Now don't get me wrong but everyone seems to be having a problem with whats going on about here. But I don't really think that it is anyone's fault, look at all of the other games sites around, there is no FOG being discussed anywhere at the moment as they industry is in it's traditional lull. I have heard endless comments being made about how the Forum being better 5-6 months ag, but if you look at your calender, that was just after Christmas, one of the busiest time on the Gaming calender.

I just think that the FOG has been hit by the same downturn in news which happens every year at this time, just give it a couple of months and be amazed at what happens, when the news and the stories begin to unfold around the launch of two major consoles and the sprint to sell before christmas, then we will have something decent to discuss, until then there isn't much we can do.

(Inspired by Grix' post on leaving the FOG!!)

The N64 and PSX didn't have much of the spotlight but the GC and GBA is interesting enough and with the XBOX and PS2(with new games) on show it must have been Da Bomb

I take it you didn't read mine then?

Anyway, how can anyone say E3 was boring? There was plenty on show, no matter which console you intend to buy, or already have.

I really don't think that the problem is with a lack of things to discuss, more that those that don't care to discuss gaming anymore are still here, and they just kill threads. Those that do want to discuss it get sick of this, and go elsewhere.

I don't put the blame solely on the shoulders of the newbies, but of the regulars too.
