[Deptheads] Information Requested

[Janice Sellers]

Before it was open gaming, it had CCG's, until those were allowed to
take over the second floor and open gaming and (at least some)
boardgames were bounced to the penthouse.  This is why I am so
adamantly against any department being allowed to take over so much
space on the second floor.  Doing so marginalizes other departments.
CCG's used to be the 500-pound gorilla and everyone bent over backward
for them, but by the time they fizzled, open gaming and boardgames had
atrophied.  Currently boardgames is the 500-pound gorilla, but at some
point they will taper.  We shouldn't allow other departments to
atrophy in their wake.

I don't remember what ran in the Penthouse before CCG's.
