Hello! I'd like to suggest adding a BYOND forum section. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who still enjoy classic 2D games and I know that most of you may not know what BYOND is and what it is for, so I will write a little review(kinda like A/Q) about it.
Q: What is BYOND?

As a developer you get to create your own game with unique features using an easy-to-learn programming language, built-in support. built-in map engine and lots of developer tools. IT'S COMPLETELY FREE

It is completely free, it has free developer tools, you can make profit from it, the programming language is easy to learn and yet powerful, BYOND has built-in support. Also the client of BYOND support a 'pager' which is kind of a messenger where you can send messages and invite people to your game. It has a friend function, bookmarks and personal hub where you can post info about you and your games.
