I know it was a good idea for the two FOG's and i love it but hardly anyone comes on it anymore some seem to have left even. LAst night for about an hour and a half it was just RBS, er-no and I and that was at 8 o clock.
I like the 2 fogs but others seem to be threatened some how by it and don't come on much now.

Bonus will be glad!

And yeah the exams would have had an impact on the numbers. As they will in the coming GCSE exams!

Sorry Tony,

I think we have to see how this goes for a little while yet. A single forum can take a thousand or so posts per day quite easily, but if UKdiscussions carries on growing at previous rates then we will reach this level in the FOGs within a few months. Then we will NEED to impose a few rules for it to be enjoyable. The natural split is prime topics and chat, and the bridge link makes it easy to get around.

I'm keeping it under close scrutiny and I was interested to see FOG2 outdoing FOG1 for a while.

I think the better weather and exams have more to do with the lower levels of activities on some days.

So - no vote on this for the time being, but naturally it could be undone if we need to undo it.

Just to confirm, we will be splitting the cheats out to their own competition.

I think Tony's tagline should be:
