Games link

So I just happened to notice a link on the front page that goes here. I suspect the link has been there for ages and I just never noticed it before, but what’s up with that? Does the board get revenue if people play those games?

Yeah it’s been there for quite a while. I have no idea if there’s any revenue generated from it or not.

It didn’t work for me. I tried the Bridge game, but nothing happened. Could be interference from AdBlock, I guess.

Thanks for the info.

I tried it on my windows machine, my linux machine, and my android tablet.

On the windows machine and the linux box (both running firefox) I had to enable scripts for that page, but I did not have to do anything to Adblock Plus. It said something like advertisement, your game will play shortly in a teeny tiny little font, and then after about 45 seconds or so (I didn’t time it) the game started to play.

On my android tablet, all I got was a screen that said “Hi there”.

Yeah, even with adblock on, you have to wait until the ad is finished, kinda like how Hulu works. I thought it didn’t work at first, too.

It doesn’t work on mobile, though. I think it assumes mobile doesn’t have Flash. I haven’t bothered trying to work around it, but you might be able to if you have Flash installed.

I’m sure it doesn’t give money unless you have adblock disabled, though.

BTW, I made the GAMES button. They had lost the original font. It wasn’t hard or anything, but it was nice to get a thanks and actually see it used.
