The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
First of all, this post is aimed at know one in particular, and i dont want to cause anyone any offence. I know what im about to say will do me no favours, but i feel it needs to be said before this problem gets worse. The Sony forum is becoming a spammers heaven.
Yes, im afraid it is. Everyday i log on and find in the majority of the topics, just endless pages of chat. I admit, all the forums have this, some even worse, but the problem here is starting to get out of hand. In the past few weeks we have had 4 topics started that have no relevance to gaming at all, the Longest Thread is an exception, but there are others that need not be here.
The Forum may be near the top of the ratings column, but its there for the wrong reasons, its there because of the large amount of spam. It used to be there because there were many disccusions going on, and people replied to argue there point throughout the topic. Now though, after few replies, the post go way off the topic leading to spam.
Im not saying that we all do this to a huge extent, and im not saying i dont do it either, but there are people who do this way more than I, and others. Im not asking for it to be stopped either, its good we can come here and chat, and talk about games, but does nearly every topic have to go up this road? And come to be a chatting topic. All im asking is that can chat only take place in one or two topics, mainly the Longest Thread topic. We dont need to keep being told that GTA 3 will be the greatest game ever many times over. Yes i do this with Pro Evo soccer, but i try to always come up with reasons why to buy it and not ect.
There are some great people who come here to post, and all of them i like to think i get on with. Everyones opinions, in my mind are all valid, and i will take into account everything that is said by you all. But i get tired of reading streams of chat ect. Is it possible to keep this in one place?
I hope i have not offended anyone by writing what i feel, i just wanted people to start to understand what the forums used to be about, and still are, but not to the same extent. Its something i feel that needed to be said.
Thanks

I was actually talking about our spamming discussion....
There is abit of a problem are you refering to me? or my GTA 3 review that was just for the GAD entry but i thought i should post it here because this is the PS2 forum and it's a PS2 game and pluse i thought you guys would like it. If someone has a problem with anything i do then tell me straight up and ill try to change if it's a fair insult
Should we go to FOG with this and see what people there think?
I agree with the post, but this topic may turn into "you did it and so did you", whats done is done, and we all will try to cut down on the pointless 'chat' like topics :-)
i think the "hey asher you there" topic is also pointless if asher is writing in the forum the then Natbuc knows he is there any way
I think that the topic "xbox is coming" doesn't belong here that guy should have posted it in the xbox forum.
