Lounge or Morgue

GameHouse Forums > The Lounge

Is this where we come to see all our old games die? This is the second time that I have seen R/A forums die and be revamped. I wonder what all the old R/A posters think? Are you happy with the merge? How long do you think this one will last? Are you going to give this sight a chance? I Know Big Fish is having a surge of new posters and this sight seems to be trying to clone their way of doing things. I doubt if they can compete, but hey if it lowers the prices and gives us a better variety I am all for it. If I were a seer I would predict that the R/A logo won't last long. Anyway cheers to a brand new world.

Hi Imdamama
While we're all entitled to our own opinions I'd like to think that we're working towards a more positive experiences for all of our users. The decision to combine the sites was not one that was taken lightly. And yes, we were of course sad to see the old forums go. There was a great community there that was completely due to the work that the members put into making it such. I, and we, are incredibly hopeful that we can create just as rich an environment here.
I know it's new but we are working very hard to make it a great experience! I truly do hope you give it a chance here! We would love to have you!

Jason I don't think its creepy, I have watched and was a a huge part of the forums years ago. In fact I would think you would have agreed after all the work I have seen you and others pour into them just to see them disappear and start over. You were a great help on the original forums. then did the same when they went to the lithium board. Now a few year later here you go again.

Kristy, I truly hope this this does work out and I hope that the old R/A poster find the strength to start over again. I know the collapse of the original R/A forum is what gave me the opportunity to experience BF. I didn't really put an effort into starting anew with the lithium boards but did follow them once in awhile to see how old acquaintances where doing or find some tech help. i appreciate the welcome and your quick response. I am assuming you are a moderator here and I wish you the best of luck. Lisa

Hey Lisa,

Thanks for looking out for me. I do understand that people do not like these constant changes, but my curiosity is what gets me excited for new changes. Technologically I see something new every day, and I'm happy to work with it , share my experiences with other people , and help them out. I've got a lot of guts ,courage and determination to help people out, even if they do not pay me! It is nothing really.

Hi, everyone... yes, the forums at RA were a blast... from the "old" old forum, to when it switched to Lithium... with real moderators. Finally! (tho Nightcrawler did a heck of a good job) So sure, we feel sad, and said our good-byes, but now it's time to say hellos. Change can be good or bad... time will tell. And a forum can only be as good as people who contribute to it, and bother to make it interesting. So sure! This one deserves a chance... and it's all up to us. But I sure do miss the ability to be able to post images. Worth what the old saying says they are!

Hi mooma, We'll see. I hope so. Did you used to be mamamoo? Or was that someone else?

Posted on Thu Nov 19 07:18:58 PST 2009

Yes, I was mamamoo on the "old" RA forum, and had to switch to mamoo on the Lithium forum. I had to make a separate account here to be able to post, so hence the name change. Mamoo was taken... by me! CS couldn't get a handle on my problem and I got tired of waiting.

Hi. the gamehouse forums will be what ever we make of them. They are here for support but aren't some of us looking for someone to talk with while playing games. I would love to see pictures, but a lot of forums are missing them. Maybe they could put on the little ones. there are some really cute ones.

The avatar images? That would be a start. Who likes being a silhouette.

Hi Guys,
I know it's different. I didn't have a lot to do with the R/A forums before the merge. However, as Whisperer has already said, these forums will be whatever we make of them. It's purely the input from different people which brings something like this alive. I personally think it's a good thing. I've been a member of GH for a while now and have ended up going to other sites for help with games. Now, maybe I won't have to.
