The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Hello.
In this passage, I will to refer to many things, this is what they mean.
"Regulars" - These kind hearted people come onto your website, and have fun talking to eachother, and post some great topics about games. Examples of these are: Ant, Elitesniper, Dan, Fogmaster, Fantasymeister. These people hardly win games, compared to the amount of work they do.
"We" - This also refers to the "regulars".
"Newbies" - These are the people that come on here SOLELY to win games, 95% of these will write one thing, steal a game from you, and then leave. The remaining 5% will stay after winning a game. These people do less work, and win more games.
"Staff" - This refers to anyone that works at Special Reserve.
We are getting very tired, and agitated at the fact that people come on here and win games, and never come back here again. This portrays the feeling of the forum simply being "used". We do not treat this forum like the 95% of newbies do. I.E. We do not have one night stands.
We care about the forum, and we enjoy returning to it, to post more things about games, and to talk to eachother. It is a social gathering as well as a games forum.
The staff, I believe, fail to see that we put much more effort and work into the site than the 95% of newbies, and also fail to realise that the newbies put no effort into maintaining their status in the forum.
Therefore, I propose this compremise. The newbies are unable to win, UNLESS they post at least 10 decent posts, which all refer to the name of the forum.
I have no say on the status of the reviews. I am happy that people can win with one review. I am unhappy with the fact that we put more time into the site than they do, but I understand that reviews have a better chance of winning a game.
However, it seems that newbies have a better chance than we do of winning a game. It also seems that whoever chooses gameaday fails to fully take in what has been written, and will ignore it if they have won before.
To summarise: We are unhappy with amount of newbies which simply leave after winning; we want newbies to post 10 decent topics before winning, to make the forum more effienent; and we want to have the same chance as winning as the newbies, which will also encourage more people to stay.
Thank you for reading. Any comments from the regulars will be welcomed.

Grix, why are you complaining?
You always seem to be on the winners list!
Although I do see your point!
However it's sometimes hard to think of 10 original posts!
I don't think people should be able to win by submitting cheats though! I think letting people submit cheats is a good idea, but new cheats are printed in mags all the time and it's a simple cut and paste job! It's very rare that you get cheats actually found out or even created by the sender! I've only ever created 2 cheats and they were for War Of The Worlds for PC and should be on the SR database right now....

I think on the first couple of days they were, er Badgering him!
I just re-read your message... on the first couple of days they started it? What was your name back then?
Didn't you read? I said comments from the REGULARS would be welcomed...
;0)
Only kidding. This is quite an old topic, back in the days where I actually cared about winning. All I care about now, is the quality of writing on the forums. I really don't like stupid little kids coming on and filling the topics up with awfully writen rubbish, and I expect a lot of people agree with me.
However, I have nothing agaisnt you so far Badger, you seem like you actually have a brain, so I respect you for that.

It is just a competition to get more people on SR, it helped me get on here, on the first couple of days they were doing it! you shouldnt be so selfish and greedy, because it is all in the spirit of having fun chatting to people who love games as much as you. When you say they are 'stealing' your games? your games??????? they cannot simply give out prizes to you and 4 other people everyday, would that be fair?
Yes, I agree, I posted a long and thought over topic on the day he won and that didn't annoy me because his was also a good topic but then he left, that was annoying! He will probably come back in a month to get another game as well!
I didn't particularly like him when he was here, I prefered it when he left.
Insane_Bartender was one of these people that Grix hates, he won a game, then left!
