Actually, there's no need for the game queue to automatically create games for this purpose. Rick or someone else can just login everyday and check if a new game is needed and create one on the fly. So that's not an issue.
About the forum being a requirement for games, we could move all discussions from the forum to the game queue chat area. That's why I created it to help replace the forum side of things (and to mimic Fall of Rome style of play). Currently, the chat window has a 3-day message timeout but I could remove that limit.
The problem is that players don't use the game queue other than to join a game. So, the real question is how to convince players (both old and new) to move their discussions to the game queue chat area. Then the forum could become obsolete.
About all of the new changes to the game coming up, I'll try to get as much done during the xmas holiday but it's alot of work. Some of these changes are not easy to code but I'll do what I can and start with Rick's priority list. I'll give an update later this week on how things are going...
