Fellow Armor Gamers, I bring to your attention an impending crisis: the death of the forums. No, the forums are not totally dead, but it is dying. Yes, there is plenty of activity in the Tavern and in other places in the Forums, but the quality of the threads are slowly deteriorating and the activity of the forums is dwindling.

Yes, the forums of Armor Games are dying. Many Veteran forum users have left, and I do not blame them. Yes, we all have things to do besides go on Armor Games, and that is understandable. But, if we do not do something to rectify this crisis, then Armor Games will cease to become the best gaming website on the Internet. How does this even apply to Armor Games as a whole? If we improve the quality of the forums on Armor Games, then there will be more traffic coming in to Armor Games, which means more people visit the website and play the games here, and we will continue to be the best gaming website in the Internet.

My fellow Forum Users, this is what we must do: We must revive the Forums. There needs to be better quality threads in the Tavern, better Forum Games, compelling topics and debates in the WEPR and above all, more activity. In doing this, we will bring back the forums to its former glory. We will bring the Forums into a new Golden Age. Yes, it will be hard. It will take a long time. But we can all do this, for we are Armor Games, and we are Armor Games Strong.

@pangtongshu Have a full suite of dice, including D20. So D&D is completely possible. Also, dice rolls aren't editable.

@Ferret why are you not starting a game in the Forum Games right this second!

I always thought it would be fun to have a role-playing forum game with artist/text, directed by the people in the forum. There was a fun one I was watching a while back... I can't remember the name, but it was about this cat going on a role-playing adventure.

Also, the team is working on some small tools for forum games that we may see soon. Possibilities are Coin Flipping, Dice Rolling, Card Playing. So start thinking of some fun forum games with those.


@Ferret

You mean that the Forum Games will become more interactive?

A strong influx of activity will lead to more spam, but in the long run the spam will be weeded out and the quality posters will remain. In my opinion that's a far more efficient system then waiting on people to show up.

That is exactly what we need to do. When we play games on AG, we need to let users know about the Forums and how great it is. Also, a bigger Forum button wouldn't hurt.

I'm probably the worst artist ever when it comes to deadlines.


Hey, at least your artwork turns out phenomenal!

YOU MUST SACRIFICE ALL RESPONSIBILITY! You have to deliver. That's the rules of the Interwebs.

I'd prefer quality over quantity for most things. But the Golden Armor Initiative will accomplish both.
