we players think they still need a more easy way to earn merts (i think people should earn more merts.)

Actually, I don't think there will be merits on AG3.

It would be cool though if they do. Merits are worth it, if the mods and admins will just check the comments.

Merits are being replaced with the reputation system. There's a stickied thread for discussion about it.

I have a huge problem with my account. I make sure that I save my progress in games, but everytime I log back on my saved games aren't there. Please help. :(

Since the goal of ArmorGames is to find and play games, you might want to take a page out of Google+'s book - specifically the circles idea. How this involves the forum is to integrate it into your game API so not only can posts be real time but link groups into games (plural, such as for clan activity or "fourth wall" roleplayers) designed for it. This could extend what forum games are, too.

For developers, this would give them additional tools if a special forum or topic is set aside for their game (perhaps easier set up moderation), special abilities that only forum software can give (special sort searches of users, thread searches to help with game support and design, in game forum).

Obviously, security and monitoring is important but I feel the extensability gained would be worth it. Also, if you integrate the forum side by side with the actual games being played you would be able to offer a new feature that would help "compete" with other sites like Kongregate without copying them.

Most important for me would be the "edit" button over a post available to the submitter. That way double and triple Posts would be reduced. Some forums have this already.

Hmm this is a very interesting forum anywayz i think people should understand its hard to migrate whole armorgames cause it has so many games and forum posts but my idea is now  U see this problem you should solve it in AG3 so you wont have this problem when AG4 comes out.

I agree with Doombreed. That would be a great thing to have, I could see the possible glitches and such but I think it would be worth it.

Another thing, how many posts have been posted to the forums here?

How long does it take to convert one person?

And how many people use the site?

On the forum home page you can see how many topics and posts are in a forum section.

What do you mean by convert?

I think the admins know, but I've never seen them mention it.

But what does all that have to do with ideas about the forums for AG3?

It's been in discussion, so hopefully it will be implemented.
