The Arcade is open

Every forum from the early 2000s worth its salt had an arcade: a page of small games, a high score table, and one member who would not let go of the top spot.

You got this one pushed through very quickly! I know there is a guy on my other forum I run who used to love the arcade games we had at one time. Maybe I’ll let him know it’s available on the FS sites so he can play once again and then he can tell all his friends.

I remember on ZetaBoards, the code Thunder Arcade was one of the most popular on the service, so it’s good to see it added as an official feature of the software. I’m sure many will put it to good use.

Someone else reported it as a bug with a redirection issue. Could that be the same problem you’re having?

Unsure, the domain remains mine with the path /arcade unless the redirect is happening behind the scenes or something.

I played my first game moments ago on Spark Promotion! It was the mole game and is pretty fun. I’ll try them all at some point just to make sure they work. Give me a few months 🤭
