Custom page + html flash game

[BBNZowner]

So I'm considering installing an arcade but at the same time I think it's important to keep add-ons minimal. Also, we're on a limited server so I don't want too much of my hosting being eaten by such things. So I was thinking, create a few custom pages with embedded free HTML flash games online.

e.g. http://www.onlinegames7.com/play/spreading-hex.html

What do you guys think?

Obviously we'd be missing out on integrating user profiles but as an arcade doesn't fit our forum focus, I think that doesn't matter anyway. Also I won't have the hassle of updating a mod/dealing with any issues associated with one.

On my youngest daughter's board (high school), we have a different game weekly. Everyone knows the new game goes up on Monday at 4:30 pm and comes down on Saturday at midnight. Her users have a lot of fun with it. Nobody takes it serious as it is not a gaming site. We post things like "most interesting score", "slowest game on record", "best misuse of time", "David played for 2 minutes and Died, but it was an honorable death ... and so on. Most of the game data we exaggerate in some way just to have some fun with the users.

She now has a team that finds the new games and assists her in implementing them on Sunday. (Less of Dad's time. finally. :))

In our experience the users have more fun with it when it is just a quirky thing to do. Anyway, just some input. I hope it helps.:)

Thanks for the reply, changing the game on a weekly basis seems like a fun idea! A lot of my users are in the younger high school demographic so it seems like that may work out, although, I may make it every fortnight so I don't run out of games xD
