I know this is a bit ironic to say this, but look at the forum now and you can see plainly why it's failing.

SO many new topics! And what's funnier, is all of them are saying the same things!

I have made a new topic to put this across, because it seems to be the only way of communicating with you all.

If you have something to say, put it in a topic that is talking about it. Please don't limit the things to one view a topic, it's utterly pointless.

I believe Tony has stopped newbies from creating topics on the prime topics, and that may possibly be the greatest thing he's done on the forums, even beyond gameaday. By stopping the millions of stupid topics being created for no reason, we can finally get down to discussion again on the prime topics.

Your views please.

In principal, the following idea speaks alot of sense... but in reality, even before the class syaytem, the regulars knew who each other were, and who the newbies were, and the exact same thing happened.

The only difference now is that there are loads more newbies than before in the history of GAD... like when the PSX came out- although it opened many people's eyes to gaming, it also allowed idiots to release poor game (ie post poor topics)

It is of course possible that we might be able to set a new topic limit for each person.

That's another thought that I will be considering.

I agree, this is the main problem.

And there's only one way of getting rid of it...

BAN GAME!!
