I've thought and prayed about this decision a lot. I have now restricted the arcade to community members. In a special caveat, I have created a new membergroup called "Gamers" where we can add individuals from outside our community who have proven themselves mature enough to know what kind of website this is, and to behave accordingly.

My apologies to the many hundreds of people who had been playing here that no longer can. Due to the childish behavior of a certain percentage of you, I had to do this to protect the nature of this website, and the many young members we have here.

If you are among the group that no longer has access to the arcade, and you wish to apply for special consideration, just send me a PM.

Edit: in case you get strange notifications in your email about going into and out of the Gamers group... I had initially added all community members to that group, but in retrospect I realized I shouldn't. The Gamers group now contains only those who are not a member of one of the Coffeehouse communities, but who have access to the arcade anyway.

Just a head's up for everyone, on JUNE 20th all the scores in the arcade will again be reset to 0, and whoever is in the lead with the most gold medals will earn a special seasonal trophy.  At the time of this writing, that gives you all about 2.5 weeks to make it to the top!
