Achilles, when you read this, the question will have fallen and landed in the Other Forum Questions forum, where it belongs...

I am far from sure what "arcade" refers to in this case, but I seem to remember that I, in the past, have looked in vain for "arcades" suitable for phpBB2 forums.

But if you can find an arcade that is remotely hosted (like shoutboxes are, for example), and of suitable size to be put on the Index page of your forum, then it can be done.

Here is a Guide about putting games on your forum:

Another option is to use the Footer:

Copy the provided script/code and paste it into the Footer:

Admin Panel >> General Admin >> ForumUp >> HTML codes on top and bottom of all forum pages >> Code at the bottom of the forum, after all topics.

Exclamation Be very careful to copy and paste the complete code / script. Double check that the closing tags, like </script> and </embed>, are there, before you click Edit allow HTML. A missing > can make a mess of your forum.

As you seem to have paid to remove the ads, it will show up right below the "who is online" section of the forum. Otherwise it ends up below the bottom ad.

The good thing with using the Footer is that there is more space, and that the games (or other stuff) does not interfer with the layout of the actual forum.

What could be a problem, in a case like this, is that the Footer shows on all forum pages, which means that it could interfer with the loading times, when you "click around" on the forum. To wait for something big and slow to load, every time you "turn the page", can be quite annoying for you and your members...
