I don't think the issue is people forgetting that they're in a game, the problem is that people tend to lose interest in a game or are too lazy to keep making their turns after turn 1-3.

Plus, Map Games have always worked on pages, MITW and such are the only exception. Map Games that aren't like MITW require a much higher level of detail when being created, that's why they're done on page not threads. Not to mention that threads have a 500 messages limit.
