    Post your desktop (or other wallpapers)

    This is my current wallpaper: It does have an animated version, but I don't feel like paying $4 for the program that allows it to be animated on desktop when I'm going to spend more time looking at open programs than my desktop. :p

    What’s your favorite board game?

    Mouse Trap. Snakes and Ladders is another good one too. I'm not really a fan of any board games that take a long time to play, especially if they can reach a point where it becomes clear who the winner will be and you're just going through the motions to get the game over with.

    Is English difficult to learn?

    As a native English speaker I can't comment on how hard it is to learn from self experience, but I can imagine it gets challenging with words that are spelt the same but are pronounced differently, or pronounced the same way but have different meanings depending on context. I don't know if other...

    when a guest visits your forum

    I don't allow guests to make any posts, but they are able to read all areas of the forum to see what they're potentially signing up for.

    Boys like video games more than girls?

    A girl only has to speak on their mic in a game like CoD and they'll likely be met with people telling them to leave. It's pretty hard to not find numerous examples of female players being harassed in games if they reveal themselves, especially if the game is generally male dominated such as an...

    Violent influence?

    I got a perfect grade on it and the teacher now uses it as an example paper for future college classes. It ended up being about an 8 page paper in the end, but could've likely gone longer had there not been a page restriction.

    Violent influence?

    I don't believe so. I spent an entire semester writing a paper on using video games in prisoner reformation programs, and the research I gathered painted a clear picture that they do more good than harm.

    How old to be allowed to play video games?

    Whenever they're old enough to hold the controller and play a game.

    Boys like video games more than girls?

    Maybe if the majority of online lobbies and spaces weren't toxic as shit towards female players it wouldn't be viewed as being so heavily skewed towards male players or turn female players away from the medium.

    First internet username?

    The one I have now. I was originally planning to join my first forum under my real first name (Adam), but it was taken and so was using the first letter of my surname after it, so I decided to come up with something else. Overheard my dad talking about my nan having once suffered from a medical...

    Alerts

    Off the top of my head there are two that are the most-used: MyAlerts and DVZ Mentions. I'm not sure what the differences are between the two, but my board uses the former.

    Alerts

    MyBB's alerts are all plugin based and not part of the standard software, so how good they are depends on the plugin each respective board uses.

    Know every language or talk to animals?

    If you're already a lunatic then I guess nothing. :P

    Do You Still Wear a Mask?

    With Covid becoming more and more an accepted part of our daily lives for the rest of time, and with vaccinations having rolled out on a wide scale by now, are any of you who wore a mask at the start of Covid still wearing one now in any capacity? I wore mine any time I was in public during the...

    Discord vs Forums

    I highly doubt it, since there would be no way to attach the content to any particular user because the forum functionality of Discord is just going to be an addition to a standard server like how threads already are.

    Best/Worst game of 21/22

    I don't play any. I just thought you might know it since it's a notable series in general.

    Paying Staff

    My understanding was they sent out a service wide message about the matter, since boards that donated more would receive perks.

    Best/Worst game of 21/22

    Balan Wonderworld was a game by the creator of Nights Into Dreams, a game made by Sonic Team back in 1996, so it didn't have much fanfare behind it because the creator hadn't made anything in so long a lot of people already expected things to go poorly. As for the other game, I'm surprised if...

    Discord vs Forums

    The same concern was voiced about Facebook and such, and like those, Discord will be the same; it will attract a vastly superior number of people than forums will in comparison, but forums will continue in some fashion. Terraria and Minecraft both continue to have official forums that are wildly...

    Know every language or talk to animals?

    Know all languages. It has far more practical use in the world and I expect could be a skill to get into some very good job positions. Talking to animals is just going to get you seen as a lunatic by everyone around you.
