1. The moderators-in-training listed above have received their proper training and have been instated as TBG Moderators.

2. Operation: Octoclean announced.

3. Have you been having non-responsive pages on this website lately? That would be due to our 99% uptime, a result of free hosting. Paid hosting is almost $5 per month, and therefore we have added adf.ly to all outgoing links. It may be annoying but it's for the overall good of the website, and eventually, we might have a near 100% uptime! If you would like to make a personal donation, feel free to visit out support page :)

Reminders:

Before making a topic, search for keywords of your game to ensure that yours is not a duplicate. While this is never 100% accurate, it is a safe method of checking for duplicate topics.

Please report any duplicate topics that you see. In this way, we can process those topics faster and often better.

TBG Wiki Administrator and TBG Wiki Bureaucrat are now held offices.

TBG Wiki administration has access to the Staff / Restricted category, but is still bound by a 60-second post/e-mail flood interval.

At 10:00 AM tomorrow afternoon (GMT+10), a rebuild of the search index will take place. The rebuild will start with post #3, and two hundred and seventy (270) posts will be processed per cycle. We have no estimate for the time this will take, but affirm it will take under seven minutes.

The board will be put in maintenance mode during processing.

Reminder: if you live in the United States (or use a corresponding time-zone on here), check "Daylight Savings Time is in effect" in localisation options, under Profile > Essentials.

Welcome back! The search rebuild was successful.

#12
17 March 2013

The search rebuild was so immensely successful, in fact, that they should be completed on a scheduled basis - preferably weekly. If weekly, the rebuilds will take place on Thursdays at 10:00 AM, due to timing needs.

Is weekly too often, too scarce, or just right? Give us feedback on our Questions and Suggestions topic.

Rules XXXIX and XL added. Read them here.

18 March 2013

Some lexical ambiguity may arise from the use of words "reset" and "restart". They have different definitions, and therefore impact scores differently; read the Wiki definition for both.

Rules XLI, XLII, XLIII, and XLIV added.

Hello, we have had some confusion over the CAPTCHA system now implemented. I would like to clear things up, and show why we have it. Here is what would happen without it. As soon as we took it off, we literally were spammed with spam account creation for 10 minutes straight. (Imagine what could happen if no admins had been on at that moment). I promise that we did not implement the CAPTCHA system to annoy our users. I know, I hate CAPTCHAs too, but we have no choice if we don't want these forums to burn to the ground. I hope you understand this decision, and respect it.

The slider CAPTCHA has been removed from login pages. It does, however, remain present on registration pages.

You may have recently noticed that mythbusteranimator, a TBG Team member, is banned. This is due to an outstanding warning on his part, not yet applied from months ago due to his pending status. He will be back in office this Tuesday, 25 March.

A rebuild of the search index will begin today at 2:00 PM. Estimated downtime is nine minutes.

This search index rebuild was unsuccessful. The process was aborted due to unresponsive machinery and will be continued at a later date. Post 26375 was the last to be processed.

All Multi-File Games in the TBG forum were moved to their proper places. Please do not knowingly post games in incorrect forums. Thank you.

Yesterday's rebuild has been finalised; the search index is now up-to-date.

Occasionally, short spam breakouts may occur due to mysterious - and unauthorised - shutoffs of the CAPTCHA system. As far as is known, this is out of our control, causing partial or whole access for spam registration.
