    The first rule of gaming articles/posts: you do not mention the game titles

    I hate this. I understand when a for-profit company tries to do this. But too many posts hide the game titles for no reason.

    I created a magazine hoping that people who migrated from Reddit would find a new home. I intended to moderate the magazine, just to help the community grow.

    It turns out there just aren't enough participants. It would be pointless if the moderator is the only person contributing to the community.

    I don't see anything worth bragging about being a moderator. I do hope there is a way to "free" the magazine name so someone else can manage it.
