Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I followed a thread in after hours started by Jayop where he was talking about a game called werewolf. People were interested but in true after hours fashion, loads that were not in a game would post in the game thread anyway. The charter didn’t allow for member to be banned from threads and so forum games was born.
I’ve been here since it was all fields and storm names

Can't remember the very the first one but I think it might have been a music one. I know I stumbled upon it because I didn't even know there was a games forum(I wasn't around in the AH days). Think I was part of two or three before I noticed & follow the actual forum :pac:.
A music one would have caught my eye over an actual game, but I do love the sheep games now for the same reason's you've mentioned yourself 0 -

Jayop for me too, he posted in the soccer forum on the United thread about Werewolf, id seen it a few times pop up and was curious about it before then but had a crack then when I realised it wasn't a little cliquey private side of boards0 -

I saw "Mr. Kingsley and Barney92's Walrus" thread pop up on the Latest Posts section of the homepage when they threw up their sign-ups thread in October '19, and I thought it was gonna be a feel-good thread about a couple of boardsies adopting a Walrus so I clicked in to see what the craic was, but it turned out to be something far far greater, and the rest is history...

My brother discovered forum games and told me about it. I'm not going to tell you he is for shame of association. It could be a game someday- guess who is Reberetta's brother!
Before this forum I had about 91 posts. I don't partake in posting on any forums other than this one.0 -

I was a seasoned Boards.ie user long before I became aware of Forum Games. Before I got really into the Forum Games, by far the largest number of posts by me were for the Radio forum, followed (initially anyway!) by Music, Films and Television. In fact, I came to Boards.ie in the first place because of references to it from radio anorak sources, including a dedicated site for radio anoraks!0 -

Crazy to realise that it was 4 years ago and I have no idea how, but I stumbled on a Werewolf thread and started reading. I think I lurked a bit before I signed up for the Harry Potter game and the rest is history.
I even got my current username from playing in this forum. Uriel was repeatedly calling me Ectoplasm because...well Uriel. So I changed it for a laugh and it stuck 0 -

Haha, we'll have to do some analysis to see if we can work it out
I shared the story of my finding FG in a post on another thread (thanks Rikand!)
https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=116182599&postcount=134
It was only 6 weeks ago :eek: my post count before then was 150ish in 11.5 years.... now at 950+.... 0 -

I came across a Peehs thread on the front page and had a look simply because I was curious as to what a Peehs was. That was nearly two years ago and I haven't been able to escape yet. Somebody please get me out of this hellhole!!! 0

Actually, it wasn't even two years ago
I can't remember the game I first saw but it was sheep I think, I followed along and it looked fun. Just looked and the first one I entered was a Peehs in May 2019, back when Rikand was just introducing them, I think. By August I was dabbling with running a game.
I still sometimes feel like I'm still quite new here, but then I remember all the users we've lost along the way and I feel quite old
Thank goodness for all the young blood joining up and keeping us going!0 -

That was the same game I started with. 0 -

I've been following werewolf games since the start, as jayop used to rep the games over in the soccer forum, although i only started playing this year as I previously would not have an ounce of time to play.
Same with regard to following from the start. But i was on a self-imposed exile from werewolf at the time after finishing up playing on another forum. I didnt play until I felt I could again 0 -

It was probably around 2018/19 ? I was living overseas and in evenings when I had nothing on would be spent on boards.
Can't remember the first game I joined but there were a lot more quiz type games then, I remember.
It's probably 2019 when I won my only Peehs or sheep tournament!
I also introduced a work colleague to FG, and I always make sure to beat them in games 0 -

I will claim 2 victims then
I have been knocking around here for the last 4 years. Started in the 20 Questions game (man that was fun, we should look at reviving it)

Anywho, a couple of lads there, I will name no names, suggested I play werewolf. Well you know how the rest goes...0 -

I'm not 100% sure - it's like Stockholm Syndrome in here
I was reading through one of the first Paint Reveal threads, I can't remember was it live or afterwards, or how I even found it in the first place
But I do remember bursting out laughing several times while reading it, and I either made a made a mental note to keep an eye out for the next one, or maybe sign-ups were already open for it? Not sure, but it was Paint that brought me here 0 -

Didn't even know you could do this
Just checked mine and turns out it was Omackerals All Ireland Landmark Tournament that reeled me in! :pac: how could I have forgotten.
I wasn't part of it, but I read it afterwards & commented that I thought it was great. So it's his fault I'm sniffing around these parts now 0 -

I think it was seeing the Simpson's Werewolf game on the 'Latest Posts' page that first made me aware that Werewolf was a thing. It seemed really intriguing so I decided to sign up for the next game, and from there I found out that Werewolf was a Forum Games subforum. I then visited the main forum and found myself a new regular haunt.
I've barely played Werewolf since because I quickly learned that I am absolutely terrible at it; thankfully I've fared somewhat better in SHEEP (though not so much in HEEPS) 0 -

Speaking of which, there must be loads of people on here who never played codenames before. Its a fun game, we should get more on the go. I remember the good old days when there'd be games every day
Just found this actually. An official site for playing the game is now live.

Any chance that a Sticky could be placed on this thread, as there is a constantly evolving membership in Forum Games, and this could act like a record of who has come and gone and of newer members over time? Just a thought! 0
