It's been a long time coming, but some updates are finally here! I’ve migrated servers (not that this really affects anything). But it’s now back in a state that I’m able to fairly easily push out updates for the site. Voting page now lets you know if there is metadata being sent back to...

The Discord bot has been down for a little while, but as of last night, it is back up and running!  It should automatically grant you the "Unverified" role if you haven't linked your account with the forums yet.  In order to link your account, all you need to do is go to the settings page...

Is anyone carving pumpkins this year? If you are, post your final designs here!

Hey All! I know, I ended up doing this a few weeks back (although it was already way later than it should have been done), one thing we noticed recently was that with the import it doesn't look like passwords came over correctly, so if you are having issues logging in, just do a reset password...

This morning I was looking through my email, and I noticed an email from Amazon Web services about a service I use of their's which will have small changes soon. Very technical, but still, when I read it, I thought "this is really good customer service", they are proactively telling me what is...

Lots of the pet sites that we have today stem from Neopets, either people started their "pet site career" there, or on a site inspired by what Neopets has done. Recently, I found two new projects that are being built (with Patreon supporters) which I find really interesting.  They are...

There are so many Pet Sites and Pet Sims out there! So many to choose from, which ones are yours favourites?

We are kicking off the new year with a highly targeted ad campaign to revive TGL by acquiring new customers and sellers within the gaming community. This campaign is vital to ensure browser game owners and freelancers alike have access to an active community within a very niche category.  We...

I know that this is a little less relevant to game sites, because of most of us source freelancers from all around the world, but how do you think the pandemic will change the workforce as a whole? I've been working remotely since March 13th with my meetup also going remote around mid-May.  I...

Given that lots of the world is in lock down of some variety due to COVID-19, I was able to get my family to play board games with me - so I figured I would ask if anyone else has picked it up as a hobby while in self-isolation? If yes, what games are you playing?

Writing this, I know that there will be a bunch of alternatives out there, and they are all probably good as well, but there are definite things that you need to care about, so if they don’t do it then at least ask the question “why”. This guide is not meant for someone who is using managed...

I've always wanted to get into the Final Fantasy games, and have had friends rave about how amazing FF7 is, and I just saw the trailer for the remake - it looks really good! https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/final-fantasy-vii-remake-preview-combat What do you think?

Recently I caught a cold - yay everyone around me having colds.  Today I ended up working from home so that I was able to sleep in longer (an extra 2.5 hours) and then drink hot lemons all day.  All while still working on stuff for work (yay - no sick day used). What do you normally do to help...

Programming is a life long journey of growing and learning more.  There are so many different ways to get started with programming, were there any helpful things out there that you used to help you get started? Or that you continue to use as you program and grow?

One thing that I am always curious about, is the "why" people decided to start their own game/sim site.  What was the appeal to you? Was it the thought of creating something brand new? Was it to push yourself to learn more? Was it to get rich? What is it that made you really think "hey, I have...

Over the last year or so, I've begun watching a fair bit more YouTube, because the amount of content on video games that I will never play has skyrocketed :P One of the series that I found really interesting was Boundary Break. Basically they hack the games so that they are able to move the...

This is literally something I feel like I've been waiting *forever* for.  My brother had a Playstation, but I never really used it, and I never had the original Kingdom Hearts game.  Over the Christmas break, I saw that these were coming out, and now they are finally here :)

I just stumbled across the following website today, it's really cool to see all of the projects that are coming out of VueJS (all of the extensions). https://vuewatch.com/# Have you had any experience with any of these packages? Are they good?

I've always been a fan of Star Trek, back from my first days of watching Star Trek: The Next Generation (then I went back to watch The Original Series).  I was excited to see at the end of last year that a new series, Picard, was starting up. So far I'm loving it - so much of the Star Trek that...

Every game site has those features that you as a developer absolutely hate implementing.  Even just thinking about working on it sometimes drains the life out of you.  What is that feature for you and why?
