Hi.  Yikes!  I don't know if I'll get back here.  Fortunately I hadn't cleared my history so I just scrolled down.  I'm replaying NORTHERN TALE to get more awards.  There is one that isn't mentioned in the Game Forum but people have said they got them all.  I started a Hidden Mysteries but decided I wanted an easier game so went to BCA: TOKYO.  Can anyone recommend a game like ARIZONA ROSE?  I have WORLD RIDDLES and WORLD MOSAICS but they are much harder -- no power-ups.

I'm reqally frazzled by this whole Forums thing -- for many reasons.  Hope everyone is okay.  Hope to see you again (if I can figure out how to get back here!)  When I typed pondfriends.borads.net I basically got sent to BFG forums or uk sites.

Thanks for the congrats, Barregar.

It will be interesting to see if BF has a half-price credit sale to:

1) raise extra $$$$ to pay their legal eagles
2) attempt to appease their customer base

 

 
From your lips to God's ears.  Not that I'd wish lawsuits on anyone, but I would love a 1/2 price credit sale.  It's been too long.  Yeah, like I need more games...LOL

Hi Noelle, I agree, some of the people were so nasty, I think I heard something about nasty things being posted on BF facebook page and now some people are banned etc...I don't know what was said because I don't have FB.  By the way, if you have any suggestions for group play, pls let us know, okay?  It will be fun to play a game together, perhaps a LF game.

Tirama, I wanted to ask you, how come we cannot PM each other here?  I have been to the other thread started by Gov, in the same boardhost, and under each person's member name, there is a word Private Message, but I don't see it here?

I know many people only posted to CCC and possibly would have preferred that BF dump the game forums instead, but that wasn't how things turned out. 

I'm glad they kept the game forums, because I do use them, and quite often.  I don't post in them, of course, since most of the games I play are older and I probably wouldn't have gotten a response, but if I had questions, someone had usually asked it at some point.  And I liked going there after I finished a game to see if the same things that annoyed me annoyed other people.  I hope they put the link to the forums back on the GM after the "maintenance" is done.  

And at this point, I'm going to quit quoting, because if you can quote more than one post, I can't figure out how, and I don't want a full page of posts by me.

My biggest problem with the GM (I refuse to call it a "game app"...I have no use for apps on my laptop) is that I can't download games from the website if I have it open.  I have to close it, start the download, and let the download open it.  Kind of a pain.

I agree with Govols2 and Lilyr that that short notice pretty much sucked.  It felt like just pouring salt in the wound, and I really felt bad for those who didn't have time to save the things that were important to them.  But then I think of a whole week or so of the sniping, and I just shudder.

Lilyr, have you tried Gemsweeper?  It was my first game like that, and still my favorite.  Not sure if BFG has it, though, since I got it from Real Arcade, back in the days when there was a Real Arcade.

Barregar, I don't know about the FB stuff.  I have an account, but rarely go on there, for so many reasons.  But it wouldn't surprise me if people got banned.  I'll have a think about a group play game.  I do enjoy the LF games, even though I can rarely get through one without a walkthrough.  I've heard Siberia is good (the original, not the chopped up one).  I have it and haven't played it yet.  I also have a link to the original version on BF if anyone wants it.

I just finished Caribbean Hideaway for the 21st time!!  I tend to go to games like that when I'm upset. Simple but very challenging.

..I must admit that the BFG  CCC closing has bothered me more than I had thought it would.
