Good question. Actually I don't understand why a post needs to be moved. Sometimes I have a strong idea about where I would llike my posts to be based on past experience. Doesn't always follow the title of the forum.

You have to page a mod and ask them to give you access to gamers.

You just ask them. Once you are in there, you will know why you need to request. There are lots and lots of posts. The threads are very long.

@Perkup I agree. I really didn't think my thread was a 'game'. I thought it more of a statement from a past experience. And, why wouldn't everyone have access to the gamers forum? We have so many forums listed on the left side of the page, why not one more?

I'm glad someone asked this question! I looked and looked and thought "Why can't I find any forum called Gamers?"

We have to be admitted by a moderator? Good heavens, what on earth goes on in that forum? (Don't think I want to know.)

As to the thread that was moved, I thought it was more about nostalgia - like do kids today know how to use a rotary phone? I didn't see what it had to do with "Gamers".

It resides between Community Chat and Among Friends.

But you won't see that until they set it up for you to see it. It is an extremely active forum.

Gamer threads normally have shorter, quick answers, either one answer or a short list of answers, and as a result they're constantly being bumped up to the top of the various forum pages in the same way that spamming/flooding does (disclaimer: I'm not throwing shade on game threads and they are not spam -- this is just a description of the way they fill up the forums when active). They're not really "discussion threads" since they move up so often and so quickly at times and push conversation threads down the page.

The old Community platform kept them separate and organized in the old "Gamers" sub-forum and the software didn't display them in the "Forum" and "View All Forum Topics" thread lists. The new platform merged them all with other threads and it was nearly impossible to locate the discussion threads. Those of us who were here in the first week saw the problem really quickly.

To clear up the mess, a separate "Gamers" sub-forum was added, all the game threads were moved there. Anyone and everyone can have access simply by asking the QVC Social Team to add you to the group. There used to be an ongoing thread here in Community Chat about this, and so most posters were aware -- I'm not sure what happened to it.

That was probably clear as mud... I hope it made sense, anyway!🙃😛

@ciao_bella

You can either post a thread in the 'Customer Care' forum, requesting they add you to the 'Gamers' forum, or you can email them at QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com and make the request.

Great explanation as usual!

I don't see why that was moved there.

Yes, just ask a mod to permit you "access" to the gamers forum. I'd ask that thread to come back over to CC or something.

I was never a part of "Gamers" when we did have access, but now that you have to seek a mod and make a special request to get in there, it makes me feel like I'm missing something! LOL

@Sweetbay magnolia, This goes back to the discussions about the reason any threads are moved, or the reason we're asked to be courteous and try to choose the sub-forum that most closely matches the thread type or subject matter -- the Community has sub-forums for a reason, and if exceptions are made for one of us they'd have to be made for everyone.🌻

For some reason they can't separate the games from community chat. So they made it private with special access to prevent gamers appearing with community chat. Something like that. Nothing nefarious. In fact gamers is fairly boring.

Thanks to all that responded to my question. To be honest with you, after reading all the responses and how the Gamers forum works, I doubt I want to post in it.

@dooBdoo Are there other sub-forums which some of us don't know about? This is news to me. Feeling kind of left in the dark.

Someone had a *just for fun* thread earlier today. I answered 3 times on it. Guess it looked like a Gamers thread to the mods. It went over to the other side.

Darn and I just thought of another answer.
