Overview[edit]

The BZFlag Forums are provided as a public service by the project administration for use by the BZFlag community.

URL[edit]

The BZFlag Forums are located at http://forums.bzflag.org

Usage[edit]

The forums are provided for the discussion of BZFlag related topics, including but not limited to;

  • Help and Technical support
  • New Releases and Version Updates
  • Server Management
  • Plug-in Release and Development
  • Map Release and Development
