Great to have a forum...

GameHouse Forums > The Lounge

It's great to have a forum here at Gamehouse... not only for chit chat stuff but also for game help. Thanks guys!

I agree! It's nice that GameHouse has finally expanded their forum! I just have some few suggestions:

1. Can the threads be possibly be sorted according to the date of the last reply? Not according to the date of the original post?

2. Avatars perhaps? It would greatly enhance chatting in the Lounge if we could give ourselves a distinct personality, other than a black shadow.

3. Could the 1000-character maximum limit for posts be removed? Or at least increased? It's a bummer to keep editing lengthy posts just to fit the character limit.

Gamehouse is awesome!
I do like the different forums...users can share their experiences.
I'm all for Avatars.
I do think limiting the characters or words in a post is a good idea.
Don't like lengthy posts.

Thanks Gamehouse for updating your site!

Hiya,

The other suggestion I have for the forum is... a tab or a link on the first page of your webiste linking to the forums. At the moment, if you are looking at a game, the link for the forum for this game is over on the right hand side with the reviews tab... which is great. However, the only other way I've found is to log in to 'My GameHouse' and use the link there. A tab at the top or a link on the front would be great... on the other side of 'Top 100 Games' and 'New Games' would work.

Thanks.

Oh.. and another thing. Sorry.

In the Games Forum, where you have the 'Game Genre Forums' categories down the bottom. I found this a bit misleading. When I clicked on the game genre, I expected to find all the forums for that particular type of game there... rather than just a forum for linking like minded people together. (Ie: Under the Hidden Object Forum, I sort of expected to find all the forums for the games in the Hidden Object genre.)

GH-this is one of the greatest ideas for game lovers. It's all here, why go anywhere else.You have my vote for the other improvements posted here.Thanks for all the fun.

I think it's great to have a forum !! There seem to be alot of good changes going on here !! What a BLAST !!!!

I went through this at Big Fish over the pass 3years or so and the forum(s) were beta n they had to keep making changes-almost constantly. Although it was really good, I got over-welmed at the flood of non-members, intentional spamming to increase rank, the number of daily threads sky-rocketed and u end up with hundreds of pages of answers for each thread.They must go in reverse order. You need the ability to type in the page of the thread u want 2 go back n read different parts of it.
See next post

Part 2 continued: Conflicts started, n the biggest n best change was the ability to "email " each other within the site, so you could say anything you wanted or that isn't allowed on the public site(like u could not reference other game sites) was a biggie, but u could send that person a PM(personal message)!! That was fun! And they received it instantly, or we used acronyms. So u might get away with saying GH if u wanted to talk about a game at Gamehouse or something. See conclusion on next post

Posted on Fri Nov 06 04:52:20 PST 2009

Actually, there were so many acronyms for things that there were several threads of acronyms and what they mean.Had to have someone from the site monitor all posts,24/7 and be able to LOCK the threads or delete them from viewing. The had to seriously upgrade their server to accommodate other countries.
The final result of tons of hard work, is to have a Neat forum, that is easy to navigate with unlimited (almost) instant access to anywhere in the forum or site, with 24/7 monitoring, a 60 sec. wait between ur posts(to avoid spammers). I wish Gamehouse the best but can not stick around too long 2 watch it all over again, as the forum becomes more addictive than the games.
Continued again.-I typed it , I am posting it

OK- Final post:
Patience is key and in order to be successful, all suggestions(from GH Members) must be taken and reviewed. Good Luck to all members here(i canceled my membership when the first game I bought would not play)and went back to BF, although I basically stay out of the forums and PLAY GAMES. I just cannot make Campfire Legends play. I posted on the game forum for help from the public...because it just bugs me that I can't figure it out.

PS the word/ character limitation should be adjusted!

This forum is shaping out a bit now other people are using it. A couple more suggestions...

1. A 'reply' button at the bottom of the page please, so you don't have to scroll all the way back up the top. We don't always want to quote someone.

2. A bigger presence from administration/moderators in the forums. I may be the only one thinking that here, but when I see admin people involved in the forums, I get the impression that the people in charge are actually interested in what thier users and saying. Or are they already here? Am I just not reading the right posts?

Thank you for FINALLY acting on one of our suggestions

even if it took 5 months after the request was made!

Now how about working on the other improvements?

Posted on Sat Mar 20 01:01:59 PDT 2010

I agree with the suggestions of other members here to improve and make the forum a great place to visit. High on my list are personalized avatars and most of all a PM system.

To the poster who asked about greater presence by the mods here, I offer the thought that people here get along so much better than in other sites that mod participation in unnecessary. We have been doing a good job of policing ourselves.

Hey there, Poppa! Just note that the request for more moderation was made on Nov. 26, 2009. Now that that threads are rising via "latest post," we've gotta make sure and look at the dates of the posts above. But I too agree that the mods are doing a GREAT job with intervention, information, and downright friendliness. Couldn't ask for better mods.
