"I have no love for the forums any more."

Every day, you could come on, and there would be... six, perhaps five new topics. Each of them would be excellently written, discussing new points. It was interesting to see what people had thought of, and it would be fun to argue the points.

That was six months ago. Since then, what's happened?

About 20 new topics are created every day, about two of which are worth reading. Regulars are dropping like flies, and some of the most respected of people on the forum don't come on any more.

In my opinion, the legacy of the FOG's have fallen. We do little more than chat pointlessly now. Even the stories, which have kept me here for the past six months, seem pointless these days.

What used to be a cozy forum, with people coming on and winning games, then leaving, with the handful of regulars who were always guaranteed to turn up every night, has turned into a mass of people, all chattering with no thought for entertainment, with only a good one or two topics every day.

As I join the likes of ssxpro, Wookiee Monster, FantasyMeister, Sniper, by leaving, I make this topic not so I can flatter myself with people telling me not to leave, but I make this topic because it's important that the FOG does not get any more worse than it already is. I hope that by showing people are not interested in the FOG these days, I hope that something can be done to bring the quality of the forums back to the greatness that it once was.

But... I shall not be handing in my resignation as a notable. Make what you want of this, but I have my reasons.

Tony, Sheepy, The Game, Rasta, Edgy, Turbo, Meka, Pb, er-no, Sniper, Venombyte, Rav, Ant, Darkness, Ali, Mouldy Cheese, De Sol, Dan_uk, M16, webmaster, FM, MWA, Goatboy, Wookiee, ssxpro, Shanksy, Reaper, Terry S, Iguana, Bonus, Fogmaster, Your Honour... I bid you all farewell. I hope you can bring to this forum what seems to be missing today.

Menthol???

Grix you dont know what state you left FOG in. It was menthol. But glad to see your back!

TOO RIGHT

Thanks for mentioning me Grix.

Anyway, I think that the Newbie restrictions imposed by Tony will go a long way to restoring the FOG to its former glory. I have only been here a month, but I two can see it has gone waaaayyyy down hill.

I think Tony should close off the signups for a while until the dust settles. I know he wants more members, but there's only room on the FOG for so many.

Oh my Grix was away for long!

I went out with mates for about 2 hours and he was back on posting!

aye aye aye aye aye aye

They always come back :D

You know what if a newbie pops up and posts once and leaves it becomes invalid to win same goes for just 1 batch of cheats from somebody we don't know!

You know, we used to complain that newbies would join, win, and leave. Now it seems the complaint is that they join, don't win, stay, and post too much.

They just can't win, can they? ;)

Cool, something I wrote convinced Grix to stay.

Well that's a first.

Oh, you'll be sorry alright Grix. Your cards marked.

*following this cryptic statement, RBS tries to swagger out of the door. Unfortuneatly he swaggers INTO the door*

:-D

I would like to firstly say thank you for all your support. Secondly, I would like to apolgise for any inconvience I may have caused. :D
