this is the chat forum, Special Reserve named it FOG Chat so should expect non gaming topics to appear.

What the heck does bullying have to do with "The Future Of Gaming" anyway?

Amen, sister!

My "theory" is that people only copy the decent topics (ie. Edgy's "I was bullied" topic), because they know it's a good one and they're trying to get some credit, and also to get noticed. I shouldn't admit this publicly, but I have done so on numerous occasions. Heh heh heh.

No offence to all those people copying my topic, but surely you could've posted them as replies as nearly everyone else has!

That's one of the reasons that topic is there!

Instead of clogging up the forums, with loads of seperate topics, leaving the original to go to waste.

If they were all in the same place, people would be more likely to read them as they're together and all about the same subject.

for those who don't want to read topics (including mine) about bullying, I'm sure you're getting fed up now.

I understand people want to post their advice and their own stories, but please follow suit of other members and do it all in teh same topic!

Theory 1:

Half-term just finished and a lot of people are back at school getting bullied

Theory 2:

Someone saw the word 'bully' in a post topic and thought "Aha! I can write a topic about bullying."

Theory 3:

Everyone is sick to death of Grix Thraves pushing people about and in general bullying everyone. And yet noone ever sees him do it.

Theory 4:

The Nintys are bored. The gap between the N64 dying and the Gamecube's launch is too long. This was done purposefully by Nintendo so that Nintys would cause havoc with the Sonyphiles in forums.

Theory 5:

Sniper.

Grix told Edgy to do some personal posts the other day after they had an arguement.
