If you've found your way here after hearing of the TGC forum shutdown, we're glad you found us. As for the rest of you, we're happy to accept newcomers as well.
Could I install phpBB and get a forum up running faster? Sure. But I'm programmer like the rest of you so I enjoy reinventing the wheel. What does that mean exactly? This forum is a work in progress as it's written from the ground up simply because I want to for fun. But that doesn't mean it'll vanish or become defunct any time soon. After the announcement about our beloved forum a few alternatives have been suggested. We need a place where everyone can be brought back together and I hope this can be that place. My servers have already been around for a long time and have actually already been paid for beyond 2030. I don't rely on ad revenue to run my sites and therefore you will never see ads (beyond someone advertising their own games in a thread) in the forums.
To keep things as easy as possible, the login system will piggyback on the existing Purple Token user accounts. Therefore, several folks will be logged in automatically (assuming your cookies are enabled). If you're new here you can create an account by

I wanted something available as quickly as possible so while users are able to post, several features are still being developed. The buttons seen above the reply box are the supported BB codes at this time, though the buttons themselves aren't implemented yet. You will need to write them in manually for now, but that should be completed over the next week. The
CODE tags currently do not support specifying a language, that too is still being addressed with the parser. Apart from this board, the other TGC-related boards are intended as a read-only backup to the originals and as such are locked and cannot have new posts created or replied to existing ones. We believed at the time those forums were shutting down completely and several of us worked to preserve them. Those threads are being imported as I can get to them.
