    yes, they were listed under arcade games before boards was changed over.
    I asked about them before but never got an answer.
    I still dont see them anywhere Merc,
    are you sure subs have them?

    Merc, could you NOT do that? Thanks.

    We havent moved the games to Subscriber only. If you remember we said (well more accurately *I* said, but I think I speak for all the admins) that we wouldnt charge for something we already did.

    The truth is that the games were great but created more problems then you could imagine for us as half the time they dumped the high score and didnt record it. When we moved everything over to the new server about a year and a half ago, the games got lost, probably in a brown cardboard box, along the way. Actually we forgot to reinstall them and kinda gave a group shrug. Regi discovered them first and installed them. PM him, not me. :)

    I'll see if there is a better version available or preferably if anyone can find free vBulletin related games (the same, or better) then link them here and we'll have a look.

    DeV.

    Er? I assumed there was either a decision that I'd not noticed or some sort of mistake wrt group access to the games when merc posted that. Merc, you're a subscriber, do you have access to the games somewhere?

    Lies tbh.
    I distinctly remember people taking the piss with them, putting 'Moderator' under their names and acting the arse with them in general. (probably why they were taken away)
    Although this was waay back in the day, probably close to the ign->boards.ie change over when the ability to change taglines was new and amazing... way before my time, tbh I don't know how I even remember! <looks shifty and runs away>
