This forum is for general discussion about The BGDF. Please DO NOT post Game Creation content in this forum. Instead post helpful things, like features you would like to see, better ways to organize the site, stuff like that.
It would help if you phrase your post in the form of a suggestion rather than a rant or complaint - thanks!
