My condolences on Space War - I just looked at it and it seems very
interesting.
Regarding your garage - I sort of agree with you but your idea allows
people to play around with suspected 'bad' games and ignoring the
thousands of 'not sure' games out there. Assuming you get a group of
people to playtest(that may not happen..), it seems the time is best
spending on games that no one is quite sure about. So more like a center
for test driving new cars or never before driven cars , or exotic cars ..

And there is no need in removing it from chessvariants is there?
Regarding comments on games, there are different directions this site can
go. Like Youtube which is essentially (in my opinion) a complete spam site
where everyone just flames the other videos - almost no constructive
criticism. I feel sorry for some of the real performance artists on
youtube - they get the worst comments of all.
Or like a writing workshop (e.g. critters.org) where members try to read
each the other's work and ideally give some constructive criticism. Being
a member there - it does work for the most part.
Or maybe stay the same - a little bit of both ..)
Anyway maybe my point being maybe Joes Garage can do more test drives of
new cars or never before driven cars as well . Or give some results of
already driven cars ..)
