That's worth exploring cause it doesn't hurt anyone to add it, but I don't share your enthusiasm that it will have a significant effect on Bitcoin or bitcointalk. Anyone who finds their way here are already interested in Bitcoin and can now explore other sectors of the forum, I guess it can keep the attention span of some users and reduce the ratio of new registrations who never actually use the forum, but that's just an assumption.

To the process of adding a new board, there needs to be sufficient traffic of discussions around that particular subject scattered around different other boards. This shows there is demand and a new board will actually be used and not just go inactive.

Exactly! It's worth exploring at the very least and it wouldn't hurt anyone to add. I don't blame you for not sharing the same enthusiasm as I do.

As far as the process of adding a new board, does anyone know if there is any evidence that people actually want a videogame related board?

there are lots of redundant sub boards on the forum that were created because they felt it was necessary at the time but later no one really visits them too often. I went through all the response on this thread and I don't quite see anyone that's interested in visiting the gaming board should it be created and this is not because no one playes video game here but because this is a forum that's mainly for crypto and financial thread, it's going to be rear for a board as gaming board to attract people to having meaning discussion in it.

The best thing to do could be to create a thread for it on the gambling board or in off topic and see how it goes with the discussion. I'm a gamer but since I joined the forum I had not considered checking out if we have such a sub board on the forum because that's not my reason for joining the forum.

For this kind of appeal to possibly gain ground, then we should have seen some few personalities that would be in support of your proposal but since we've seen non, it's assumed that this is a one man move and it's just likely far from being taken seriously.
