Can Tabletop Games Codidact be given as the support site for a board game?

+2
−0

If I design a board game, can I list Tabletop Games Codidact as a place to ask any questions?

Does this depend on whether the game is free or paid for? Does this depend on whether the game is open or proprietary?

I imagine there is a difference between saying "Here is a site where you may find people who share your interests" and saying "This is the official support site for this board game".

My specific situation is that I'm considering releasing a board game which is free and open in the sense that anyone can make and sell boards without needing to apply for a licence or pay royalties, and anyone can release modified versions. As such I'd like players, board makers, and modification designers to be able to ask for help here. I'm interested in where the lines should be drawn in general (if there are any).

From a practical point of view, boardgamegeek.com is probably a better place to offer that kind of support because (a) it's forum-based, which is a better fit for discussions; (b) it shards by game, giving a stronger identity than a tag wiki entry. This comment shouldn't be interpreted as precluding offering support on both sites.
