The Basement's whole purpose is for you to earn tbt earning forum games. I'm pretty sure you earn tbt on the Introduction Board. I believe the Bulletin board doesn't earn you tbt.
I always found it strange how people could receive TBT Bells by playing forum games but not from welcoming new members. I think welcoming people to the community is very important and receiving TBT Bells in the process would probably encourage more people to do so.

You can't, and have never been able to earn bells by playing forum games in the basement.
You might be able to get the by making a thread in the basement (tbh idk if you do, I'm not going to make a thread to check), but you definitely don't earn them from regular posts there. Idk what ur on about
No, I'm sure you can! You used to be able to, at least. I remember when I was about to hit 1,000 posts, and I reached it by playing random forum games. It may have changed now, though. I'm not sure.
I think you're getting confused.
They used to have it so that posting in the basement wouldn't increase your post count, but then they removed the limit, which is why you would've hit 1,000 posts from a basement post. But just because they made it so basement posts count towards your overall post count, doesn't mean you earn tbt bells from basement posts, just because they add to your post count. You still don't get bells, and never did, regardless if they add to your post count or not.
