Probably wrong forum

[kyoshi6]

Has anyone ever tried to ask a mod or admin as to whether or not any board games could be added to the gaming rooms ? Mainly the game of CHESS ? Mods feel free to move this post if need be or forward it to whomever it should go to. Thanks

We already have games and a karma casino.

I don't think there are any plans in the works for more games.

What kind of games do you mean? There's a link for a number of games here at the top of the forum screens.

If you mean something like chess, which I've only seen physicsforums.com integrate into their vBulletin subforums, it's something that I think would make an awesome addition to EF here. I'm not sure how much work it'd take to add on, though.

He might be good at games involving water sports too!

I am 100% for getting Chess here! That shouldn't be difficult.

I think physicsforums.com got rid of is some time ago for some reason or another... may have had to do with vBul upgrades. I dunno.

But it was awesome. You went to a Chess subforum under their General Discussion (C&C) board, and it was kind of like the bookie forum here -- a thread starter in the Chess forum started a game, and accepted another poster who wanted to play against that person. Each game was self-contained in a single thread. There was no time limit; you could each make a move or two a day, or just straight play each other like a normal game. And, like a normal thread, others could click on it and see who's winning and stuff.

Really neat stuff. I don't know much about vBulletin, though, so I have absolutely no idea if this is an easy add-on, something that requires programming time, or something that would have to be purchased on top of everything else.

i've reported you to the administration for this thread. you should be ashamed of yourself.

Ah ha!

Apparently it's something you download from vBulletin.org Forum - The Official vBulletin Resource!.

Here's the thread about it: Chess - vBulletin.org Forum

Example of what it looks like to play chess in vbulletin thread format: Open Challenge - GiveUpAlready.com

I don't know if this vbulletin.org place has people and stuff from those who sell vbulletin, or if it's something where people can post up potentially malicious downloads, however.
