Hey,
I think we should create games which have OLGANON.org in the game title,
advertising the quitting of games for people who are interested in quitting them.
At the moment, I have a Starcraft game running, and it is called
"QUIT GAMING OLGANON.ORG"
MMORPGS i dont know if you can do this, but RTS games like Warcraft III: ROC and TFT and Starcraft and etc... games which you can make rooms, are opportunities to make advertisements for this site.
Thats my suggestion, still hosting that game at the moment.

Just a note I would put a longer game title in, but there is a very short limit of characters in Starcraft Game names.
I'm not sure this is a good idea, timmah. Our traditions states:
"11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; ...."
While it is good to let people know we are here, we shouldn't be putting ourselves in danger by entering these games.
This carries a risk of bringing trolls and griefers to our site. A good idea in theory, but probably not in the long run.
"Small service is true service while it lasts. Of humblest friends, bright creature! scorn not one
The daisy, by the shadow that it casts,
Protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun." -------William Wordsworth
We dont lend the Olganon.org name to ANY outside institution for a reason. Please stop what you are doing, it is against our traditions.

Ok, after about an hour, I stopped advertising.... please understand I never meant to be hostile to anyone or this organisation.
Of course you didn't! We know that!

p.s. Welcome to OLGA.
I was just thinking the same thing Jane.
Welcome to Olga Tim.
Even though the game idea didn't work out I think it's awesome that you thought about us and wanted to highlight to gamers the possibility of recovery from excess gaming.
I encourage you to come spend time here and reach out to those who are actually seeking help.They are the ones most open to encouragement. I find that when I reach out and help someone here, I am actually helping myself.
Stay strong Tim, and game free.. You are worth it.
Goes against suggested traditions 1, 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 I would think.
No, World of Tanks and Second Life, I will not play you or your brethren today. At least I hope not. one day at a tiiiiiiime. Last day I gamed is now 13 May 2012.
We would get a LOT of spammers!
