The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Well, I have to say that today is one tof the worst days I have ever experienced while on the FOG. The forums are in what I am going to call a slump and they don't deserve it. This is THE best forum on the net for talking about games and it has been ruined. Ruined by an overwheming amount of trollops being posted here.
Some may say I am blaming the influx of newbies....I am in a way, but they need sorting out. Unfortunately i only have one answer to the way that could happen. This is a "real regular forum". It was discussed a long time ago by many, a forum where only the real regulars could post. The people we felt fit to post there. I think that maybe now is the time to put this into action.
Newer members won't understand how bad the forums are right now, myself I have been here quite a long time now and I have seen it go from high to low...this is one of its few lows, but it has shown me the way forward. I wanted to know how many of you would agree with the new forum being made. However elitist this may seem I feel it will help the forums dramatically.
I don't know how many members it should be consisted of, but thats more or less up to who we all think worthy of a place there. Mind you, I shouldn't be thinking ahead, I should be thinking now, we need to persuade people its a worthwhile investment. Mainly the staff and I am sure many of the members who weren't around when this was mentioned a while back.
PLease take the time to think whether this would be a good idea....whether it would do anything to the tattered state this place is in right now. Also whether it will cause some of the most respected members and some of the notables to consider posting more as I have seen many people here less and less and I don't want it to carry on.

yeah, but this phase could go on for a while to come.
Variety is the spice of life.
Limit the people on the forum, and you limit the potential input that the boards can recieve.
What you have written is quite possibly the most arrogant, selfish and ill-thought out idea I have ever come across in my life.

The chat forum was sort of made for this spamming, keeping the spam out of prime.
Just ignor it, it happens every now and then.
When you aspire to regular status, you'll be able to enter the spam free prime forum and the problems will go.

Why are you basically saying "kill all the newbies" when the word newbie is firmly engraved under your own name? Is my monitor broken? Is this post all an attempt at irony? Will I ever stop asking questions? Find out same time next week.
