When/How Did You Discover Forum Games?

Declan A Walsh

My first contact with Forum Games was in November 2019, when I discovered a thread about One Hit Wonders. I'm not sure how I came across it - was it a random search or a link from another forum. I came to it from a music perspective. I had not seen (or knew) about the nominations thread so I was a bit confused! Having got over that, I started to take part in other songs threads, like the '70s, '80s and the '90s. Sometimes I nominated songs as well as voting. I also took part in a few Christmas related threads, like movies or songs.

I still from time to time take part in the music tournaments, but I discovered the strange but wonderful Sheep/Heeps/Peehs threads! What I like about them is that you submit your answers beforehand and your job is done. None of this watching the threads in case you miss a vote as per the music or movies tournaments. But the banter is brilliant and all those Gif attachments, which I am useless at doing - especially in the Reveal threads!

So, how did you get here?

Well for what its worth I would rather eat a slice of Toast than spend time around a Dog...

So to re-cap

Cat > Dog

Toast > Dog

Dog loses both battles, so the big questions is what wins in Toast vs Cat...

Never thought it would be something I'd have to compare, but these are the sort of things that happen in this great corner of the world that is Forum Games...

Still allergic to them, but...

Gotta go with Cat

Cat > Toast > Dog

Yes, great to see another person who doesn't like dogs.

Can't stand the bloody things

Love cats though!

Anyway, I discovered the forum just from the home page as it was a best song contest and with lockdown I got into the SHEEP games and even ran a WALRUS and SURLAW. Very friendly corner of boards and given I used to frequent the soccer forum it was a welcome change!

I think my first game was a wordplay sheep last year. Then a Father Ted tournament, and a few more sheep and peehs since.

Bit of fun, especially the reveal threads with accompanying gifs and comments.

Fair play to those who run them.

Oh and the Big Boardser House recently.

That was great crack.

Amen to that!

Has there ever been a dog breed SHEEP or PEEHS?

As for how I came about to be permanently incarcerated here.... I saw a Harry Potter SHEEP reveal pop up in my feed a good while back and thought I love Harry Potter, I would love to give this a go.

My first actual game was a rooms of the house kind of sheep which I won! But it was all a ploy to distract me as someone else locked the cell door behind me and I haven't left since and continue my search for a second shot at glory.

I've had some mixed results in walrus, winning a few and well coming rock bottom too.

I really like this forum as there's a great bunch of lads and the banter came be great. Anything that is a distraction from lock downs and work is a plus

Maybe not. Could be done somehow though

The curse of the stickied thread. Stick and die :pac:

Yeah, when I was an admin we tried to discourage too many stickies because a) they take up screen real estate, which can be an issue for some on the mobile site; and b) very often they're either obsolete or completely unnecessary after a short period of time.

They don't show as stickied on touch, it's just in with my usual threads

Guess it's pretty much a one time post for most people, then a few reactions. I can't tell you the story of how I found it again

They do. If you go into the forum, at the top, underneath the list of sub-forums, there are a number of threads (4 in FG) with a beige background rather than white. They're the stickied threads. Plus it says Sticky at the start of the thread title.

Oh yeah, oops. I only ever look at "My Forums" which collates them all

I said I rediscovered this place because I saw a post somewhere on EN's advent calendar. I remembered where I saw that - in the Christmas forum! Another happy happy forum

Yeah, I nervously set foot into Santa's grotto to do some publicity work! I wasn't sure it would be well received, but everyone was lovely and I think a few came and joined in

Still only March and I have 15 questions ready for this year's advent calendar

(mind you, that was true in January too, haven't looked at it since)

Ah there was no need to be nervous, we are a nice bunch over there.

Good to hear the advent calendar will be returning

There have been a few new names in the last week, even in the last few days, to this side of the house. How did the most recent "newbies" come across Forum Games?

nothing

Had seen it pop up every so often, and finally yesterday took the plunge. I think I'm here to stay
