@CherryHugs, you have to ask a Mod to sign you up for the Gamers forum. It won’t be visible to you, until you are a member. I'm not a member and don’t know why it's that way, since the last upgrade, but I read of it here, when they added it.

@CherryHugs

@agnesann is right, just post in the Customer Care forum, asking to be added to the Gamers Forum.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

When they make it accessible to you, you will see it between Community Chat and Among Friends.

If it wasn't hidden and was accessible to all, because of the very nature of the games on there, the regular threads and forums that you now see would be flooded with games.

Everyone on those threads in the Gamers forum play one right after the other, usually pretty fast and furious. It would be too much on our regular board.

If you decide to join so it is accessible to you, you will understand why it would not be good to converge that forum with our regular forums. You will also see that each thread is over 10 pages long, unless the game just got started.

There should be a way to let people know there is that option. Maybe make the Gamers heading visible and indicate that a mod needs to let you in.

What kind of games do they play in Gamers?

World Traveler · ‎02-02-2015

Here are some of the games going on:

Compound Words A-Z

First Names A-Z

Double Letter Words

Words that have "ea" in them

Last thing you ate or drank

TV Shows A-Z

So, these threads usually only have one-word answers and it keeps moving. You don't get into discussions; that is why they could flood the regular forum/community. They would take over the boards.

For example, with the thread now going called First Names A-Z, the first person starting the thread could put Angela, nothing else. The second person posting on that thread could put Betty, nothing else. The third person posting could put Carol, nothing else. When they get to Z, then they could start all over again and again and again. Depends upon what the original poster said how to play that particular game.

Does that help you understand why the threads are so long? They just keep going with perhaps one-word answers; no discussions. It's very fast.

You could have maybe ten gamer threads going and your one thread about a TSV could get lost between all those. ha!

Hope this helps.
