Chris (Bunni) is the owner of the site. MPM is an administrator, which means that he is one of the people in charge of day-to-day operations.

It's Propmaster's site, so if he was opposed to video games from the beginning I don't understand why he gave in.

Not all of the other Admins (there's about a dozen of us) feel the same way as MPM. Personally, I am not opposed to having video games on here. Even though the guns in video games are created by artists and do not exist in physical reality, the purpose of IMFDB is to identify weapons in the media. Since video games often don't use the real names of firearms (i.e. the AK-47 is called a "KF7" in Goldeneye for the N64), we are doing people a favor by telling them what weapons the games are depicting.
That being said, I agree with MPM and Checkman on one thing: Because many video game pages are often done by kids (under 18), we do seem to have to baby-sit those folks more than we do other members. I can't count the number of times I've had to delete poorly-done video game pages, or how many times I've had to tell users who created those pages to stick to the rules. It sort of comes with the territory, and it can be frustrating at times.
