Hi I am not meaning to be moany or anything but I would like to raise the issue once again..
As many of you have noticed the forums have been going downhill in the past few months. When I have come on here for the first time in late June 2001, the forums were full of great topics that were worth replying to and other would also reply to your topics with will.
But in the past few months these forums started filling with spam and other pointless threads. I am not aiming this at anyone in particular but many posters did decide to leave the forums for a while to see what they will be like once they get back....
Just few months ago, I really felt like replying to almost every topic because there were so many interesting points raised by many people but now this is just getting silly...
If I am to write a topic about the history of gaming and mention MGS2 in it somewhere what kind of replies am I going to get?? "Ah MGS 2 is cool, I am gonna order that..".
I am sure many of you think the same and I urge some action to be taken against the pointless topic. Just look in our Sony forum for instance...
Anyway I hope you all have a happy new year and good night....

Could this be because a lot of them are off school at the moment? Things should return to normal as of Monday when term starts again!:-)

Arghh... You can't win in here.. I got told off for posting a reply that was longer then 1 word...
http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/display_messages.php? threadid=28942&forumid=416
I though it was a good reply my self, especially as it provoked a response as it did...
OK, so the idea was 1 word replys, but why? What's the point? I can think of several single words to describe some of the topics in these forums, but instead I offer eductaed, half decent replies, the kind of thing that goes with discussion... the kind of thing you see in the Web Forum...
Spam irritates me, not because of the pointlessness about it, but why is it that people waste their energy trying to be funny?
I'm going back to float around the Web forum where the intellegent people are...

Yeah but it is always empty now. Well not empty but not as brimming with life as it used to be.

You have a point here, I have been around about a month, and certainly in the last 2 weeks it has gone downhill.
There are certainly some threads which are pointless, but which get lots of replies.
I have written a few serious gaming threads which nobody really commented upon...
*goes to sob quietly in corner*
I think we should be focusing on quality, not quantity. Hey, is this forum simply an extension of the console wars?

I understand where you are coming from. The sony forum is a complete joke now.
My advice to you is to spend more time in Fog prime. Your topics would be much more suited(and appreciated) in there, and you will always get a decent reply from the regulars.
