    You should really limit the number of games that one author can post in one day.

    This idea would certainly help to keep games from going into oblivion before the world passes through a 24 hour cycle. I was under the impression that this was being followed, but recently that hasn't been the case. New games, if they are lucky, last 1 day, 5 hours! I personally have unpublished games and I wait until my entry disappears before I publish a new one, so everyone can create.

    Ronald:

    I don't go to quite your extreme, but I also try to limit what I post. In my case, 2 per day at most.

    Anyway, sometimes my games last for a couple of days, maybe even 3 in low-traffic times. Other times, they are gone in less than 24 hours.

    It's hard to predict what times will be high- or low-traffic, but as time goes by, the low-traffic times become less common.

    At wikipedia they have a link called "Randon Article", maybe something like that ("Random Game") might help to "discover" games that haven't been played in a loooong time... I don't know, just a thought.

    Actually, there is something kind of like that now. When you get to the info page of any game, there is a "related games" area that shows you 3 games from the same area (science, geography, history, etc.)

    In the upcoming upgrade that section will remain, and will be augmented by a section on games by the same author.

    Not fully random, but if you're playing a game in entertainment, you'll get more of the same subject to pick from.
