"A few changes round 'ere"

Hi there,

I'm about to make a few changes to the forums, namely renaming a few, streamlining a couple and getting rid of the dead wood. So, as of today, the forums will be as follows:

Future of Gaming (Chat)
Future of Gaming (Intelligent Discussion)

General Chit Chat (New)
Life and Everything (Intelligent Discussion)

PC Gaming
Internet, Computing and Freeola (the old Web Design forum)

Microsoft Xbox
Sony (Psone, PS2, PSP and PS3)
Nintendo (GameCube and GBA)

Sport
WWE Wrestling (*sigh*)

Movies, Music, TV and Books

Classic Games and Consoles

----------------------------

Much like some cruel Big Brother, this means the end of the Dreamcast forum (sob sob, off to the Classic Consoles forum you go) and the Long, Interesting and Amusing Stories forum (not like anyone ever used it anyway). You've got until Monday to say your goodbyes.

And now you've got a General Chit Chat forum, that means no more crap in the Life or Music forums, there's a general area for nonsensical babblings now so I suggest you use it. Whereas the Life forum can still be used for interesting posts like what monkey_man had for dinner or what Sheepy did last night, I suggest using the Chat forum for 'who likes this' or 'my mate dun this' type gibberish. Happy? This will also be like a meeting point, so your general chatty threads can go in here, as well as your longest threads etc. It's the crap forum for everything basically.

So, if anyone feels like having a huge benny at the changes then feel free, if you're really REALLY upset about something then post in here and I may just listen. And please, no 'we should have a forum for X, Y and Z' moaning because I've made up my mind. The forums above will, in my opinion, work better than the existing lot and there's less of them, which is a good thing. Hopefully I'll get round to making a few other changes soon too.

*awaits the inevitable ranting*

I think this is a really good idea

Excellent.

I'm particularly pleased that 'New Game Ideas' has been removed from the retro forum. No more idiots talking gibberish about shockingly bad ideas they've had!

Although some were okay.

Anyhow, I suspect the staff are going to have to be pretty harsh with regard to what can be posted in the FOG chat and life forums now that there's a special one just for the crap (sorry, general chat).

FOG Chat is a cross between two forums (or three if you count Life).

I thought we were getting rid of the dead wood, not creating more.

Chit Chat room, good idea...
But know there is a room for chit chat i cant see many people posting in the future of gameing room anymore...
I hate americans...

*claps*

Yay! Some changes!

I think you should have individual 'exclusive' clubs like JAT, n00b, Regular and Notable forums. GENIUS!!!!!!!

I use this and I'm a 'someone' who used it 'cos someone ranted that the stories shouldn't be in Life.

Oh well, I'm ready to put a virtual flower on it's virtual grave.

Wow the forums must be in a real state for the staff to do anything.

You have begun the process Snuggly...now...finish what you started...begin a purge of all the annoying (no not me please) users...

Stalin did it and look at how good Russia is now. Go on you know you want to...
