twenty or so. Just a thought…constructive criticism.

WP looks like people just come here for small talks. I would not have bet on this prior to joining....

I can't stand the stupid word/number games. They clog up your post count and the active discussions. The former is the reason I don't play them. I think the forum games section should be separate from the rest of the forum, where if you post there it won't show up on your post count but on another part of your profile instead: a button that says "see all forum games posts by [your name]".

The word/number games appear on the active discussions list because... they're active discussions, which in turn reflects their continued popularity.

Perhaps a more useful view/start page might be found on the forum list, here -
https://wrongplanet.net/forums
From there you can directly select a forum of interest.

Something more fine-tuned can be had from the "View subscriptions" list, here -
ucp.php?i=main&mode=subscribed
That will list the most recent replies only to threads you've subscribed or posted to.
If your browser supports timed page refreshes that can be activated to automatically provide near real-time updates.

Note that only posts you make will increment your post count; the activities of others elsewhere cannot therefore affect it in any way.

Don't judge a book by its cover? :chin:
There are many detailed discussions here but they won't come looking for you.
