Big Fish Games Forums are on the horizon!

[Post New]by bfgFlounder on May 22, 08 5:42 PM
Greetings Fish Fans!

I just wanted to stop by to tell you all we here at Big Fish Games are working on, shall we say, more "robust" forums for our games that you play and enjoy. As gamers, what would you like to see in a Big Fish Games Forums? We'd love to hear what you think, since we're making them for you :). Post any and all ideas you have right here. Happy gaming!

This is a great idea, I would like to be able to have access to the forum without having to go under just the two games we have now/ and to be able to chat with players while we are on line. The way you can with players in the online gaming community.

Flounder, you're back! We thought you abandoned us a long time ago! LOVE the idea of a general games forum, we've been busy clogging this one up with them all! Edna's idea was a good one, I'm for that too. I'd also like to be able to have "private discussions", where we could correspond with only those invited to join in, a place where we could share something personal like an e-mail address. And aside from the forum, it would be nice to hear about games you're working on, and tease us with some previews! Give us old girls something to look forward to!

Hey BFGflounder, it's great to hear from you again. I'd like to have easy access. Either a link to the forums on the main page, or on the first help screen. The one feature of the current forums I really like is that you mark in red those topics which have been updated since my last visit. I also use the ascending/descending sort ... but would like it at the top of the screen instead of the bottom.
Look forward to seeing the new forums ... you folks at BFG just keep getting better and better.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All for this, I also think that GinaBean has some great ideas. Private chats, easy access to the forums, and just think, getting some input without clicking back and forth all of the time. You know, you have to keep us "old gals" happy.

Hi Flounder. It appears that a lot of our topics/discussions were deleted. Are we only allowed to talk about games BF has? There are times when I would like imput on games BF doesn't carry. Thanks!

Thanks for your inquiry scotcat, it will help clear things up. Talking about a game that Big Fish doesn't carry is perfectly fine. However, I'd like to refer you to the thread in Tips & Tricks that discusses linking to outside sites. The threads, and comments deleted, were done so because they contained outside links. Please feel free to talk about such games, perhaps it'll give us ideas, but please do not post outside links. Thank you :).

Thanks! I was just wondering since the whole thread for "The Clumsys" was gone.

bfgflounder, you left us "floundering" (pun intended) for so long, without any monitor, that we were only trying to help each other out! C'mon, give the old girls a break here! If you'll read all the threads, we're all still loyal and stalwart BFG fans!

I understand, sorry to have been gone so long =/. But, I'm back now, and I plan on staying. So if any of you need help, please feel free to ask me. That's what I'm here for =).

Hey everyone :). I'll be going through the current forums and removing any threads that we can't transfer from here to the new forums when they launch. This will include:

[list]Threads for non BFG games[/list]
[list]Threads that are not gaming related[/list]
[list]Inappropriate topics[/list]

What will move to the new forums you ask? Well, all the threads about Madame Fate, Ravenhearst, and other Big Fish games will have a home on our new forums. Don't worry everyone, I won't be doing this right away, and you'll still be able to chat on the new forums :P. We just can't transfer existing chat topics over, they'll have to be restarted. You'll have until Monday (6/02) morning to look over any threads that fall under the above categories and copy down any of the information you may need.

While I can understand your reasoning behind this, it still saddens me that we will be losing our old gals social club which was part of the fun of coming here. I love the BF game site and all the wonderful games they offer. I will remain a devoted game club member, but as far as the forum goes, I will be spending more time on Gamezebo now for reviews and tips.

Happy gaming everyone!

I agree totally with you scotcat, it was our way of keeping in touch with all the BF gamers, they likes and dislikes on the games, and even talking about the families. I too understand your stance in this matter of the content of the forum, but I can see already we are losing the HO addict gang and that saddens me. Still and always will love the BF site. Happy gaming to all the ladies bye

I'm confused - can't the "old gals' social club" continue in the new forum?
The way I understand it is that Flounder will remove old threads - to me that doesn't mean that new ones can't be started again?
Please don't leave the forum - I've gotten so much information and advice from you I'd be lost without you!

I agree. Let's use the new forums and see what's what before jumping ship. It's been a pleasure having such a great "gang" of HO addicts to give help when needed ... plus all the alerts to new HO games at other sites. Sounds like we can still do that, just can't put in links. I'd sure miss ya'll so hope you choose to stick around.

Don't worry, you will absolutely be able to simply chat on the new forums. Your "old gals social club" will have a place there :). I wouldn't leave until you've had a chance to see what we're making for you ;).

I agree with Flounder on this. BF knows how we rely on each other for all types of things including the "old gals club". I know that I will wait and see instead of jumping to conclusions so fast. I will probably print some of the help and keep them in a folder for use again. My memory is not as good as it should be. I look forward to seeing what is coming up. It sounds to me like BF is trying to keep things the way they are but adding so new features. Change is hard. I just think they are adding and giving it a new look. Let's see what they can do for us.
