The RMN Games database has become bloated with crap and abandoned projects. Help us clean it up!

A lot of the projects in the database don't actually meet the minimum submission guidelines and overall have very little effort put into them. It's better to have a clean and tidy database than having to sift through mounds of garbage.

Eh? Why delete? To be the devil's advocate here, why not just put inactive games in an inactive section of the site? If a game hasn't been posted two in three months, stick it in a separate game that must be re-activated. Deletion is a waste of time and resources. Lots of these games have good resources and ideas that might be inspirations for future designers. If you delete those games, not only will those authors be royally pissed off (probably most of them, though you might inspire some through fear to put up an extra screenshot or something), but being that most RM projects take forever to make because the authors are amateurs AND many games take over 1 year to make because one person is making them and the point of posting a game isn't to immediately give a downloadable product but rather a way to discuss development...
Anyways, I don't want to belabor the point. Suggestion: mark games as inactive so they automatically are not included with the active games. (I also cross-posted in the forums.)
