Name any game, and I will make a folder for that game

Why don't you maybe make a folder for the Arkham Horror game series and other series of games? That way, when you get more people coming here (things like that unfortunately tend to take time), you won't have as many folders to manage.
Do you go to any other sites where you could tell other people about here and link to it? You COULD create a Goodreads list on this site. I don't know how visible it would be, and also, from past experience, once the lists here are created, they can't be deleted, so don't ever create one if you think you might wish that you hadn't in future!
But I thought maybe a "Books Gamers Should Read" or "Books People Interested In Games And Gaming Should Read" would be interesting, and maybe people might see that and add what they like to read. Some people go to school for gaming (my husband used to teach it). There are technical nonfiction books on gaming and creating gaming art. Are there fiction books that you think gamers in particular would really like?
There are also "Art of Whatever Game" books with related art in them, for both artists and non-artists.
Like I said, I don't think lists can be deleted, so maybe if that bothers you, you could just make a folder here in this group about books related to gaming? Like maybe link gaming and games to books more because this is a site about books predominantly.
I'm just throwing out some ideas to help.

Have you given up on this place?
If you haven't, I've been thinking that maybe you could start a new poll and ask people if there are any books they'd really like to see made into games, ask them to write in responses there, and if they want to talk more about video, card and board games, they could come to this group. I guess you could start a thread about that topic here too?
I've also wondered about the title here--not that I'm criticizing it! I actually like it! But, uh, I don't think you want just me here lol. I think having a laid-back relaxed place to talk about gaming is good, and that's why I joined--because of your description. But maybe calling the place The Gamer's Lounge instead might make people feel more inclined to join? There aren't anywhere near enough laid-back places on the internet, IMO.

BTW, I had used your new horror folder and posted about Arkham Horror games, but after a few days when it looked like I was the only one here anymore, I felt embarrassed over having posted it so then deleted it.
