In my first act as a new Admin, I was planning this for a while prior but let's ignore that, I'm going to add a new forum based on two topics that always seem very distinct in the Lounge when they show up and easily get buried in the craziness of what goes on there, so hopefully this can get a little bit more geeky - plus an outlet for the one arm of entertainment, after music, sports, TV and film that we haven't had a forum for for some years - gaming and technology.

This will take all aspects of video gaming as well as topics for technical help and discussing the features of programs, devices and gadgets (anything from asking about how to use Excel to how music is created to new phones and cutting-edge technology from tech giants).

HarryEzra will be joining me as a mod to start off with, although as I'm an Admin now, I'll be looking for a second mod soon, but I'll set everything up.

Do come in, even if you don't play games or play them on different outlets, there'll be tech news and you may find that part of the forum useful, as well as ways to connect on different platforms. As my experience is in PC gaming, I'm well aware that my starting topics are going to be quite oriented to that, so console gamers, tech enthusiasts, anyone with an interest in either one of those, definitely stop by.

You'll find it between under Sports, it will move between Sports & Retro whenever I figure out how to do that for main forums, we agreed it wasn't quite suited to going in with the TV/Film arm of Entertainment where it had been last. Basically I'm going to be looking at what didn't work last time and trying to make it a success for modern Buzzjack, where out in the real world both of these sectors are still advancing rapidly.

We need Oliver as a mod for this tbh, I think he's one of the bigger gamers here. or me tbh, pick me.

Really hoping to get this off the ground this time around as it's a great forum space to have and I know there is a lot of posters of would be interested in this forum.

Michael is also quite an enthusistic gamer too! This could be finally his opportunity to become a moderator if he applies!

Posted by: Liаm 6th January 2018, 06:29 PM

Definitely second the idea of Oliver as another mod he is SO passionate about games moreso than anyone on Buzzjack or indeed anyone I know really

I challenge Oliver to a passionate games off!

I have Ps4, Ps3, Xbox360, modded ps2 and normal ps2 and PC games. And PokemonGo. And Wii.

Thank you good night x

Great to see this idea come to life! Not really a gamer so I won't be contributing that much but I'll certainly stick my head in

Posted by: The Snake 6th January 2018, 09:55 PM

I am sure I would be able to contribute to that topic a bit !

As for moderators both Oliver and Michael sound like good choices! I am supporting Michael's bid of course though

Posted by: Cameron 6th January 2018, 10:29 PM

Oliver has been wanting this for ages, pick him!
Also YAS great choice of forum!!!

Posted by: Lorde 6th January 2018, 10:35 PM

Hyped for this!!!

Posted by: Jonjo 6th January 2018, 10:38 PM

Yeah Oliver for sure should be moderator.

Fingers crossed for this to work beyond the initial hype. I doubt I'll be using the forum much unless there's a Crash Bandicoot games/character rate or something

But wishing you good luck with this forum again. I'll try and contribute where I can though ofc!

Interesting choice to reintroduce, I guess with online gaming now a thing it may stand a chance. Hope it goes better this time around

Posted by: Oliver 7th January 2018, 10:26 AM

Man after my own heart!

Posted by: The Snake 7th January 2018, 02:43 PM

May the battle for moderator commence between you and Michael!

Posted by: Good Old Days 7th January 2018, 07:01 PM

It's great to have new interesting forum.

Maybe somewhere in the future we will have a forum for Lithuanian music.
Oh, dreams, dreams...

I have now made my choice on a second mod and added Oliver to the team. Welcome back!

Welcome to the Team Oliver

Posted by: Jay ☆ 9th January 2018, 10:14 AM

Great choices all round! Really pleased with this forum being reintroduced. I'll mainly post in there about Nintendo.

Posted by: Bré 9th January 2018, 06:25 PM

Welcome back to the mod team then Oliver it would feel wrong to have a BuzzJack gaming forum without Oliver as a mod after all x

(also WD Harry and hope this forum can be made a success woo etc.)

Posted by: Jonjo 9th January 2018, 07:50 PM
