| Just curious of the general opinion on FG. I see that quite a few people hate/dislike it, while others like/love it. Also state why do you think as such. Personally, I like it because it's a great way to waste my time. I do that on CD as well, but on FG I can do that much more. Edit: I must say I also like the lazy posts because, as introverted as I am, it's the best way to communicate while not opening myself to people. |

| I used to like it but then it got more and more boring and now I am neutral towards it. |

| Not a lot of variation as to who posts there regularly. Like, do they get bored after a certain number of days/weeks/months/years of basically posting the same shit? |
 |
| i personally like it. I visit FG when I sometimes do get bored staying on mal, also to gain more profile views(lel) |

| I like it because it's very easy to interact with others there, Some games require you to reply/talk to other people, I've interacted with so many people since the beginning of The Hunger Games But on the other side, I don't LOVE it because similar to short Youtube videos, It's easy to just get lost in the motions without actually having fun, Even though when I'm really bored I comment on them, I don't like "Count to X number" threads or "Say a random word" type of threads, They just feel like mindlessly scrolling through stuff that you don't care about but not stopping cuz of habit or just not thinking of better stuff to do, I really dislike that feeling. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| I used to be active on that but, now I don't. The same 20-30 users post the same shit every day. I think it is a waste of Time |
| I’m neutral. It deserves its own live notification system though for how fast paced it is. That would make it even faster too. I hardly take part as it looks like a real time sink and easy to get caught up being social and making friends. |
| It was fun for a while but I don't find it fun anymore. |

| Used to be very active there since it's an easy way to meet people and a fun way to kill time if you're a teenager. I've grown up though and therefore kinda lost interest in it despite occasionally popping in. One thing I will say though is that there's always been a surprising amount of drama, which is something that became incredibly apparent to me at the beginning of my stint as a mod. Sure, boards like CE (rest in spaget) and CD have heated arguments but FG inspires a lot of high school style pettiness for some reason. Cliques form, they form secret Discord servers, they clash with each other and all sorts of nastiness ensues. |

Yeah, I also got to meet and talk to a lot of people I wouldn't have met otherwise through the Hunger Games (so that one's probably the best Forum game for me hands down).

| On surface, it's an incredibly shallow and pointless way to waste time and pretend to socialize when you're a basement dwelling introvert Below that surface, it's the worst drama cesspool of MAL filled with insecure tarts who need the ego boost and creepy old men trying to talk to little girls. |

It kinda feels like watching paint dry, Even if you enjoy it a bit, The fact that people are doing hobbies and making friends and stuff and I'm here doing one of the most famous things someone does when bored (Simply counting) just kinda bums be out when I do it. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| i like it, but there isn't much variety. it's usually just the same thread, but with different wordings, or if it's anime, put manga. |

Dumb cliques shitting on each other, manipulative people, discord drama. Also if you wanna make a nice social experiment, put "female/2005" there and watch the 2x yo creeps flock to you. I think two different regulars tried to hit on me the first day I changed my gender here lol. I know it's worse when you're a minor. |

xx-ludis said: Psajdak said: I found out about that just a few days ago actually because I went on FG with the WayBackMachineI wonder how many people here know that Forum Games were once called Spam... Anyway, I visit that part of MAL once in a few months, or so, but rarely post in it. I was quite active when it was Spam, though. Guess that's a part of why I dislike Forum Games (that it feels spammy). I don't really care either way, but it feels pointless and it takes place on the lastest threads in activity that appear on the main page of Forums... |

| It used to be fun but now it's the same people posting same things over and over again. I still like to post in a couple of threads. |
 |
| Forum games are cool, it gets boring sometimes. But I visit and post there once in a while. Surprising it not very toxic and very few people whines there. I like it |
  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|
| It's a cheap way to waste your time. Also some games are really dumb and some games like harshly judge have toxic users who regularly post there. Also there was that drama spawned by a chat thread and I am sure there were probably more in the past. |

| its boring and ill never post there ever |
| It used to be fun. But now I try to avoid it at all costs. |
| The FG board: neutral The FG people: dislike Very few regulars there are that nice, I've figured out over the years. All of the mass bullying happens over there and that's where quite a lot of people have been driven to suicide before. Some threads are interesting, some are just attention hoarders. Pretty much the loud mouths of FG are attention hoarders, making their own... well... it wouldn't be farfetched to call it a cult. Circlejerking groups. Not to mention that nowadays it's just filled with horny people sexting each other. It wouldn't be farfetched to say that most people there are just attention seekers. |

| It seems completely pointless and I don't understand why anyone would post in the braindead threads there. |

| Ehh, it exists, I post there when I get really really bored. Also I think a board filled with the most sensitive users mixed in with some of the most toxic users is a recipe for disaster. |
 |
| I feel like it's kinda pointless tbh. There's little to no interaction between the "players" in the games for the most part. |
 |
| Eh, it's not incredibly entertaining or anything but it's good enough to pass the time. |
  |
| I post there occasionally, whenever to reply to someone other than the same 5 users. |
on 
| It's fun to post there every once in awhile, but I rarely visit it. |
| I like it because it’s a nice way to kill time but it does get boring since it’s always the same people on there with the same favorite and etc. |
