Post count is back!
At a risk of sounding like gmnews, Chronic has announced that member post counts will once again be implemented at the GMC (from effect immediately). Since the current IPB powered GMC came into existence in 2003 there have never been public post counts. The previous eZboard forum did have post counts but a decision was […] More

I bought GameMaker School
Broadcasting to the world a domain name you plan to register isn’t the brightest idea is it? Not so when I am king of domains starting “GameMaker…” (GameMakerBlog.com, GameMaker.tv, GameMakerStream.com, GameMakerTV.com, GameMaker.es, GameMakerNews.com, GameMaker8.com). GameMakerSchool.com has been added to my list. Some of you will probably think this was a harsh move on my half […] More

Not much has been happening recently, quite a disappointment really. Guess we are just waiting for YoYo to cause another controversy to kick things off. Oh, and GameMakerTech issue 11 should be […] More

YoYoGames’ Forum o’doom
The one half-decent thing that the YoYoGames forums had going for them was the fact that members were not allowed signatures. However, this rule has changed so now we look forward to tacky animated banners and huge images on an already slow site, oh joy. Quite why YoYoGames needed their own forum I don’t know. […] More

Why you shouldn’t add a forum
Personally I think adding a forum to your website is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. A blog post by Grego advising people on how to create a half decent forum, if they insist on having one, reiterated many of the points I had spinning around in my head. There is no point […] More

Clone forums suck
A couple of days ago I came across an excellent article by GMC member and fellow British blogger and moaner Grego on the subject of clone forums. These “Wannabe Forums” as Grego calls them really drive me insane too. Going back a few years to when I was using gamemaker the first time these forums […] More
