Every forum from the early 2000s worth its salt had an arcade: a page of small games, a high score table, and one member who would not let go of the top spot.

Not at the moment.

You got this one pushed through very quickly! I know there is a guy on my other forum I run who used to love the arcade games we had at one time. Maybe I’ll let him know it’s available on the FS sites so he can play once again and then he can tell all his friends.

The hardest work was finding the games, which was already done a while ago since it’s a ported extension. Surprisingly, the Arcade is a very much wanted feature among forum users. 🙂 It seems that nostalgia still hits us!

Oh ok, but still a good job with this release, it will be nice to have an Arcade again.

Great job @Cedric You’re killing it with FS!

I remember on ZetaBoards, the code Thunder Arcade was one of the most popular on the service, so it’s good to see it added as an official feature of the software. I’m sure many will put it to good use.

This is awesome.

This is why I love FS 🥰

Oh man, Thunder Arcade.

Awesome update! I installed the arcade but when I try to access it, I get a 403 error.

Someone else reported it as a bug with a redirection issue. Could that be the same problem you’re having?

Arcade Issue - ForumSpark Support

Unsure, the domain remains mine with the path /arcade unless the redirect is happening behind the scenes or something.
