We are planning to change the structure of UKchatforums.com over the next few weeks. It is obvious that the Open Forums are more busy and lively than the Game Forums at the moment and we will be replacing the Game Forums with a new Game Comments layout.

Instead of going to the Game Forums to discuss a specific game, you will be able to search for a particular product (games or hardware) in our database using the Search Box in the blue strip above. Here there will be a Comment link (like the existing review link).

You can then comment and discuss the game in this layout, which has the advantage of bringing it together with our customer reviews, screenshots, release date information etc.

This will mean that the Game Forums will eventually be removed from Ukchatforums.co.uk as they are replaced by the Comments layout (with the exception of the popular WWF Forum which will become an Open Forum).

We will soon let people know that the Game Forums will be replaced every time they post a message in the Game Forums, after a while you will not be able to post there anymore, only read existing posts. Finally, the Game Forums (except the WWF Forum) will be removed.

When the Game Forums are removed your Stats (post/word counts) will not be affected.

Of course you will still be able to discuss games and genres in the Open Forums as usual (e.g. in the Nintendo Forum) but I believe that the new Product Comments system will be a significant enhancement to our sites.

Thank you,

Loki.

Ohhh TBN you .... :o)

well I have one thinking mind and when andy is on or shocky, there are 3!!! Sony forum? PAH! Every topic is like "Over in the n64 forum they say that the PSX is gay"

Hmm :o)

I think that our n64 forum is going downhill because of a massive rush of newbies. Posting silly things in there. Tut-edy tut

HA! They don't discuss anything there! Discussion requires at least 2 thinking minds!

Thanks for making WWF Forum an Open forum and not getting rid of it.
