RETURNING TBGERS - Read this!
If you used the TBGs prior to September 5th, 2023, you've probably noticed that the site looks different.
This is because on that date, we updated our forums from FluxBB to Simple Machines Forums, in an effort to fix bugs and improve stability and longevity of the site.
Because of this upgrade, all the passwords had to be reset as part of the conversion. There was no way around this (for security and practical reasons). You will need to reset your password.
To help users who can't log into the forums as a result, we've set up this archive of the old forums.
How to regain access to your TBGForums account
Firstly, try requesting a password reset for your username. By default, two accounts in SMF can't use the same e-mail, so try typing in your username if your e-mail doesn't work. Wait around 2 to 3 minutes for the e-mail to arrive (the webserver can sometimes be a little slow).
If that doesn't work, or you've lost access to the e-mail you original used, follow these instructions.
- Log into this archive forum with the password you last used on the TBGForums.
- Change your e-mail on this forum to the e-mail you would like to use on the new version of the site.
- Reply to this topic stating that you need help recovering your account.
A moderator will check on you and update your e-mail in SMF. From there, you will be able to request a password reset and regain access to your old account.

Hey look, buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems.

Re: RETURNING TBGERS - Read this!

Yeah, this one is going to stay unlocked so the mods can provide support to anyone who's lost their e-mail but still has their TBGs password.
With that being said, please don't post here unless you lost your e-mail and are trying to get back into the TBGs after the upgrade. The mods need to keep an eye on this topic in case anyone is having issues.

Re: RETURNING TBGERS - Read this!
The new forums look bloated.
I am a user on Scratch. I found the TBG from a link on the Scratch Wiki and was interesting. So I decided to join.
