Maybe "games I'm applying to", "games I'm casually following in case there's an opening later", "games I'm actually playing in" or something. There could be a character limit -- I'm not that picky. :D

You could limit it to 6 headers or something to keep space consumption down, then the table with their sticky list can just have an extra 1 byte column for header id, and a new table is just a list of headers and their ids.
No idea if that'd be too much though.

I would go with "Games You Play In"; "Games You Lurk"; "Games You Contacted the Gm"; "Games you Peruse".

Sat 19 May 2018 at 02:00 | Custom headers to put games under on the main menuI know people have asked for a way to separate games they're in from games they're just watching before, and it's been pointed out that that would require the system to go in and check every game every time your list comes up...
"Doing it yourself," I'm not sure has come up before, though!
If this is reasonable, I think it could be awesome. I'd probably sort mine by speed. It would probably have to be something that you do in User Preferences, which might be a little bit inconvenient, but at least to me, seems better than trying to wedge a dropdown menu or something onto the main screen.

+1 from me.

One of the advantages here, depending on how jase has it set up, is that it just adds a column to the player's sticky list and extra player data (and that only if the player uses it, which it could be disabled by default to save space), thus there is no need to enter each game for status.

I'm a huge fan of this idea.

Put a dropdown box under "Your Game Preferences" and sort by something like Watching/Applying/Playing and there you go. Make some extra headings on the main menu page and there you go.
