i remeber exactly one year ago today i just got into the forum games. i was sooo excited to see all the new stuff and fun RPG's, but nowadays there just word games like you're banned with NO original content, that was there when i first started ONE YEAR AGO!!!!! games are only posted for a few days, a week at most.
People dont have the want to play a game any more, they play it for giggles and not for fun. you can read it in there replys " i pick up the sword and hold it" back then it used to be " as i stand up i pick up the sword and brace myself for battle and i observe the area for any useful materials" that makes the Host want to play the game now its all work for the host and thats just not fun. So i guess my rant will end in this, can we please "step our games/gaming up" play it cause it sounds cool and not because your really bored, and that makes double for hosts, make a game worth playing, and not cause "i has a little idea in my head" devlop it a little, work on it, make it unique. Make it so your excited when postes on it and WANT to respond.

I remember those days, Personally I think trolls and floods of 10 year olds ruined everything because one of their friends found it. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, WARRIOR CATS IS THE NEWEST WEED ON THIS SITE! its way to easy to get into AG under the age limit by lieing about your age and making sure you don't tell about it. Its just way to easy to do it. After kids hear about free games there not supposed to play, they instantly flood into the site, ruining everything. The only exception I found was on TF2. I gave up on AG and went to Don't Cry Jennifer forums, everyone there accepts nice good communities. If only there were some age scanner built onto every site that scanned you and determined your age so you could not lie about it. If only that were the case....

there could be? like if you use and E-Mail with and invalade Birth date, if there were both different that MUST mean that there lieinf, or if they could see how old the email is if its under 10 minutes it meant that a 8 year old made it for this site

Well, to be fair, there have been only two or three warrior cats RPG's on this website.

But on the main topic, forum games are normally something a person does for maybe ten minutes. Basically, something to keep you busy. One can't reallisticaly believe everyone is going to be onlie 24/7.

We DO NOT have the technology. But us guys can dream. However, to be fair once again, I've met plenty of 10-12 year olds who could act mature and 16-20 year olds, act like they were simple. Maybe an a**holery meter on certain people or something.

Oh no! A whole YEAR? I tracked my first post down there to about November 2008. That thread has been there forever. Some threads are too easy to post in to die.

The forum games haven't changed much at all. There's still the simple small games like ^

I'm guessing the person above me is one of the kind that ruined the site, no?

I can agree that simple newcomers and young kids, (even though some of them can be smart) have seemingly lowered the quality of the forum. I've been here for about 3 years, and it's very notable.

Back then it used to be "As i stand up i pick up the sword and brace myself for battle and i observe the area for any useful materials"


Some of us still do play like that. Even if the game's host is being really simple, which doesn't leave much for the player to play from, then the player can sometimes make the most of it and try to be as versatile as possible.

well it seems to me that there is still a way to salvage the games. ive done many attempts on a "Forum Game Help" thread where we improve the quality of you idea in to a fun game but they never catch on. but then after my previous ranting i had an idea... why dont we just make a game for ourselfs...

for Hosts only, or at least experiance people who know wtf to do or how to play. i miss the feeling of wanting to update my game or th "ITS BEEN 2 MINUTES WHERE IS HE!!!" i miss that.

I would happily improve the condition of the site by playing regular forum games. By regular, I mean RPG's and RP's
