"Fog Bridge"

As much as this forum has grown, it seems to have become much less about Gaming more as a semi-social centre for chatting (and starting Console Wars toics)

Having, this morning, re-noticed the 'fog bridge' link earlier today, posted a reply in FOG Prime (about 11:30ish) and just noticed that noone else has been to the forum at all since.

FOG prime used to be the centre of activity for the site, with, by and large, the 'longest thread record attempt' being used for the general chatter...

I'm not really compaining about anything (just rambling really) since I've activly forgotten about the forum myslelf for quite some time now...

Just wondering how other people view the site? ... If you write a longer post/GAD attempt do you prefer to stick in in the more specific console forums, or in chat, knowing it will be seen by the largest number of people? Do you have nothing your really interested in really discussing about computers? or maybe you just enjoy comming on the site for a quick chat?

If I post a topic I want people to see and get an opinion or comment on I will post in in FOG chat. I have only posted a few times in prime when I am doing a totally game related topic.

lol... Wasnt the problem with MIST that everyone just kept on posting in FOG?

I seem to remeber MIST was were the idea of the Top Trump FOG cards came from?

*Tumbleweed rolls by...*

You called?

I posted one of the first topics on MIST.

I WANT MIST BACK :P

I like Prime now it's less cluttered, and although there are some obvious 'GAD attempt' posts there, there are also some really good thought provoking posts too.

Just as I think all the gaming topics have been exhausted, someone comes up with another angle on some idea. It's also one of those forums that can be busy one minute and like a ghost town the next, but that seems to be the nature of a longer topic based forum.

Chat is really good for general chatter, and not just about games, plus the other forums cover the longer elements of other topics such as sports, movies or life.

I look at FOG chat as the hub of these forums, linking Gaming, Life, Sport, Console formats, movies etc but in small doses. This allows people to interact more, similar to the instant message style of chatting and it allows newbies time to get used to the feel of the forums (and learn that some spam is bad spam!).

Through the years I've been here the forums have changed quite considerably, they seem to have changed for the better too, although I know a lot of people miss the MIST forum. SR have it just right now and I'm happy to say I'll stay around for a long time to come.

Its the history.

I would go back to Prime but sadly nobody else would follow.

I posted a topic yesterday, only one reply.

Explains it all really.

If I'm in a serios gaming mood, I go there. However, I tend to post gaming topics in relevant console forums, as they get more replies.

Most people come here for a chat, if they want to talk serious, then they go to Prime, but there just isn't enough people there. That's for sure

I post them in Fog Prime if they are about gaming in geneal, or is, say, I do something about Nintendo, i'll stick it in the Nintendo forum, regardless of how many people read it.
