UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat BB games?

Does anyone know of any good resources for community buliding "games" or topics?

For example, the place name game in the general conversation area at UBB. It is just a little nonsense game to get people involved. I am looking for more activities like that.

The word association game has been very popular on my board. Alphabet games or the name game using various topics (food, animals, etc.) also works.

Monopoly is a great board game... I like to be the race car...

I think a Question & Answer thread is indispensable. (Answer a question, leave one for the next person.)

This forum on my board is almost nothing but games, has the smallest number of topics but the highest post count. Maybe you can swipe a couple of ideas from there, if you'd like.

Thanks for the hints everyone

Another one - the Caption Competition.

Post a picture or image, and ask the users to create a caption for what is being said / being done / going on.

This works particularly well at my forums.

Great idea CC! I have hundreds of picture that would be useful for... my other site, I mean.... I could prolly dredge up a few cam shots for here too...

Personally, I'm rather fond of the wheelbarrow....

Whack-a-rat in flash with your moderators' photos...

http://www.flashkit.com for the whach-a-rat source...

On one of the boards we host there is a 3797 post thread.

It was called "whoever gets the last word". the first person posted that title and simply put one word. "wins".

The moderator finally closed it when the server had a small difficulty updating the html pages for it.(95) They started a new one this afternoon, it is already on page 6 I see.

I saw another plenty-page thread where they were playing hangman. Yet another where the object was to be the person that posted the xnumber thread on the xth page.

Oh, the best thread I ever saw was one called the Inquisition of ......... (I promised not to tell) and it was a riot!

[edit was just informed by (I promised not to tell) that it was Interrogation - oops]

Anyhow it spanned multiple threads.

Borg I can't get my hand on the whach-a-rat source, would you have some more infos on were to get it ?

thanks

I have sadistic writers for members on my board. They made the alphabet game a little tougher. Each sentence has to begin with the appropriate letter, and END with the next letter in line. Trust me, it can be tough.

Amy

A sentence that ends in b?

Can a more difficult task be located?

Especially a sentance not loaded with fluff.

good gosh how can you be so hard on something that is so yummy in your stomach?

( fluff! )

I don't think about it because I'm busy wondering why you spell "navaho" with an 'h' instead of a 'j'

We may nejer know...

LOL

Keep guessing then because no knowing will make your life dismal.

Maybe I'll come up with the answer if I use my noggin'

Or maybe not you silly fop. ;P

Quit calling me a fop, or I'll grind you into powder!

Vanna, I'd like to buy a vowel...

Seem's it is not a vowel you are looking for but the letter t.

Um, if you can't figure out the rules then go watch TV.

Oh, it was a continent, no constant, wait.. consanant..

Two, two, two jokes in one..

Well, that joke was tighter then Fort Knox.

Yes, but it lacked a certain pizzaz!

Thanks folks, we'll be here all week. Please tip your waitress!

I would settle for someone paying off my bar tab.

Well you don't drink, so I assume your bar tab would be $0. I'll pay that. Where do I mail the air to?

Click there?
