The Forbidden Letter Game

J: Seems "I" can be tricky as well, because you used "bright" and "didn't" on that forbidden letter. Double fail!

(Edit: I'm an idiot.)

I guess "I" is a challenging letter.

K: This is not a letter that is hard. It might be one of the easiest letters.

L: What about this one? When I was writing I am finding out that…this one is hard without the forbidden thing.

M: Let's get this whole thread revived today everyone, shall we?

N: Oh, hey! I remember this old game.

I also remember the old pseudo-rule here is to write at least 10 or more words for each post to keep it fair for all of us.

O: It is great that this game is played again by players, like the user that had multiple smileys in their message!

P: Uh oh... Someone's making a CGI remake of The Land Before Time... What will come out of this?..

Q: Just taking the easy letter here to thank you guys for picking this game back up. I had a lot of fun with it back in the day

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #608 on:** July 02, 2024, 06:16:46 PM

R: It is awesome to play this game once again and get this topic active, Mumbling! What a fun activity this was, and still is!

The Chronicler · **Reply #609 on:** July 02, 2024, 08:08:16 PM

S: My main query for the topic at the current moment: Why only right now did you decide to bring back the Forbidden Letter game?

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #610 on:** July 03, 2024, 06:23:03 PM

T: My reason for bringing back Mumbling's game of forbidden keyboard symbols now is because of my lapse of memory!

The Chronicler · **Reply #611 on:** July 03, 2024, 08:23:31 PM

U: So, basically, just some random digital digging into things on this site, I believe. Eh, whatever works.

V: Yep, yep, yep! Isn't it insane that I forgot this game, The Chronicler? I'm quite ashamed that I hadn't resurrected this game sooner! It is one of the most fun forum games here after all, and it would be a shame for this game to be forgotten in the depths for eternity! This is such an easy letter, I can literally keep adding words here infinitely. I won't though, since somebody else needs to go next!

The Chronicler · **Reply #613 on:** July 06, 2024, 11:34:24 PM

W: It's all fun and games until it eventually becomes obvious there's only a pair of participants. Hopefully, there shall be continued activity here among some other members, too.

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #614 on:** July 07, 2024, 02:01:50 PM

X: I agree with you. It definitely would be more fun if there were more than two participants in these forum games. Word Connection, Word Association, Alphabet Game, and now this current game are the main ones that we do. At the very least, there are other forum members here that occasionally play one of these games. This is especially important for Alphabet Game and this game, where we usually keep doing the same letters since nobody else usually interjects. 2019 and 2020 were our most active forum years, but unfortunately those days are behind us. Then again, I don't think the forum was ever as active as those two years, unless there is an older forum member here to enlighten me on that?

The Chronicler · **Reply #615 on:** July 07, 2024, 08:00:21 PM

Y: I've been here since the end of 2007, so I guess that makes me one of the "old-timers". Circa 2010-2015 could be considered perhaps the most active time period, I suppose. Odds are low it'll ever get quite that active ever again. People on the internet at present times just don't use forums much like such people used to.

Mumbling · **Reply #616 on:** July 08, 2024, 02:19:10 AM

Z: I actually believe that the forum had more activity in 2008 and 2009 compared to the years that followed. Then again, that was before direct messaging programs (like Discord now) had any sort of stable group functions, so many people used the forum to send quick updates about their life to everyone. 2010-2015 was big on Land Before Time fanfiction and general discussions.

ImpracticalDino · **Reply #617 on:** July 08, 2024, 12:59:38 PM

A: Interesting! Hopefully Mumbling or The Chronicler will be permitted to tell me more in the next upcoming post if the letter in question is not forbidden. Furthermore, would 2019 to 2020 be considered in the group of "most flourishing" forum times, you would pronounce?

The Chronicler · **Reply #618 on:** July 08, 2024, 07:50:33 PM

B: For the record, I wasn't intending on any specific years. I just couldn't use words like "early" for a more general range I had intended to say, such as "early 2010s". Anyway, I do recall that 2007 was the first year when lots of new users suddenly joined, and while I can't pin down any specific peak years, I do know that quite a few of the prominent old-timers gradually left over the late 2010s, and things have especially declined in the most recent years.

C: I had to run the daily stats again to make sure all the totals from previous years were present as well. If you are interested in seeing how many posts there were per year, please visit this page.
