It would be great to arrive at the forum page and just click new posts (which is a common forum script feature) and arrive at a page that lists just the new forum posts.
If you are looking for a more involved forum then it would maybe good to find someone to design a bridge to link with phpbb3 for example. Oxwall is a written from scratch light forum which integrates well into the package.
I would love to see a bridge created just to play. Implementing it to the newsfeed etc would be a pain! In time I reckon you will get the options but is is still new in internet world!
V8 Poker is a term that doesn't seem to have a widely recognized meaning in the context of poker as of my last update. It could be a specific variant of the game, a poker room or website, or perhaps a reference to something else entirely. Could you provide more context or clarify what you're looking for regarding V8 Poker? https://v8gamebai.com
