Edgy has accused notables of bullying newbies.

I want names of notables, and I want proof, backing these statements up.

If I don't get these, I am going to work my backside off getting you banned. You do NOT accuse people of doing things they haven't done, wherever you are on Earth.

That happens a lot, it's happened to me before now, no one replid then once it won I recieved about 10 consecutive replies.

Some topics however are jsut hard to reply to if you have nothing to add or put over your view on.

I'm sorry but i used to think it was the Notables that used to say "the forums aren't as good as they were, Ant and Grix i think but don't quote me on that, i've been here a hell of a long time and the forums have never changed for me bar the crummy notable system... maybe i brought about the change?

Actually console war posts are good, they are interesting but its the who is the best? and then list the good and bad points of each console and then ending with i conclude they all have their strengths and weaknesses... well duh! The Anti-Christ a joke in a way was a huge post slanting the PS2... but it was good, funny and damn well popular!

Really, there's no need. There's no hidden extras you get when you become a regular... it's just a name.

Status is nothing to do with it.

Here's a few tips... or at least, how I seem to win.

1) Don't just pick a subject. Think about gaming, and think about the things that make you love it so much... Then, write what you feel about that.

2) Don't write to impress the judges, write to express your feelings, and make sure you put down everything you think.

3) This is important too: Make sure it's laid out properly. This comes with time more than anything, and experience... but paragraphs are REALLY important. Do your best to make sure you don't use "txt speek" as well... that means, write words fully, it makes it much easier to read.

4) REPLY TO IT! This is also very important... if you write a topic, come back to it, keep interest in it. Popularity has a lot to do with winning, as a topic that sparks interest in others will be sure to win.

Good luck dude, it's not that hard if you just write because you want to, not because you want a game.

How do you win game a day for the chat forum and do you have a better chance of winning if you are a regular or notable?
