We seem to have lost the bulk of the posters? - esp. the Notables - they were worth all the effort of voting in huh? ... 'I'd come and post here even if there were no free games on offer' my arsz... you could practiacally hear them jumping overboard ;)

Although fortunatly we also seem to have lost the bulk of newbies too (yay!)...

As they stand, the forums do seem a little empty these days, seem to have lost their certain charm, allure, their muckking about in boredom, fighting over who got todays goodie GAD?

Or maybe I'm wrong?

Has anone else noticed a big change in the forums? - Is there anyone whose presence noticably is missed? - or am I just typing balls?

Yep, people should stop posting them, and then they're screwed!

I bet it was damn expensive to keep giving away free games to some random bums who post a topic on their chat forum. They [SR] don't really need the posts, the only thing that is needed is the Reviews because they should usually promote SR sales.

People still post, I dont think I have made a propper game related post since the demise of GAD1, but i have posted 'life' stuff and stories.

No I am not a greedy game-hungry git, I am human.

I have posted since GAD1 was stopped- mostly stories, though some Game-related stuff.

Since I've finally finished GCSEs I can start writing again. Remember, exams may also be a limiting factor, though I highly doubt it.

no of course they didn't, that's why this thread is about cheese and other kinds of dairy product.

GAD is still around, but for reviews, not for posts. So GAD1 and 3 are gone.

Without GAD there's not much to keep people posting, apart from a select few people who mostly hang out in Life anyway.
