Forums are back!

I dont see a point in dragging up old threads, but I've found that the "Check All" option in the search feature doesnt work.

Seems fine to me, what browser are you using?

It is just me or is the space where our avatar and that goes a bit wider. I don't remember it being as wide as this. It doesnt bother me at all, I was just wondering.
I think I'm going crazy... the lack of forums did it I think...

Yeah, that'll be it

It's nice to see the forums back. I was starting to get some serious withdrawal symptoms. I know I don't actually post much, but I do check the forums most days. It's always refreshing to know that there are people with a weirder sense of humour than me.

I'm glad to see the forums are back.  I know you always joke about money, but maybe it's time to set up a paypal donation thread on this board.  There are people here who could, (and should), help keep AGS alive. 

For Example: Just Adventure ran this long article on AGDI's "NEW" developments.  They, pretty much, owe their entire fame to AGS.  There are others who feel they owe AGS in the same way.  No one would have to pay for the software, but after switching to a more expensive site,  while keeping the old site up so people can still get their game on until YOU fix it.  Well, it's starting to fell like one Worker Bee making honey for 100,000 Queen Bees.

On the forum status thread someone was saying that making parts of AGS register-only would turn users off, and a voluntary donation system wouldn't result anything, but I think that it would. There are several members who would donate, if it was possible, without any reward (excluding the official AGS box signed by CJ), just to keep AGS alive, so we'd have this great site and all these great games in the future aswell.

But it's up to CJ, what he want's to do about the future of AGS and the community.

I have been asked several times whether I'll add a donations page -- and I do appreciate the thought. One day, if the financial aspects of running the site become a burden, I might well do.

But, as I've said before, the total cost of running this place only comes to about $20/month, and I have a full-time job so it's not a big problem.

To answer someone's suggestion about banner ads ... if things ever get to that point, don't worry, I'll add a donations box rather than curse this place with banner ads and popups.
