Please do not post forum games that have already recently been posted. This is to prevent pointless spamming on the forum.

Any new similar threads that are created will be locked.
This includes bumping old games.
Also do not post pointless games like add a period, add a 0, say yes then next person say no, etc.

Thank you
Forum Game Moderators

For months now, people have been creating spam threads instead of games in the forum games forum. The games forum is not made for the sake of post count however, it is for burning time and having a bit of fun.

I would just like to explain what is a game and what isn't.

Heres a game:

A game involves creativity and some thought.

"1 word story" - Simply make a long story by having each member reply with 1 word to continue the story.

"Letter games" - There are lots of letter games such as use the last letter of the previous word to make another forum user name. IE -legoman- then the next person would say ---mad--- etc.

Heres what isn't a game:

Anything involving copying and pasting or simply looking at a user's profile to find the answer.

"What time is it?" - Posting the time it is right now. This is not a game instead its just spam. This type of "game" can be posted in the spam forum :).

"How much rep power does the person above you have?" - Again, no creativity involved.

From now on threads that are seen as complete spam will be locked and may end up being moved to the spam forum.

Thanks
