The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Note: There is a copy of this one the other FOG as well. Please read the whole of this.
I think this whole 2 FOGs thing is a disatser. It was great before, and I don;t think too many people complained. Sure you got the odd newbie who post some crap topics but they stop after a while and everything's great.
We have regulars because you know that they are usually there at some point and you can chat with them Now there are 2 FOGs you don't know which one they're concentrating on and so I'll end up posting in both. I used to have to have 2 windows open and I could cope very nicely with the one forum, and I would methodically go down each the topics, reading them all and adopting a few to chat on. No I'll have to have 4 windows open to keep up, and I will not be a happy chappy. The response time on posts will half and I might stop coming, because the great response time is what I used to come here for.
I know you've got a webby there with you, so can you please get rid of the chatter forum and rename it something useful, like SR Posse stories. Then, whenever a SR Posse story come in, we can all know, and go and look. You could also somehow work it out so that people in the FOg forum would be alerted of a new SR Posse story.
There, I've said it.

The Notables. We've got to do something, anyway. :0)
"Would all current regulars get in straight away, some of the current regulars are as bad as some newbies in my opinion."
Hmmm... if this is the case, then one a week is simply not enough. Perhaps it should be a anytime thing, so the Notables can vote in anyone they want, WHEN they want. Obviously, they will have to agree though. Perhaps at least three votes, as Meka is away for obvious reasons, and FM is often busy.
Saying that though, Sniper is hardly on at the moment.
"How would the whole thing work?"
Don't you just hate it when you answer the question on a paper... and then a question comes up that asks what you just wrote? :0)
Two forums. One for newbies, one for the voted in regs.
Regs would NOT be given a password, as this can easily be leaked. All they need is to log in, and this should automatically give them access to the forum.
New regs can be voted at any time. By at least three Notables.
This is all hypothetical at the moment... any questions?

CONTROL AND G TW!
You could 'Vote' newbies in, not a bad idea, but having a 5 hour pasword-night forum will enable the FOG to slow down a bit at night (It's busiest).
I mean the regulars could probably tell who should enter the password forum and who is just posting for the sake of GAD.
They could have a vote once a month.
The 'new' regulars e-mailed to let them know they are up for nomination.
