After speaking to a few people here and recently buying GTA for Hamza @SyntaxMonstr, I think it's time to share and give a go to what I'd like to be called FG's Feel Good Fund after @crispymorgan great shout for a name (FGFGF. Snappy right? ). Objective is simple - To help out as many FGers as we can to make them 'Feel Good'. Surprises either go to people in need or someone we want to say thankyou or so we say 'Feel Good'. This is what we are the BEST at. This is why FG continues because its more than just a forum. Everyone member here knows that and we should continue doing this as much as we can. The part where its over t…

Folks, please use this thread to report any bugs or anything you find. They seem to be rather intermittent in that they affect some people and not others so if you guys report them we can look for trends and sort them out. Cheers

Fist off welcome to our dysfunctional family. I don't think you will find a bigger bunch of assholes and degenerats anywhere else on the interwebs. That said we have all grown to be much than friends. Many of us speak on a daily basis. I,for one, have met some of my best friends on this forum. We want you to all feel at home here too. If you havemt already please make a introduction post. Just give us a little history on yourself. Where you're from and what interest you. What games you like to play. Also include your gamer tag and what console you're on. We have members spread out all over so it should be easy to find people to game with on all s…

We're alive....and free hopefully!! The last few months has been hopefully more uplifting for you all as we enter many places nearing the end of some/most social distancing rules and also with the fantastic run the English side were on throughout the whole of Euro 2020 (in 2021, still can't get over the name not changing!). We're also entering holiday season for many of us across the world too and I think it'll be good to get some fresh air and experience some of the places we haven't been able to the past 18 months. That being said, there's a few things upcoming at FG to keep an eye out for as we go under some significant changes I've wanted for m…

Going to resurrect this. Hopefully we can raise our profile a little more with regular Twitch streaming. There's plenty of us, and plenty of games between us to have an entertaining Twitch channel. I'm off work all next week so I'll be streaming some PC games during the day. DayZ goes live tomorrow so I'll be doing that, plus Star Citizen and whatever else takes my fancy. Maybe Fallout 76 for the lols. If anyone has any games they they would like to see, or would like to stream, let us know here. We can PM the log in details. If we have enough people we can make a rota/schedule. Any other thoughts or suggestions…

Just a quick note. I know we're all savvy, but just in case. We get bots submitting posts with links. Today there's been a few. We either remove the posts or the links as soon as we see them but just to say be careful of clicking links in any posts. If you see anything suspicious, please report. Just don't click on anything 🤗 Thanks @J4MES OX4D and @Plumbers Crack who do this regularly, it's a great help 🍻

It takes a lot of effort and upkeep to ensure everything is ticking over and I'd like to think we've all done our best of this covid period together at FG. As we come out the other end I'd like to think/hope we can continue the good deeds we've done with keeping us all active and having opportunities to get together to have laughs and help each other. I'd like to welcome Chad @Riff Machine as a Moderator to FG. He's also an admin on the FG Discord as he's stepped up to help out where possible around FG after being a part of the furniture for quite a while now - and it's perfect timing to as he's also just past his 1 whole year of sobriety, so I think doubly-t…

Well that got your attention then didn't it? TL;DR we want £2 a month. This, in the current climate, is less than the price of a pint, or a half of loo roll. As most of you will know we had a bit of a thing today, nothing we couldn't handle but the end result is that we need to chip in monthly to prevent it happening again. Now in the past I've kept this shit as anonymous as possible because not everyone can afford to chip in to some of our fundraisers but come on, £2 a month. Even @crispymorgan can't say no to that. So, this is a plea, chip in £2 a month please. I'll personally be going balls deep and more than doub…

In 2018, I set up the FG Awards as a way to recognise a few people within the FG family to say thank you for what they have done to help others. I hope that all will enjoy the awards and maybe start to hope one day they'll get one themselves. I feel proud we can do such things in a year which i know most would want to forget. I promised to have a good send off to 2020 and that's what we're gonna do below! Young FGer of the Year We've played years with him but its only over the last 6-12 months where we've able to really get him part of the group where he has shined through many raid completions on Destiny 2.

Well life hasn't been quite the same this year has it now? It's been a struggle, even for Mr Annoying Positive guy over here. Keeping going mentally is challenging enough in life as it is, let alone more lockdown news across the world. However, I haven't stopped, maybe procrastinated a little too much, but I wanted to report we are getting somewhere. Needless to say I can't do it without you all visiting and popping in, not forgetting our home for which i'm extremely grateful. This could be a long-ish one but it will be worth it so please read all of it! I'll do my best to keep it brief (yeah, okay Lee) and maybe give you some visuals a long the way to make it…

Well, what a year this has been huh? I think we can all agree, to put it bluntly, that this year can go fuck itself. That said, one thing that's been a constant throughout this fuckup of a year is this place, the people that make it, and the website that Leigh won't shut up about. It's not gone unnoticed by most of us that Leigh has put some significant work in to this place over the last few months and kept the ball rolling as much as possible, whilst still being the responsible adult we all love and sometimes need. So to that end, and with FG being FG, we clubbed in together to do something we all know Leigh would appreciate the hell out of. So …

Hi All, just a heads up to mention that the site has been updated significantly overnight and furthermore this morning so you will see some things a little out of place until I can fix it all correctly. This update significantly makes changes across the entire site, whilst we have had the long outstanding security fixed (massive thanks to @Shucker ) and also Commerce has been purchased and installed. Anything you notice looks slightly, feel free to mention it here - obviously i'll be already aware of certain things such as colours, text and alignment of menus/logos already. Busy day ahead - GGFG!

Its been a while since I did an FG update. So bear with (with who? where is he! I can't see it!? ffs, Lee) I'm sure everyone's days are blending into one these days. 2020 has been one of those years for the history books and we could've said that in March, let alone December which is still just over 5 months away. Isolation has been a double-edged sword in some respect; its been great to see so many chances to spend more time with your immediate family at home but what comes with permanent home comforts is the lethargic lack of routine, loneliness, depression, anxiety which we've also seen impact so many of us. I imagine you all can relate to some degree? …

Equally, if something is too excessive and prefer it removed. Let's have it all here so we might be able to group some changes up into one night of updates.

Morning all 🙂 I spoke to Leigh this morning who let me have a little fiddle with all the buttons: WoW forum is now gone, topics moved to role playing games. Featured games merged in to game categories, featured games forum deleted. Created a FFXIV sub-forum in Role Playing Games. Moved all the Division 2 threads in to the Role Playing Games category, deleted forum. Any suggestions please pop them in here, see you online!

It was about time we needed a little refresh of sorts for our home to keep it fresh and take the FG baton speeding into 2020. So, I've spent quite a while updating most of the applications and features here but of course, as you can see we now have a nice new feel! Whilst there's still lots to do and updates to be done across many parts of FG still, this is a nice way to go into the Christmas period with a swanky pad befitting all your needs. You'll see you can now directly choose Light or Dark theme at the top without reloading, change the header to your own one on your Profile at FG and even change the theme colour if you want to (our FG red is the default).…

With 2019 coming to a close ive decided to put more of an effort in next year, there will be more videos, more streaming, more games, more everything! How ever, for this to be the best year yet, we obviously need you guys. I‘m calling on you guys to have a think about what you want to see? Whether it’s series of certain games or more montages or anything, just let me know. Also if other people want to get involved in making videos or having input or anything, just let me know. I’ll also be rendering out our intro and outro with different music from games so people are able to use them when they create they’re videos. Below I’ll make a lis…

It is unprecedented times in our lifetime and whether we agree or disagree with actions of our world organisations/governments, this is a key time for all of us to stick together and help others where we possibly can. I'm going to suggest we do a few things together as a community/family. 1 - Gaming up as much as possible We're all likely to have a little extra time in quarantine these next few weeks/months so I'd love to see people suggesting game nights and offering help on different games so people know there are others around if they feel alone or wanting help with something. 2 - Getting ideas into action on what support we can…

Now we have a chosen charity to support I want to keep momentum going. So we need ideas that you think would work, even if its an idea that raises just a few pounds. The more we have the better chance we all have to get involved. On that note, it would be good to know if you also want to be involved in any of the ideas. If it is anything physical I would absolutely look to get something sorted so you have some form of attire to wear and providing I have the conversations at MIND, i will then work out what i'm allowed to do with their logo, etc. So, drop anything you've got below or/and your involvements!

Well, its been 3 months since my Grandad passed away and its been very surreal time for me. For those that don't know, who haven't read my PPR, he was essentially my Dad. Lived with him all my life until I met my wife and always remained close to him. Without me knowing, you guys did what you always do best - you jumped to surround me, look after me when I felt quite lost and being great friends whenever I needed it. Exactly what you'd expect family to do. But you also gave me an opportunity to always have him remembered, by me, my family and everyone else that he helped along his journey. For that, i'll be eternally grateful to you all. The tree a…

Let's get the Giving Something Back moving this year that I eluded to in the recent Article posted. We need a Charity to affiliate to, like we asked about in June 2018 but never continued the momentum. Once we have them, we can engage with them and also start looking at doing some small Charity work to support the chosen Charity. I don't want to set a target figure as of yet, let's take this a stage at a time. So if you could be so kind to vote for one or the few that you would be happy to support, after a week we'll close the poll and which ever has won we will name them as our affiliated Charity for at least the next 12 months.

We'll soon be in a new decade, so let's all take a moment to remember the last 10 glorious years of gaming. I'm going to compile a list of 10 games from that time that I love the most, or think had the most effect on me. I'll be mostly thinking of Xbox 360, PS4, PC and Nintendo games. I'll look through my Steam library and see which games I've played the most. Anyway, list your top 10, in ranking order and then on New Years Eve we can compile them all and publish the definitive FG Games of the Decade. I'm going away now to have a think. NB: You can list 10 and change that list whenever you want up until 6pm (UK time) on New years Eve.

Just thought i'd chime in now the new FG home has been here for over a week now to see what you think about how the articles section is working out? Please be honest and constructive as its new and it'll be good to know if its being used/not used, nice addition, doesn't work for you, not sure if it'll be used, etc. Also, if you have ideas on how to build on the articles section out into next year e.g. ideas for things to write up about or even if you want to write one, please shout up. I don't want this to just to be me again, you guys have some way more interesting words than me. Maybe even a series of some stories might be interesting and fun for people to g…

Its that time again everybody. The time where we do our best to raise as much as we can so we can give out some awesome goodies to the people of FG. I actually think we won't raise as much this year, as I know everyone has been far too kind and generous with other things we've done so there won't be any pressure to give, like always. Obviously, it may be a smaller pool of items we can do but as I've kept up with most people's lives this year I don't think that's a bad thing sometimes. I'd like to do something slightly different this year which is we will gift out games such as CoD MW, Destiny 2 Shadowkeep, Sea of Thieves and many other things to pe…

As every year now comes along I hope this becomes a welcome addition as it's a moment where we can say thanks and well done to some of our awesome family FGers out there. We've had a quieter year this year as opposed to 2018, so I didn't feel it was right to have as many awards as last year. This is something I hope that will change for next year but for now I am still thankful to be able to give these following 4 awards out this year!

How would people enjoy a place where we could see your statistics from certain games e.g. Destiny 2 whereby we can show information regarding your specific scores such as Triumphs, K/D, hours wasted, etc. This could extend to the key games that FG players all play. It could be dependent on accessing the game data in some way (some developers allow their data to be accessed via API) but could be something we can update on a regular basis. Weekly or maybe more often IF we can find the time to regularly get an update going. I'd like to know your interest.

So I've been thinking about this for a while now. We need to come out and ask all of you which do you prefer. This is something that I want to try and make happen because its difficult when a lot of us are splintered across different channels so by doing this will mean we will ask every single FGer to join whichever the appropriate chat service. To be very very clear with this - The Website is still the central hub for all FG things. The chat service we have is complimentary to the website, not a replacement. Being part of FG means we all have a duty to come and check everyones stuff out here, not just the forum elements. I always said i'd keep this going bec…

Morning all. For a while now I know its a running joke when I say something about 'its on the website' and then the typical response is 'what, on the forum?'. Yep, you're right, it does show quite clearly we are mainly a forum but for ages I've been trying to show how much other fun stuff we have on here as well as being able to post up on the forums. Unfortunately, unless 'you know', then you're unlikely to check past the first page here. Equally, not everyone these days is up for posting a million and one things and if they do, they either kinda get missed or a good write up probably deserves a different space e.g. like a blog or article. So with that in min…

Rightey-o then ladies and gentlemans, I've been floating this idea around lately and there seems to be a fair amount of interest, so I'm going to start making plans.

"If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you." I think this is pretty fitting for Forever Gaming. That's really down to all the wonderful people here. I can go on and on about how this year for me personally has been a hard start but I imagine, and in a lot of cases I know, that a lot of people's lives inside and outside of FG are in a far more difficult spot. You all deserve a place that's always here when you need it. You need people, not just me, that are willing to listen, care about your opinion and are here to make your lives worthwhile.
