If you were to create it, would it be located on Proboards or Delphi?
Astra
Delphi.
I have a paid membership there - we might as well make use of it.
I've also created my own forum, know the tech guys well and have experience.
Cheers,
Jenifer

I don't think any of this great planning will be relevant in the near future.
As sad as it is, I believe it's not just the forums that are closing down. I have a feeling Big Fish Games will soon be going in a very different direction.
Churchill Downs recently sold Big Fish Games to Aristocrat Technologies which is a social online casino company. There's no guarantee that Aristocrat will continue the format which has been Big Fish Games' model. It will likely just become a gambling site. Would they have paid $990 million for FTP games?
I hope I'm wrong but I think the writing is on the wall.

Interesting. But this is not about a game. It's about the friendships.
I've had them torn away, trust me - it hurts.
We're not trying to save BFG. We're trying to save a community.

I totally agree that there are some wonderful and helpful people here on the forum and I hope the community will continue elsewhere.
My concern is also about the game we have all invested so much time (and money) over the years. I would like the game to continue but chances are it will end. My other concern is that the Moderators were not entirely forthcoming with the very important information of the sale and what the future of the game is, announcing only the end of the forum.

Huh! First time I've heard of Churchill Downs selling BFG. Will check out Aristocrat Technologies. I think they make one of my favorite slot machines, Sun & Moon.
Hopefully we will get to play through another Fall Event. Halloween is my thang!
But if not, well, it's been fun playing Dark Manor and Midnight Castle and getting to know so many GREAT Friends here. Y'all have truly been my lifeline.
I'll need to be outside monitoring Dad as soon as the rain here stops in a couple of weeks, lest he skewer himself with a yard tool (again) And it will be just too hot to play on the 'puter during the day anyway. Don't want to fry yet another computer.
And we have a large 2 Day SteamPunk Festival here in a neighboring town in June, and am sooooo looking forward to making it out to at least ONE event. IF I can finish my costume(s) in time. Or next year. Or the next.
Thank you, Jenifer and everyone putting this new home for us together! Really looking forward to the rejoining THIS Great Community . . . see you in Delphi soon!

it free to open the forum.. it's open to world at large it's available to every device..
we should get started and choose someone seriously reliable and dedicated to open it..
I just said in another thread .. that we need and deserve a new forum.. pond friends was perfect for when bigfish was alive and well..
I think we could transfer all those precious threads and their pages of conversation to the new forum that everyone keeps talking about and we need to name our forum start posting it's address getting the word out where to meet.......

I have plenty of advice for solutions
who ever is chosen to start up our new forum at ..https://www.proboards.com/create-free-forum
can go to Mail.com and open a email account for free naming that email address after the name of our forum.. so the email address is able to be posted out loud and clearly for folks to find us..
I think there might be a @game.com available... or @gaming.com the mail site has several categories to choose from ...
why not.. this way no ones personal and private life email address is out here in our treacherous world.. the new email would be used just for our new forum..so we ask for invites in ... etc etc etc..
