Arcade and Loyalty award!
Arcade!
A new addition to the site is the Arcade. Here you can play several old classic games like tetris, snake etc to wile away the wee hours between the happy chaos here at Gatchamania.net
There will soon be an integration with the RPG system to allow members to win gold from their scores in the arcade, hope you enjoy the new toy!
Chat!
Yes we know have a basic chatroom. To find it head over to the portal (front site) and you will find a link there. 
Loyalty award!
As you all know there was a recent culling of the member database in which many inactive accounts were removed.
As a thankyou to the members who stuck with Gatchamania during its evolution to these new forums all vet members will recieve a 500 gold gift.
For our new members who joined up to this date it would be a little unfair not to say thanks to you as well and just so you don't feel left out they will recieve a 150 gold gift.
So just to say thanks for sticking with us!

Oo? Well in order to play a game its downloaded to your machine so I am guessing your computer may have reached its cache limit or something similar... lemme know if you have any more probs though!

Woohoo! Score saving is working for me. I shall bask in glory while I can, because my arcade skills were never very good and I can't picture my scores staying there very long...

Hmm...when you finish a game it ends, waits a moment, then redirects to the scoreboard. Sure you didn't click out?
If not methinks you got dodgy broswer probs.

methinks that if this forum can't handle Netscape 7.1, then this forum has a serious problem.
hmmm. i did wait for it to DO something, but once the game ended, it jumped to the scoreboard but said there were no scores yet (blank). i will play a quick game in IE and see if it records.

yup, works fine in IE. Cep, we've got a major browser problem here. Netscape 4x is flakey as anything which i why i eventually upgraded to the new version - but if this forum is IE-compatible to the point where it ignores other Mozilla based browsers.... well, its an issue.

Its not that the forum can't handle netscape, its that netscape can't handle the site.
It is a problem I'll grant you that but there isn't much I can do about it, Netscape just needs to improve its product. I am sure that there must be patches or addons for netscape in order for it to run without any probs I just don't know where to get them.
As for the all the miscellenous browsers its just "try and see" I guess.
Not much I can do really

You cannot resist the Tetris. It calls to you, luring you away from your work. It will succeed. You will never be free.
