The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Might leave the forums at some point soon.
I'm slowly tiring of the preposterous number of idiots (mostly fanboys) on this forums.
There is very little worthwhile conversation, and what little there is is almost always restricted to the Life forum. Everything else is mindless nonsense, and any attempt to think otherwise is sheer witless buffoonery.
People who can't spell to save thier souls have the gall to pick me up on typos.
I'll still be a Special Reserve customer, and might turn up on occaision to vent about the service (which is usually fine anyway), but after New Year, I doubt you'll see much of me.

So what you are saying is that I don't count?

I wait for the day when more people realise that NOT replying to the stupid topics makes them drop quicker.
Why can't everyone ignore them, then those that start them will quickly get bored and find others to annoy.

That is a great idea :)
*Claps to pb*
Checks my Stats, Phew i've been here 450 days
Anyway, We swap one of the dead forums that are always at the bottom of the list like the stories forum! for this idea :)
It'll be a popular forum and nearly spam free. Surely everyone would be happy then?

Using both those ideas then, how about forums that you could only post in if you'd stayed longer than, say, 400 days or were given permission by staff? Something like that could work for a small number of forums, thereby not excluding those newbies from everything. After all, we were all new once (though, not in the current status sense).

Because we all come back eventually. Leave and return for pretty much the same reasons as you.
As for Planetarion, yes, a lot of us left that too. I don't think that the same reasons apply here...

And those are the ones you'll come back for.
Yes, the countless scores of idiots are tiring, but after a break you'll be more interested in what the decent writers have to say, and you'll find it easier to ignore the punks.

They're a pain, and I've stopped using this place for months at a time because of it, but when you come back, there's always plenty of interesting stuff to catch up on and you won't need to sift through the crap.
BTW, before you go, I've replied to your last post in that "God" topic in the Life forum. :-)
