"Right, lets try and improve the quality of topics on FOG....."

Okay, after hearing that Grix is now leaving, I think it's time we improve thw forums.

I have a few ideas:
We should visit Prime Topics more.

On this forum, try and keed the chat mostly about gaming, and try not to post too many new topics...

Make topics longer than 2 sentences, and don't make topics about 'becoming a regular', or 'Why hasn't my status changed?' etc.

I would like to hear more ideas, if you have any, post them here.

Thanks for reading, a staying Ant.

Your right - over the last weeks this forum has become the Newbies V. Regulars forum!

This won't help, we need our own forum, a forum where only the named and select few can post in, a forum where only the named and select few can create topics in, others can read but can not reply.

and where is Tony when you need him.

as i said in grix's topic there should be a WOF(watcher or forum) to look over the topics like a copper or something!

:)

I agree, FOG Chat needs to go.

I agree we should have moderators which can delete any posts they think include: Chatter, if the topic's been done before etc.

Stricter rules, I like that. Some good points here, Edgy.

Yeah, c'mon. I think we should make a proper rules list, with things like 1. Only post topics that are to do with gaming. 2.Only post topics that are decent and of high quality, no 'lets choose a HON', which has been listed today 4 times. You can be the boss of whats good quality and not, but if you write something and post it and it isn't good quality we will hate you. Or something like that. And dont start new threads, like 6 or 7 times a day which state utter nonsense.

We have to get the FOG forums back up to good qualty.

Make some of the more experienced members moderators of certain forums (e.g. Ant, me :), sheepy, and anyone else who is still here, who will be able to help keep the forums to what they're supposed to be!

Maybe make the rules stricter so that anything to do with past gaming goes in the history of gaming forum (bring it back!), anything to do with Sega goes in that forum, anything to do with the future of more than one games company or a third party goes in the FOG-Prime topics forum.

Get rid of FOG-Chat! That needs to go! If you want a chat forum make sure it doesn't say FOG before it because FOG has a reputation of being a quality forum!

These are some of the first steps that need to be taken!
