No! Not of the website!

I think Armor Games should change the shortcut to the forums from community to, actually Forums. I have been on this site for a while, mostly as a guest, and not until minutes ago did I figure out that "Community" actually was a link to the forums. I'm 14, and if I couldn't figure it out, what are all those nine-year-old's going to do after they finish playing those gory games they probably shouldn't be playing anyway?!

And thats it. Please change the Forums link from "Community" to actually "Forums".

Your point is valid and i can see why you want it changed but don't you think that community is a better word for fourms well i do, anyway what about the people that are used to see the community button? I doubt that they would change the name because of one person there would have to be tons of complaints and some sort of referundum if the Mods were nice. Again you make a vaild point but i just don't see it happening.

I see this happening, in quite a long time.

Quite a number of people for some odd reason, didn't find the forums for months because they didn't get what a community is. There are probably people out there that still don't know.

That aside, isn't "forums" a clearer term? I don't get how "forums" would be more confusing than "community".

Well... first of all: this is a community space because all users can talk and ask somethings. It's true that it's like forum but I believe that it's better community because we are a big family!!!

And please if you can't play gory games... try puzzle and skill games or sport games... and don't say that things!!!

Good point, though forums still refers to a community.

What does that have to do with anything? I'm not talking about myself you know...

Don't mind him, we all know.

Not only 9 year old kids couldn't seem to realize what the community was, some older people didn't to. I don't get what is so hard.

I didn't really look for it. Kinda just stumbled on it while checking out the Blog.

Yes, thank you for being my personal spellchecker. I think you will have some friends over here.

Yes, it also didn't take me much effort. I was just looking around, opening everything up. Come on? Can you really go months without finding something that is one click away? Apparently yes.

That's terrible sad.

Plus, we don't want 9 year old on here anyways...

Took me, like nothing. :P

Apparently you can if you think Community is something other then a Forum. People could think it's some long boring thing to read about the community, therefor not many people would click on it to find out.

sorry shift4101 I know that you would say... but I misspelled the phrase. I was not referring to you, I was referring to people who can not choose the games according to their age!

Stay the hell out of our forums before I get carried away and troll them until they cry.

And I'm a terrible troll. -.-

I like it as it is. It keeps those 9 year olds who probably don't even know what the internet is from wandering in and screwing with out low spam count and generally decent grammar.

So no, I don't like the idea. It might give people a heads up to our tight knit community, increasing the count five fold, and that's the end of the AG forums as we know it.

This is AG, not AOL. 'You must be this intelligent to enter', comprende? If you can't understand that the word community and the word forum are the same (At least in this context) then should you really be on the site at all?

Well that isn't nice at all. I'm sure that when someone clicks a button that says "Community", they expect it to be one of several different things. I didn't even care until I saw that Forum posts give you Armor Points! Exciting isn't it? Who knew.

What else would they expect when they click on "Community"?
