It's my impression that there are too many forums. Lately I've been posting in the FOG Chat and also in the Life and the Universe forum. I really prefer to have one favourite forum for my cryptic and biased opinions.

Does anybody have a view on this?

Loose the Xbox forum and Sony forum, useless wastes of space they be :D

Nah I'd get rid of the Dreamcast, Stories and game ideas forums. No one ever really uses them.

I think Snuggly means that they will go to the Archive forums.

If you haven't been there already, go there now and learn about the past of FOG. Oh, and visit the archive story forum too.

Sniper could have his own forum to learn how to spell, write and type properly...

:D

I think the GTA: VC forum is good in terms of not flooding the sony forum, however, theres always going to be new and 'big' games coming out like the getaway for instance and will you do another forum for this? I think a 'latest releases' forum would be much better, however - refraining it from spam and making it into another fog chat is the challenge. the long amusing stories, retro gaming etc are also being use very subtly and should be got rid of if people agree.

Thats a good idea, but where would you put books? too be honest though, not a lot of people talk about books, I guess people could just talk about that in life.

Just wondering, if and when the Vice City forum is closed, are all those posts going to be pumped back into the Sony Forum? I mean, thats a hell of alot of crap and needless posts to be shipped over there.

Any chance of when that forum does die....that it really does die so there arent a 100 posts about it again in there.?
