Queries: Can
anyone join Thumb Bandits?
Of course, we welcome ALL newcomers
with open arms, we're not a cliquey
community.
Why do
you have so many female members?
Just VERY Lucky. Our large female
member demographic sets us apart
from most other gaming communities
and we see this as a good thing.
I'm pretty
forum shy... Where should I begin?
Begin anywhere you like, but a
simple way to begin is to put
a small intro to yourself in the
'Wanted Dead or Alive' section
of the forum. You can see what
other people have said in theirs
to give you an idea if stuck.
Why can't
non members post?
Simple... Guest postings are a
spammers delight. You therefore
have to be a registered member
to post.
Well that covers most of the
menu and forum sections, which
are the usual things we get asked
about ("what's this section
for?") and some of the most
asked questions that have come
up since we started the site.
If you need to know anything not
covered here, or have a suggestion
as to things you feel SHOULD be
covered here then just PM one
of the admin team and we'll get
straight on it.
The main thing to remember with
regards to the site is we're gamers
who LOVE gaming and we want to
bring you, the member, a good
resource and somewhere fun / relaxing
to hang out. We're not interested
in Flame wars like some other
forums seem to be. This is all
about the games and making new
friends. Feel safe and hang out
with us... we have Sherrifs all
over the place... our town is
outlaw free. ;o)
I've
Left Our original FAQ at the bottom
as it's a little more indepth
but covers everything already
explained.

We're
REALLY hoping we don't get grief
for this section since it's designated
'female only'. Given the SHEER amount
of male only / male interest stuff
on other gaming sites we thought
we'd try a different approach..
the strong / cool woman over the
usual 'DAILY BABE' or 'CHESTY BROAD'
sections on some other sites. This
section honors one cool female character
a month.. members vote. |
 |
Something
to add a little light amusement
to the site. The Thumb Bandits comix
are all related to those things
we as Thumb Bandits members know
and love best. These include technology,
gaming, computing etc. Anyone can
make a comic for this section! |
 |
Pretty
self explanatory, these are editorials
written by not only the Thumb Bandits
Admin team but we're also hoping
by our forum members too! The way
we see it this is a community site
so we'd love it if people took part
on a deeper level. So if you have
an idea for an article let us know! |

This
is one of the Game Reviews section.
We think this one is handy because
these are JUST the games that have
scored a 9 or more over ALL formats
in any of the other game review
sections. This makes it easy for
you to see ALL of the truly amazing
games reviewed on the site in the
one area. |
 |
Another
Review section. We thought it made
sense to section off the Survival
Horror genre games and give them
their own section on the site. It's
an area that is growing all the
time with developers and it houses
some of the more chilling moments
in gaming |
 |
This
is the section in which two games
that hold a lot of similarities
go head to head to see which one
comes out on top! The cool thing
about this section is they DON'T
have to be from the same platform
even, we're firm believers that
new doesn't necessarily mean better
so we'll be throwing a few retro
vs next gen into the mix. |
 |
Every
now and again there comes a game
that is amazing but it gets swept
under the rug either because of
no marketing or plain stupidity
on the part of the gaming community.
This is the area you'll find those
games that are hidden treasures,
games that although overlooked overall
deserve some recognition. |
 |
Let's
not beat around the bush here, Bullet
reviews AREN'T meant to tell you
frame rates, discuss draw distance,
mow over capacity etc. The Bullet
review is something we felt other
sites overlooked (to their detriment),
they're SHORT and let you know what
you want fast.. does the game suck
or is it worth buying. It's a no
frills review. |
 |
Most
of the Admin Team here at Thumb
Bandits are 'Old Skool' gamers,
we've been gamers a LONG time and
we therefore know there's some treats
to be had on olderformats. This
is where we'll review those and
let you know what you just might
be able to pick up for only a couple
of bucks at your local cash convertors. |
 |
Beware
all ye who enter here! This is where
the truly bottom of the barrel games
end up. Use this section as a warning
area to let you know just what games
you should really be avoiding. May
they stay forever buried! |
 |
This
WAS originally going to be a menu
item, but we opted to instead do
what many forums don't, we added
a mac section. This is so all us
Mac people can talk about anything
Mac related, be it hardware or software.
|
 |
Who
knows... a chat facility is something
we're thinking about implementing
in the future, although in the past
we have found these rarely get used.
This is part of the reason we decided
to just have a section in the forum
called the Saloon instead (at least
for now). |
 |
This
was going to be another main menu
item but due to the brilliance of
our Lady coders is now a lovely
automated right side menu item where
you can add any cool webgames you
come across on the web. Just click
it and add your link! |
