Hell no. It's the source of flames and stupid threads.
And, btw, I know you are being sarcastic.

But to answer, no.

Why do you need a spam board when there are such wonderful things like e-mail and messengers?

Bad idea, i am mod on a board that tried that, it got to 45 pages long and with 25 replies to each page, none the less people double posted "spammed" more so than they should have just to raise their post counts and it made the entire site lag because of the amount in the single thread.

Theres no point to it. If you want to come up with games (which is all such boards are used for other than advertisement) then feel free to post them in chillout (though make sure they're more than just one word reply threads).

i didnt mean 'spam' just like, fun posting, not posts like: dsafsdfsafds asdfdsaf just to raise post count, i meant a overall silly and funny board. that wouldnt raise your post count anyway. and there would be the rules to follow, of course. and i didnt know games where aloud in chill out. last time i knew of, they werent, maybe i should read the rules again, after six months, |

yeah they are allowed, just have to be well thought out and not "post a number" and "post your favourite colour" they need to provoke thought.

Things that require thought are fine, we had a fun board as a sub-board in chillout once, started off ok, but eventually it just went down hill.
Anything like count to x would be locked, same with x amount of words stories.

I suggested this to Oliver a while back, named Testing & Trashing.
As long as it was moderated properly, and cleaned once a week (for example, threads over 3 days old are deleted, stickies don't count) it would work fine.

It doesn't really provide any real value to the forum though.

It doesn't really provide any real value to the forum though. It allows a testing site though, so if people want to try something out then they use it. *shrugs* I dunno |

Don't disable the post count, so that I can get a bigger post count than Josh =P ...Did you just say that, or am I just not reading right today. - - - Spam Board? Hell no. What would be the point of a spam board? We're all better off posting in the Chillout.  Edit: A test board wouldn't hurt though, just keep the spam to a minimum. |

you dont need a test board, that's what the preview button is for. you can test things out without having to post them.
