I've had enough (i'd do that in caps but it makes your writing sound really loud and stupid - like Vottanator ;-))
Basically, I'd like to recruit some people to help put more PS2 into the forum.
Note: This is nothing like the Cronies, this has a point and it's not sperating people into different groups.
To be in the project, you need to be:
1. A regular to the forum. It doesn't matter if your a newbie, but if you only come on once a fortnight your useless.
2. You need a bit of knowledge about PS2
3. A bit of originality or a sense of what topics will be popular.
If you have all of those, Say so and I will take your names down.
You will be expected to:
1. Produce at least one good PS2 Topic a week. Humourous or otherwise. It can be longg enough to qualify as GAD standards, it can be a one-liner, but make it interesting.
And so it begins...

Sounds like another "Ban Squad" to me.
The whole thing about these forums is people write posts and then chat about them. If they aren't about PS2 then just ignore them.
It's not hard....

Oooooooh.....I'VE HAD ENOUGH!! I'm going to lock myself in my room now and listen to really LOUD music! Yes, LOUD!! :-D
Ahem.....anyway, Cipro - I agree. But surely instead of trying to turn a thread around by talking about gaming, it would be better to just let the thread drop and not reply at all. The people who write these topics are just looking for people to get annoyed anyway. They're hoping people will argue with them, and they're hoping for people to reply saying "Don't reply to this and let it drop" and the likes because they know they've gotten to them.
If you click on the topic and it turns out to be crap, then just click back.
And in my opinion, this forum is never gonna turn around. Just not possible. Hell, even the DVD forum (the most disciplined of all the forums :-D) is starting to fall apart now. And that is bad!

Ah yes, but like it's been mentioned down the page, if thease people want to annoy everyone, then they will keep their own thread alive by replying to it. I don't think there is a real solution here, there's always going topics like the ones mentioned, I think it's just dealing with them that's the problem.

True, but if people can control themselves and not reply to the topic at all, then the writer of it will get bored.
Then, when we have restored the quality of the forum, we can ruin it again by starting topics like "WE WON!!! WOOOO!!!!" :-D

You can count me in. I can right at least one good topic a week and I'm sure it would be good, but I think that it's all the spam, that people write. I think that is what has given the PS2 forum a bad reputation...
im just thinking, how is writing one good topic a week going to stop the spamming and silly topics?
we already have a few good topics a week, but we also have a few uneccessary topics a week.

True. But it might give the foum a better reputation amoungst other forums. It could help.
I think we should just have normal conversations, just like now, except, make them more based on the PS2.
Discussions these days don't really have much to do with the PS2, and instead of giving a few people the chance to make one GAD worthy topic a week, I think we should get back to talking about what we're meant to be talking about on this forum./

If you look at the FOG chat all that is in there is spam well nearly all of it is and it gets replys so it's not just this forum it's in there aswell.

Yeah, but FOG (Chat) is the place to spam on the forums.
This is an actual forum built for the purpose of talking about Sony - PS1 and PS2.
