Text Based Games Forums

The Text Based Games Forums, or the TBGs, is the successor to the Scratch Text Based Games Forums. The website was created on 17 September, 2012, and currently houses over 100 users and has accumulated exactly 64000 posts. The site is located at tbgs.tk.

Origin

The Text Based Games Forums originated from the Scratch Text Based Games Forums when the Scratch TBGs were slated for closure. After much drama and fighting from some of the community, three forums offered to host the new Text Based Games Forums on their own separate sites. The three forums were:

Skyline's Forums, administrated by jji7skyline

The Luxturna Forums, administrated by 360-International

Text Based Games Forums 2.0, administrated by tailskirbyyoshifan

Staff

The Text Based Games Forums has accommodated seven (7) administrative members to date.

• jji7skyline, TBG Team / Owner
• mythbusteranimator, TBG Team

• sportsdude, TBG Moderator

In addition, there are two (2) additional TBG Staff members that are considered TBG Staff, but do not have administrative privileges.

Diversity

The TBG Team and TBG Moderators strive to house a diverse group of users. While our user list trends to youth between the ages of nine (9) and fifteen (15), we have no restrictions, nor impose any bias or favouritism, based on age, race, ethnicity, religion, cultural background, or other personal attributes.
