Happy Weekend Everyone!
Truth be told, I’m not as crabby as I look. But I have been pretty busy this week! Thanks to Cinner for the t-shirt and the ‘crabby’ idea.
I was so happy to see so many of you meeting up this week in the chat rooms! I guess long badges are perfect for gathering and chatting with friends new and old!
A couple things of note this weekend:
Kat and many others wrote in to talk about the changes to the scoreboards of some of Pogo’s games. We’d covered the initial changes when it was just Poppit and Boggle, but since then a bunch more games have received the royal treatment! It looks like all of the games so far are ones that are also on Pogo’s Facebook application, so it may not happen to all of the games on Pogo, but it’s sure to happen to a few more before they’re done. What do you think of these changes?
badlokii and a few others asked about the rumors going around the Pogo community about people being suspended for “excessive chat”. Have you heard of this? Has it happened to you?
Feel free to expand on either of these topics or start one of your own. If you need badge help this is the time to ask, and if you can help someone, please do so! There’s no such thing as off-topic in the weekend open thread, so speak up and let us know what’s on your mind.
See you in the comments!

Update 7/30: This album will be called Pogo Time Machine!
