I want the Text Based Games back!!!!

Dear Scratch Team,

I miss the text-based games. Can the forum be brought back onto this site? It just makes it feel like it's the same community.  smile  Who else wants them back??

There's the TBG forums - it's the same community, just in a different place  smile

Here it is: http://scratch.mit.edu/tbgforums. TBG away!

You can't... Just add 'tbg' infront of the 'forum' in the forum link. Or book mark it.

Oh, ok. They should change that because it is incredibly difficult to get to unless you know where to look

Re: I want the Text Based Games back!!!!

The TBG is a different community. It's like the forumers and the RPers, but now it's the forumers and the TBGers. That's why I don't play anymore; because it doesn't feel right.

I'm pretty much the same. When it was on /forums I was there a lot. When it moved to /tbgforums I was like bleh. Now I go there once in a while to play a game that I wish was real or a movie. Or atleast an animation. But I can do that part. Movie is cooler.

Yea, they should move the tbg back, and make it the same community again. Or at least make it a little easier to find

Same with me. I use to play TBGs all the time, but since it moved, I never do.

What is it that makes you want to play in the TBG on the Scratch Forums and not at the TBG forum?  hmm

Ahhh... is it because of raising your post count?  big_smile   big_smile   big_smile

I think the new TBG is much better than the old - it has special moderators, it's separate from the Scratch Forums, there are Featured Games, there are Operation Cleanups where unneeded topics get cleared away, and so on. It's well maintained.  smile

It probably is better, I just don't really bother. It just feels like a whole different community to me. One where I don't fit in. (Not that I really fit in here anyway xD)

My guess is that's because there is a whole different set of people who use the main forums and the TBGs. The same would happen if the forum were located here.

Re: I want the Text Based Games back!!!!

I think the reason they changed it to a new and separate forum was because it was causing too much work for the normal moderators.

You're right!  big_smile

And also because it was a source of fights. It's not a problem in the new TBG - the moderators can focus on dissolving fights more; when it was in the Scratch Forums, the moderators had plenty of stuff to deal with - they couldn't spend as much time caring for the TBG as the moderators in the new TBG can.

Re: I want the Text Based Games back!!!!

I just go to misc., then add tbg behind forums in the url bar. It works, because both id's are 46. But you have to be in the index of misc., if not it doesn't work.
scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewforum.php?id=46
scratch.mit.edu/tbgforums/viewforum.php?id=46

You can also simply put scratch.mit.edu/tbgforums in your url bar.

Re: I want the Text Based Games back!!!!

It's not a matter of post count for me. The TBG just feels detached. Now that I think about it, the whole site feels the same way. I guess it's developed.
