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?

but then we wouldn't get those spammers in FOG chat, and instead of creating new threads to ask small questions, or for questions totally unrelated to any threads etc
Plus, we don't have everyone's MSN addy's

In the world TBH. Just has that 'cool' factor to it cos it has
violence, adult theme to it..... thats why ppl think its SO
different.
Zelda was probably better than this but did it get a forum ?
Just cos didnt have a violent, adult theme doesnt make it rubbish to
the dumb public, no offence but thats my view of the modern man who
doesnt know much about games.
PS: For gods sake wish this had a edit feature!

I think Sheepy should have his own forum.

He bores me in this one.

no need for a GTA VC forum not like its the most original, amazing game
in the world TBH. Just has that 'cool' factor to it cos it has
violence, adult theme to it..... thats why ppl think its SO different.

I think that could spoil SR a little, because then you'll get totally crazy spammers, and there's probably a few other downsides, but I just can't think of em' :-D

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
