That's right. Now there are two Future Of Gaming Forums.

This one was formerly the MIST forum.

I suppose really we should call them 1 and 2.

Or what about (Newb) and (Regu)?

Or Bill and Ben?

Can we slip under the radar in disguise and teach them.

Mind you, considering my 1st posts here were complaining about why the PS2 was useless as a domestic appliance (beverage tray being impractical when horizontal etc), I'm amazed I got this far.

Let's have an initiation FoG...

Lock all Newbies in one forum, where they stay and earn the right to be a regular by arguing about Console Wars until they are sick of it. Then - and ONLY then - upgrade them to Regular and give them access to the main FoG.

and i as a newbie still think you should make two forums, the 'newbie's forum', for all of us to chat, argue etc in, so we can post and become fully fledged regulars and then join the 'regular forum' for the regulars and above to chat in, i think it would make things a whole lot easier!!

But i do not know what would stop the 'newbies' from posting in the regulars section, can you put special passwords/locks or something, or if a newbie has psoted in the regular section he/she could be banned?

Hope this helps chris

Tony, everyone is still going to stay on the bigger FOG, as Grix said, give the notables something to do.....

Yeah, let's lock all the newbies in this one, and then we can have at least ONE decent forum. ;0)

I still like er-no's idea about newbies being voted to be regulars by the Notables. Would give us something to do.

I am very angry this has happened. I still believe that everyone will stay on FOG #1.

Actually, I think this could be interesting. Would be even more interesting if you were to hide the number of posts made on each of the FOG forums.
