Question Arcade Wipe!

Activity in the arcade has been stale as of late, partly because many of the games have hard to achieve high scores. So, I'm asking you, the Digitally Wise community, would you like to see an arcade wipe and would it renew your interest in the arcade?

I'd say do it but, at least make a sticky thread with the people who now have the high scores so there is an official top list. And if someone breaks it, just edit the post.

Just leave it... If the scores are hard to achieve, then the people who got the high scores deserve them. What would wiping scores achieve? Nothing, IMO...

I agree with Jedi. Wipe it, but keep a record for people who will be defense about losing their scores.

That's an excellent idea.

It would hopefully achieve renewed interest in the arcade and hopefully make it more active again.

Well, list some games you don't want around anymore as well as some you want to stay. There are at least a few key games I won't be getting rid of, but I can certainly look for more.

I'll check to see if it's been converted for v3arcade, but many flash games aren't (yet).

i dont think you should wipe out the high scores. then if someone got something thats pretty much impossible for anyone else to reach they should keep it.

So far, the results of the poll tend to disagree with you.

What happened to wiping this? More importantly, why is this in the Watercooler and not in the Gaming Thread or Site Announcements?
