"So," I asks myself, "self: does the world need a Metafilter-like site dedicated to gaming?" The answer I got back was "Hell, yeah!" and Gamefilter is the result. It's the newest site in the burgeoning network of MefightClub websites,ripped off from inspired by Metafilter and fitting somewhere in between our more chatty private forum and the more long-form Full Glass Empty Clip group blog. You don't need to be a Mefight Club member to join in; registration is open to all.
So please do come, join up, post some stuff or join the conversations, earn a few achievements and exchange them for cash and prizes†, and if you run across one of the many bugs I've missed, post it toMetatalk Gametheory, and I'll try to fix it.
Thanks as always to mathowie for building the community from which MFC sprang, and the inspiration in particular for this new site. It's not a clone, it's an homage!
† Cash and prizes may not actually exist.

This looks great, and has a lot of potential! I tweeted it for you.

Yay! I've been really enjoying it so far but wishing for it to go public so some more bodies could help busy it up a bit. So glad it's launched.

I tried to make an account, but I think I'm too dumb to figure out the BiologicalEntityCheck. No matter what I type in, I get:
"Sorry, please answer the question again"
I don't know the answer. :(

All set now, thankyouverymuch.

Sorry about that. Maybe I'll make the question/answer pair a little clearer...
