The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
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.

But is it okay to use swear words in a different context. Like saying "i think it is a pi$$take that Sony...."
:D tony hates asterix. S***.
Begins with a B end with *&(^( SNIPER???
Ah *****************
Well just have to put in place a system where people who think Notables are abusing their powers can complain. Im sure Ali, and Tony wouldnt complain if a notable removed comments like
Playstation is Sh!te from the Forums.
Besides which the Notables wont abuse their powers, otherwise they would get demoted.

At least that ain't asterix.
You cant give that sort of power out can you? surely it will be abused and people could get really pi$$ed off.

This is the sort of unconstructive comment that has to be stopped on the forums
These sort of comments will mean that topics are possibly ignored, and will stop people writing good posts.
I think if Notables like Sniper were allowed to remove comments like this, it would help to clean up the Forums and make them great again :-)

Lol! at comment about swapping your console for two pieces of Sh!te!
Tony gives out too many Extra gameaday's, we will help even if it won't win us anything!
