"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.

You are right, it only takes a few people to promise to try their best to help return the brilliance of teh FOG back to it's rightful owners.

Okay, I will start.

I promise that I will try my best to help out, you can count on me to rescue the Future Of Gaming forum, but I am going to need some backup. The likes of you, sheepy, and all the other true regulars can all improve the FOG, and I am sure once Grix sees what we have achieved maybe he will return.

Bye grix... (:)

Hey you know we have too many of these topics already..

don't leave grix....you could be like WOF (watcher of forum) or something like that!!

:)

HEY WTF!
That means i have to put up with this.... grrrr....
never mind i don't even spend that long on this site i've got clan work all week next week.

can someone please tell me what tony's username is!?

So, Grix is gone.

(Does this mean you can copy the brain talking idea without infringing copyright?)

No!

(Why not?)

Show some respect for the dead, man!

(Dead?)

Well... you know what I mean.

(Okay, if you can't talk to your brain what can you do from this then? Talk to your foot?)

Yeah, I could actually. How's things, foot?

That good eh?

...

You know, I think this one has a rather limited scope. Perhaps I'll leave it actually.

No, that just wouldn't be funny.

M16 is you leave then we would have lost a battle that we never entered, my idea is the only real way out of this as nobody has the power to delete topics...

...we need Tony here NOW!!!

let me just use your name for the moment and say er-no!

Calm down Edgy. I wrote that in the Pokemon section, not in the FOG section. I also have valid reasons to my claims.
