| i play forum games because im bored and its a fun way to interact with people without directly conversing with em plus you get to discover new things from some of the replies like interesting facts, new songs, anime recs etc i did met a lot of quirky peeps there |
| I like it because it's fun talking to other people with similar interests, and some games are just fun to play like change "one letter to create a new word" . |
| The best way to learn about its greatness is indulging in it yourself. (~^.^)~ |
 |
| To pass time, I guess? I think it's quite fun to interact with people there :> |
| Yeah, I get what you mean, tho they're a pretty harmless time-burner for the most part. I kinda want forum games to consist of something different like ARG's in which you have to explore the user's profile to find clues and the like. Then forum posts that are trying to decipher the clues can exist w/o being personal/confrontational, unlike other forums that can become a little toxic b/c of personal tastes differing. ofc that was just a random idea, but it can spice things up y'know? |
 |
| Because why not. Games are meant to be played isn't it? |
 |
| Cause I'm bored Probably play it yourself too to get more of an understanding? |
 set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️ |
| Why not? I used to go to "Forum games"-like section on other forums because I want to lurk on that said forum more but there were no more discussions that I could engage on so I usually ended up going on those sections. |
 |
| I'm not familiar with MAL forum games but I've played the Rate the song above you game recently and it's quite good if you want to discover music you wouldn't usually listen to. |
| "Le monde n'est qu'un égout sans fond où les phoques les plus informes rampent et se tordent sur des montagnes de fange" (Alfred de Musset, On ne badine pas avec l'amour, 1834) |
| It is a fun way of relaxation and after a while, everyone knows each other so it gets interactive. |
   |
| most people are just playing the MAL dating game and afraid to say it |
 |
Well, why not ?  That's not more useless than speaking on this kind of topics uhuhu |
| Some club give you rewards in those games also, like the cookies in the Candy Kingdom |
Turtles_Hunter said: FG posts don't count on your total posts.MrKami said: Probably the main reason. I feel like the number of post shouldn't be displayed, because a lot of people use them as an authority argument. Their word is worth it because they watched a lot of anime and have a lot to say about them. Or it's just a self gratification factor. Forum that display that kind of information often end being a race to comments. And forum gameOther than to accumulate friends and comments on your own MAL profile is there any other reason why you would play such games. I'm sure there are a few of them that are atually good, and that some people just do them because they enjoy them, but at the rate new forum game post appear, I doubt it's most of them. |
| people play forum games coz i am there |
  |
| I rather do this than work on my projects and stuff |
 |
| It's a nice time killer, and it's the place where I can post my gif or pic of the day lol |
| it's entertaining seeing what people think of you + it's an easy way to pass the time. a better question is why so many people waste their time on the mal introductions with the same "hi welcome to mal!" message pasted out over and over again. |

| I wonder the same they are not funny or fun and no one read the messages I doubt anyone will read something besides of the last post. |

| I have no life and I’m bored ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
  |
| Because it's the most entertaining board on MAL. AD has too many uptight elitists with sticks stuck up their ass, CD doesn't have entertaining threads most of the time, so therefore FG is the best. |

| Their dad didn't hit them enough when they were kids so now they seek validation by getting random people on the internet to quote their comments. Or at least that's why I make forum game comments. |
 |
| It's one those instant entertaining stuff here when you're bored, especially, if you don't want to get deep in the main forums/threads. Besides, it's refreshing to meet different kinds of users. |
| Because they are secret extroverts hampered severely by their social skills irl and so they give vent to their desires on FG. |
| To pass time mostly. You'd be surprised at how much time the regulars there spend each day, it's mostly the same people too. |
| >Joined 2017 >20+ forum post Either an alt or an FGfag. I'd lean more on the latter bois, what about you? Shall we uncover OP's identity now? |
| Most Discord communities tend to form there. I think it's the HS equivalent of trying to be popular or find a clique. |
 |
| i do it because i'm bored or i'm killing time while replying to comments |

| It's a fun, brainless time-waster. Sometimes you'll make friends out of it. The MAL discourse rarely infects the forum games too, which provides some much needed relief. |
   |
| forum games are a legacy of forums. to have a forum without forum games is to admit the forum is not more than 3 years old. that itself is not a problem but it just says that they are meant for a different, newer audience. |
 |
| why do people play games in general? i mean they are useless right? |
