GAD1 is gone and everyone is upset - and rightly so. For many people that free game was there only source of gaming pleasure and for many it got them games which they otherwise wouldn't have played. But did the games really matter? Not to me they didn't.

I can't say that I joined Special Reserve just to be a part of a community - the total opposite infact. All i wanted was to get a quick game or two and stop. As I began to write I started to feel part of a community and thus SR dragged me in.

Now I spend more time on these forums that i do on games - I talk about games more than I actually play them, which is very ironic - I joined to get more gaming pleasure and thanks to joining I play less.

The fact of the matter is that I enjoy these forums more than i do most games - I enjoy the feel of the forums and it's members, and so do most other people that I talk to.

It just shows that people that left are sad, materialistic types who don't deserve to have ever graced these forums.

I've spent 100's of hours here and for it only have 2 games to my name (I gave another one to a mate). If I was ever going to leave due to lack of GAD's, i would have a long time ago.

What was the point of this post?

Who Knows?

You've been here for 32 days, if it was the old GAD system, it would usually take someone about 32 days to get used to what is accepted on the forums. As for winning a GAD, i won my first "proper" GAD after about 120 days or so.

I leave for a week and everything goes wrong. I was apparently the glue that was holding this place together. Or something.
