    I'm not sure what can be done about it, but these forums are being abused by developers who are bent on marketing their apps.

    1) Main threads for some games are being continually bumped to the top by developers and their minions. See 180 for a perfect example. Almost the entire thread is devoted to marketing the game. The dev has bumped the thread over 500 times, and one of his buddies has bumped it over 200 times.
    Blue Hole 3D was another example of devs gone wild.
    But they are not the only ones. Now the devs of games that are going nowhere are starting to use the same tactics, and it's turning the games forum into a spammers paradise.

    2) Developers are starting new threads where they don't belong, like in the "Freebies" forum.

    3) Do we really want a new thread in the Freebies forum for every free app? Or every app that's "On Sale"? I don't think so.
