  Nico/Champ,  Look at the mess these forums have become...and the culprits are easy to spot so no need for me to list them.  It's time to create a HELP/FAQ link on the app and shut this area down.  All other good apps have that feature and don't have a .com site as a supplement.  Please tell me this is on your radar.

  Not sure who you are referring to, although you've done nothing to improve the situation with many of your comments, unlike what some others are trying to do.  A lot of the 'mess' has recently been cleared up.  But it's quite simple, if you don't like the forum... stay away.  For many of us 'old-timers' the forum has been a big part of WGT.

  Totally disagree.  Although, I'm not a regular poster, I have found volumes of useful information in these forums that i didn't find anywhere else.

  I am sure that there are many more just like me.  

  My only complaint is that after 4 years of WGT, my posts are still being moderated.

  Very true.  I can just about see how some may want to take away what others enjoy or benefit from if it impacts negatively on them, but if it's something they can easily avoid.....

  Appeal to "Contact" or to a mod - they should liberate you.

  My kids/grandkids all play games via apps, etc. and every game has a FAQ/Help area where all the info in these forums could reside.  Players can post as well as just go for answers to questions.  Since flash sunsetted and the launcher has stabilized what new stuff have you truly learned from the forum posts?  FAQs and Help areas are so the same mundane questions don't get asked endlessly.  The game is rather intuitive.  The questions asked and answered in here are simple lookups.  The new content has added very little in terms of necessary game knowledge.  It's like watching the movie Groundhog Day over and over and over...and thinking it's newly released each time you watch.  The number of posters has dwindled and the players who are benefitting are only here because there is no area on the app and launcher with answers to FAQs.  It's like some people are waiting for Andyson to rise from the dead so there's a reason to laugh again.  Well that ship has sailed long ago.

  Paul;

  You know about Apps and what your grand-kids are into tech wise?...I can't even answer my wife's cell phone. I'm hopeless when it comes to any kind of technology.

  I'm thinking there are a few others in the same boat...ergo, the forums are meant for us...lol

  Long live "old-school"..:)

  Colin, the next time your wife's phone rings and she's not around to answer it, just shout at it...
