Playing.Ru (2005) was an experimental gaming portal built on our forum engine, featuring 1001 Flash games with descriptions, discussions, and community interaction.
In 2005, we launched Playing.Ru, a gaming portal featuring a collection of 1001 free Flash games.
Each game had its own page with description and could be played directly in the browser — all integrated with our community system.
🎮 A catalog of 1001 Flash games, each with its own playable page.
📝 Descriptions and info for every game.
💬 Integrated with our forum engine for comments, ratings, and discussions.
🔗 Connected to our forum ecosystem, later separated onto its own domain.
🗂️ Built entirely on our CMS + vBulletin integration.
Playing.Ru was less about business and more about experimenting with new directions.
It extended our forum ecosystem into the gaming space, giving users both a place to play and a community to discuss games.
While the portal itself never became a major traffic driver, it represented an early experiment in entertainment-focused web platforms, foreshadowing later trends in casual gaming portals.
