The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
The Story Archive and the Game Ideas page is pretty spammed up.
Aren't they meant to be a collection of ideas rather than chatting places.
The regulars normally treat them right, and the more sensible newbies do but many newbies who don't know the site so well do mess them up a bit.
I'm thinking that they should probably go the same way as Prime and be made so that only Regulars/Notables can post.
I understand that some newbies do wish to use them properly but I'm sure they can make do by putting ideas and stories in FoG chat until they attain a purple name.
That's my thoughts on the situation.
What does everyone else think?

Okay I have the guestbook up and running on the site now. Anyone who is interested in voicing their opinion on the subject can leave a message saying what they think of the idea of a new forum. When enough people have replied we can show the URL to Tony or Ali and see what they think.
Anyways, heres that URL again:

I think that if people specify that they don't want any replies while they make "part 2" then others will leave the topic alone.
Other than that, if SR want to be really clever, they could make an option box next to the "post message" button so if they choose, the original poster will be the only one able to reply.
Ofcourse, it would have to be defaulted so it's "any one can reply" until changed.
It would also have to be to the right of or underneath the "post" button so when you press tab, it'll go to the "post" button rather than the "can they reply?" option.
I suppose SR are having a hage board meeting about it as we speak...

One the one hand, having replies to stories, even in the stories forum, is good as you know someone's read your stuff. On the other it means that the forum gets crowded with crap and it's hard to find the beginning and end of the story.
Also, if you are writing a long story in parts, having comments halfway through doesn't exactly help the reader to read through each part of the story.
