This is a platform for scheduling game sessions with random people online, where you pick a game, a date and people show interest on joining it.

Its specially useful for older games and modded games, where their communities are usually locked inside discord, the idea is to get the opportunity to play them out of there.

Having said that this works for pretty much any game where you can make a lobby.

The site is pretty much in its infancy, the community is small but hopefully that changes in the future.

I've been using it since it was first announced on a YouTube video (which BTW I really love that VGUI design it has) and I really like the idea behind it, but unfortunately seems like it has been declining in users on these last months, the developer haven't been added something new on it since March and most people use it for trolling, creating vague and stupid sessions and toxicity as always (and even more considering the site is anonymous/"accountless" and some of them brings their 4chan culture to this site). I remember creating two events on there for one of my favorite Half-Life mods (SC 3.0) and I was able to play with at least four people and it was fun but the comments seem to be posted by idiots asking me questions like "Why playing this instead of this" or similar that I ended up hiding the comment section with uBlock and ignoring all of them. If you don't want to play, then just go away and find another session, simple as that.

I've heard of it but haven't used it. Sucks that there were members telling others to play different games, like bruh find another group who wants to play whatever games you want lol.

Personal update and bump: I ended up losing hope on this website. It ended up becoming another 4chan-like website, the activity on the sessions and on their forums decreased since a few months and for some reason they deleted most of my posts and a guide I posted there. It makes me sad because I maintain a "space" (I don't consider it a community) where I mainly host gameservers in old and niche GoldSrc mods and similar games like TetriNET and sometimes I used this website for at least revive those games but with a community like this I'd rather remain a nobody.
