There has been a lot of threads on the current state the 'PS2' forum has been in, but nothing has changed. There are un countable topics on The Getaway, and Vice City, and tips for games! They should go to Uk.hints.com or something. Also newbies reply to these in such a way that they have to reply again and again, just to get there word count up.
It's driving me crazy, newbies have taken over, iused to hang out here, but now i'm in FOG and the Ninty forum. Please:

STOP SPAMMING!

Exactly, write a topic on this now, title it:

The ropes Of The Forums

I'll be on every newbies mind, from the moment they sign in, to the moment they are abused by the phone bill payer, and thrown out of their small n00bified chairs.

Wipes tear from eye*

Sorry, got a bit carried away.

I still feel like a newbie! And I must've been lucky, I wasn't abused! Although I didn't spam or start topics full of poop :)

I'm not acutally sure if Callum was intentionally spamming, or whether he just didn't realise what these forums were for. I think he just thought it was a place where you just post anything you feel like and people will accept you.

Saying that, i definately don't welcome people like him and they should stay as well away from these forums as possible. If he does come back as someone else then on behalf of everyone here, this is a note to him:

Before you post anything, take a look around. See what others have posted, and attempt to meet the standards of people like J-42, Odin etc. As long as you can use this place properly, people will welcome you...

Come on, not all newbies are like that. If you think all we do is **** around then take a look at my Mafia review. It took me ages.

I also always make sure i have correct spelling in my posts and i never just spam, spam, spam.

Take a look at my older posts (I used to be Rogiboy, but then thought it was a bit too similar to 'Mattyboy'), you'll see that i always make the effort to post things that actually say something useful rather than mindless tripe other users post.

Maybe, its a good idea but many noobs just **** around (pardon the language)... Write blank reviews or stupid topics! They need help, they should look on the site for it or ask, but not in twenty different forums with >>>>>>>>>>>>>Help<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< as the topic...

If they need help, read this topic!
