"Remember the "Open Forums""

I return to the site after a year or so away, to find that ordinary "General Chat" has taken over from beloved FOG Chat.

Blah.

Here's a competition (no prizes).

Q1. How many years out of date is this paragraph (below) and where did I get it from?

One new "Notable" is elected every three months, in respect of their contribution to making the Future of Gaming forum (in the Open Forums) a very special place.

Q2. What's an "Open Forum"?

Nice to see that things are kept so up to date.

Wohoo! My game's been snet!

snet?

sent.

You make me sad by telling me it won't be here before Christmas, then post it to me...

Don't confuse me. It makes my brain hurt. :(

Cockermouth.

Hmmmmm.

Come to Essex. Whoooooo!

Who comes up with these names? The north isn't TOO bad, but can you actually look at a map of Britain without laughing out loud at all the villages/towns/areas? Madness.

No, it's just south of London. It's just got a stupid name because of a river.

Maybe you should all move to Sawbridgeworth.

Is that where Toad lives?

I'm guessing Cumbria is right out...?
