gog2002x: They've added [Forum game] to the titles of topics that people created as a game. One example is the "Word Association Game"

GamezRanker: One of the staffers did that for a few forum games, and I thought it was a nice change(makes forum games easier to spot for newcomers, for starters) so I let staff know about a number of others so they could add the tag to them as well.
(of course I might've missed some....as I only checked among the threads I have favorited)
I agree. In my opinion the [Forum game] labels also help in giving us an idea on how frequently attended those games are. Because I think one of the main annoyances that people who hate forum games have to deal with is the idea of having to read every single thread title and be disappointed the moment they realize a few of them are forum games. Therefore these labels should at least reduce that extra load of work since they make the forum games much more noticable with only a quick glance.

If GOG was serious about it they would make a subcategory thread for the forum games and stick them all there Like

Wouldn't be too hard to implement and it would get rid off the unnecessary clutter.

They could even do it with GiveAways and competitions

But I guess we are just asking a bit much, Considering how fricken useless they all are, Considering all the "Make Work" jobs they do THEY SHOULD HIRE a WEBDEV FFS, They make Enough money!

Breja: And now the reply icon in the forum is broken for me again. The permanent purple dot is bad enough, the forum replies page being broken is bad enough, but if even that icon does not appear to indicate a reply the forum becomes almost unusable. Come on GOG.
I know Breja this is what you get from friggin "Diversity hires" that don't know WTF they are doing, What do you expect when You see this:

Going to be honest, kinda wish GOG made bigger, more sweeping changes than a minor thing like that.

timppu: Over time, it got increasingly worse for me. Sometimes opening, sometimes GOG bear, increasingly GOG bear...

Sometimes it took a few reloads of that page and then the list came up, but nowadays it never does.

What changed over time? The amount of games I own in GOG (hence, how many game subforums I'm subscribed to), and the number of messages I've written.

So I presume it is related to either or both of the above. It doesn't seem to be at least directly related to the overall userbase of the forum, as with a new fresh GOG account, there is no timeout (yes I tried it in the past...).
I get the feeling it's like those horrific old blob files that users of Outlook used to have to deal with; a hidden internal database that once it reached a certain size, everything broke.
