The fraxy section of your forums is described as:

"Because we all know quite well that games are more fun to make than they are to play."

But ya can't make many types of game with fraxy so why not

1) change it to a general game creation forum

and

2) move it to the creativity forums as it would belong more there than any where. How can art & music written creations be classed as "creativity" yet some thing that is created and contains elements of all three be classed as "fun & entertainment"

Yet the only thing implying making many types of games is the forum's description and your understanding of it. The threads seem to focus specifically on Fraxy, as do the threads in SMRPG and SMW hacking focus on SMRPG and SMW.

On the other hand, a game creation forum would solve a lot of "where do I put this" puzzles:
1) Programming forum -- not all game creation systems require actual programming (for suitable definitions of "programming").
2) Screenshots of your work -- if it's not romhacking, can you put it in romhacking's screenshots thread?

I'd say do both. Keep the Fraxy forum (perhaps with a nitpicky edit on the description), and if there's an interest in it, add a general game creation forum.

.

I would have surely made it easyier for me to decide where to put this:

I like the idea of this, but would enough people use it?

it's a fraxy section specifically for fraxy and the Fraxy Compendium Redux Community. So what if the little description is a tiny bit misleading, if even. Everything in fraxy is customizable, so you can technically make it a completely different game. Especially through the use of Try files.

sooo, no

EDIT: though I do like the idea of adding a General Game Creation section separately
