The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
1. When a person posts a topic and it starts falling down the list the person who posted the topic always replies to his own topic to get it back to the top again! Cheating little.....
2. When a well known regular or noteable creates a topic that is absolute poo, people joke and laugh about it and make out its really good and they usually get over 50 replies (hence the baseball cap topic I just read - no offence Grix)
3. When a newbie posts a topic of absolute irrelevance they get slaughtered by everyone and there is usually about 10 replies (all insults directed at the poster)
4. Everyone kisses Tony's backside! (Tony you're the best!)
5. All Gameaday prizes are awarded to topics that are about 10'000 words!
6. If you ask a question in someone elses topic, it doesnt get answered, if you create a topic asking your question, it always gets answered.
7. Everyone uses the FOG chat and no one uses the X-BOX or customer services. The PC, Internet one has risen due to the addition of Web Design... and Yes, it was me who suggested that! Now you can kiss my backside! :-P
8. There are people on here for about 18 hours a day (usually begins at about 7am and ends about 3am)
9. and no one reads all your post if it is really long so they never get to the end! So if you have read this far, I congratulate you!
---
Now....will number 3 occur?......
Not enough words for 5.......
Got along way until number 2.......
If no one replies in 30 minutes I may choose to go for number 1.........
Number 8 means someone should eventually read this topic.....
Number 4 means I have to go and do a bit of kissing!
Number 9?

So there.
No need to byte my head off, it's not really a world record attempt as I have already said it is just a place for people to talk about a the FOG.

Personally I hate it when people start new WLT, and I never post in them apart from to complain. We've already got a perfectly good WLT, and it's obvious the new one isn't going to get 15,000 posts that easily. Worst of all, it takes valuable posts away from the real WLT, where our effort should be.

I started a "world record thread attempt" the other day and it has only had about 80 posts. Regulars do topics on rubbish and they get over 100 in less than a day!
I mean c'mon a world record attempt compared to a useless topic!

"1. When a person posts a topic and it starts falling down the list the person who posted the topic always replies to his own topic to get it back to the top again! Cheating little....."
Yes. This happens a lot, and is known as "popping". They won't get any more of a chance at GAD, but it just means they can get more people to read it.
"2. When a well known regular or noteable creates a topic that is absolute poo, people joke and laugh about it and make out its really good and they usually get over 50 replies (hence the baseball cap topic I just read - no offence Grix)"
I'm actually going to defend this, by being big headed. The hat topic was a good discussion point. It was meant to be just a humourous way to keep us entertained.
"3. When a newbie posts a topic of absolute irrelevance they get slaughtered by everyone and there is usually about 10 replies (all insults directed at the poster)"
That's because the topic usually sucks.
"4. Everyone kisses Tony's backside! (Tony you're the best!)"
That's because he's great. ;0)
"5. All Gameaday prizes are awarded to topics that are about 10'000 words!"
If they were awarded to posts that were short, wouldn't that make it a bit too easy? More work goes into the longer posts, and therefore should be rewarded.
"6. If you ask a question in someone elses topic, it doesnt get answered, if you create a topic asking your question, it always gets answered."
That's because people LIKE TO STICK TO THE TOPIC.
"7. Everyone uses the FOG chat and no one uses the X-BOX or customer services. The PC, Internet one has risen due to the addition of Web Design... and Yes, it was me who suggested that! Now you can kiss my backside! :-P"
There are hardly any complaints, nobody likes the X-Box, and yes, it was your idea. Congratulations. Now, what exactly have you learnt again?
"8. There are people on here for about 18 hours a day (usually begins at about 7am and ends about 3am)"
Yup. We're a dedicated bunch.
"9. and no one reads all your post if it is really long so they never get to the end! So if you have read this far, I congratulate you!"
That's something to do with attention span, something lacking in most kids.
