Looking at the stats for last week:

412 games started on WarGear Warfare

12 games started on Global Warfare

Is it time to retire Global Warfare? Does anyone have any objections?

is there any reason to retire it?

I agree, is there a reason? (Allow these two boards to being the small exception to multiple boards IMO.)

I would be hesitant to say retire due to Rankings would then get "set in stone", which a bit uncool.  Even more uncool would be to remove the Rankings for the existing players.

This is a tricky issue. Agree in principle with those that are adverse to forced retirement criteria. You could have some kind of board limbo that makes them default as hidden ..or perhaps some kind of "semi-retired board" archive.

The Board page is beautiful but sometimes I just want the data with popular filters clickable at the top of each column.  I haven't been following the requests here closely, but has anyone asked for an alternate spreadsheet style format with no thumbnails?

I agree here as well.  Retiring Global Warfare would also spark the question of retiring all the other basic Risk style maps other than Wargear Warfare (War, Risk Normal Map (D), etc.)

Since when is a low count of starting game a reason to withdraw a map? I am probably a bit biased tho cos I played a lot of games on it to get a good ranking and id be sad to see it all go away :(

Still this map is still in the top10 in the "started games" list so it is played quite a bit. Leave it imo.

Fine I'll leave it as is.
