Damn,
Right,
Im getting quite sick of the amounts of posts that are quite literally the exact same thing but having one little idea changed.

What am i talking about?
Well the topics about
"The Fure of Gaming.....What does it hold for us?".
They are all basically the same and are all blatent GAD attempts.
I dont mind the odd couple as this forum title is actually the "Future of Gaming" but weve heard enough of them already.
Ive only been hear for about a month and im getting tired of them already,
I feel for those who have been here for longer and have heard it time and time and time again.

If they werent all the same thing over and over again then id have no problem with them but theres just no originality in them anymore.
All that it is, is "I think that were gonna have virtual reality where you walk around your house with big goggles and and interact with your surroundings"
or,
"Were gonna be wearing 3D glasses and were gonna be transported to another dimention"
or even,
"i think that we are going to have to jump into the TV set and whatever channel you put it on you have to play the role of whatever is on."

Most of this is just absolute rubbish and its mainly not all that stupid like what i just said but its all been touched upon before.

The ones doing this stuff are mostly newbies and just arrived's which have things in thier tags saying stuff like
"I want to win a GAD"

Well if you want to win a GAD that much i suggest you read what it says to win one in here.

It says that you have to come up with an original post that hasnt been touched upon before which deserves one and which is either informative or even funny.

So please,
If anyone is going to do these kinds of posts can we come up with something original and never said before or just dont do them again please.

phew,
Well im glad thats off my chest.

Im sure most of the regulars and notables and others who have been here a long time are sick of this too huh?

Stryke never did anything to me personally, but I've seen others suffer his wrath. Most people on the forums are very friendly, but it is a shame that a very few can make the place seem cliquey and unwelcoming.

he has no right to be like what he is like and i should hope he stops what he is doing,
newbies dont deserve to be treated the way he treats them.
nor should any other person on this board be treated and spoken to the way he does.

He thinks that because he is a Regular (or should I say, "Irregular?!") that everyone else will back him up, because he isn't a newbie. His only worry is the moderators catching him.

I don't know, maybe he has an inferiority complex, or maybe he's just not a very nice person

Precisely,
The only reason SOME people come onto this site and into these chat rooms is to try and win a GAD.
It just bugs the living daylights out of me.

I hate it when people stick that line at the end of a really long post too, because the moderators see it, and then instantly, they've lost their chance at winning GAD, because it gives the inpression that the only reason they typed it was to win GAD, and not to chat or have fun with other users.

Yes exactly,
Well ive only been here for a little while and at first i was abused by all those in higher positions but ive only just turned into a Regular and am starting to see some respect and am getting some recognition nowadays.

I just hate some of those who type a great amount of unoriginal GAD attempt stuff and at the end of it say,
"please give me a GAD, i deserve it"
and this really frustrates me because
1) these who do it are mostly newbies or JAT's and
2) they say they deserve a GAD and make it out like theyve done so much,

The ones who deserve this sorta stuff if those who are loyal and come up with the most original and inventive things that actually make you want to read it.

If somethings been done before its highly unlikely to be read and definately not going to be chosen for a GAD,
that is of course if everyone elses posts on that particular day are absolute rubbish.
