The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
I've just had a thought. Don't worry, I'm trained to have them, and I was sitting down at the time.
Now basically, all I want to say is this:
Before you click that magic POST THIS MESSAGE button, THINK. Are you posting in the right forum?
If it's music or film related, why post in chat? "Because more people will look here" you'll probably whine back at me.
Bollards.
Don't think that people only look at one forum, because they don't.
If you're writing something on gaming, don't post it in here. If it's a console specific post, stick it in the relevant forum. If it's about gaming generally, put it in Prime.
I think this forum needs it's name to be changed.
In my view, this forum has nothing to do with gaming. It's just general chat. Where I can post stuff about Bashing The Bishop, and Feeling My Genitals, and where Goaty can Hit People Wiv Fase.
Just think about what your post is about, and put it in the relevant place. That's all I'm asking.
Cheers.

How about prawn balls?
True, topics about pork balls don't really quality for this forum.
Anyway, I usually try and relate my topics to gaming in one way or another.
Failing most of the time.

I wish you wouldn't speak like that. Don't put yourself down! And secondly, if people were half decent, they could at least give you a second chance to see if you've changed. I've been in that boat before, and most people on here are rather forgiving, I must say, which is a credit to these forums. Hedgehog - get on MSN and talk to me!

Be grateful that your topics GET that many replies. Mine are normally filled with "Well copied Shaneo" and the such like. If anything, the most replies I get are just 10 or 11. Gah well! I don't want to sound biased in saying this, but I would think that Notables get more reads than JATs and Newbies especially, but Regulars also (unless they're well respected). I'm off to prove the point and write a kick-ass topic.

Craw, fair point.
But going back to what I said before, I feel that a lot of quality threads are lost in chat simply because there's too many threads, and no one can read through the whole lot.
The number of threads would be reduced if things went in the right place.
Anyway, this is only a suggestion. I'm not saying "I'm right! Do as I say!" or anything like that. I'm just pointing the fact that some stuff is being put in the wrong place.

I've already posted something similar in there, actually, for the attention of the staff.
This is for the attention of us lot, so it seemed a good move to stick it in here where most people will see it. And I know I'm using the very argument that I defended against in the initial post (if you see what I mean), but to start off with, we need as many people to read this as possible.

I do think more people generally hang out here, so if there's something people desparately want a reply to they end up posting it in here.
Problem is that for every one decent reply in chat you get about 50 bunk ones... Replies may be thin on the ground in other forums but they usually have something constructive to say.

So this should go in the "Customer Service/Site Suggestions" forum then?
