taking a guess....

games and coffee house used to be one forum with general but general mental problem and questions about mental problems got lost in the board.

result separate forums one for games and gaming like questions and one for general mental problems questions/ problems/ postings.

then because the games board was getting laid down with questions threads like have you evers, which is better's ... poll like questions and the actual games discussions were getting lost, those two were broken up into the games and coffeehouse.

the links were so that those in coffee house could easily jump to the games and those in games could easily find the coffeehouse when it was first broken up, you know like when they move a thread somewhere else they leave a marking link so people can find that thread.

games in distractions because people use games to distract their self from problems, the coffeehouse is at the top because...... sometimes...... the poll like questions do have to do with a problem but the poll like question doesnt fit in with another board. its more suited for talking about pets and general life not quite a mental disorder.
