In my opinion, Gameaday is losing it's greatness it once had!

We used to have plenty of great discussions about virtually all aspects of gaming and the pieces of writing from most members was quality!

Now when there's even the thought of a female member, you are all sad enough to go drooling!

The months before christmas we had excellent standards for prize winners, most of those who won deserved to, those who didn't deserve to cheated, so it was there own fault if there prize wasn't sent to them.

Now I find that there are too many forums! In the games forums, sometimes we only get one post per game out of the games which have messages posted recently. This shows a lack of interest by the users.

The cheats site has always been poor. Most of the cheats don't work and have never been tested, which shows they were just copied out of a magazine or another cheats site.

The reviews that have been awarded, have been reviews of brand new games! And although this is good for Special Reserve as when people read these reviews, they are very likely to buy that game, it's not fair for those who can't afford these games even though the prices are generally cheaper here.

The worst part of this deprovement of the site is the members! It's mostly the newbies who are winning again! People keep changing their names, people are allowed to make insulting comments as long as they don't use too strong language, and some members are just idiots!

I have not named any of the members who make me feel that the site's quality is degrading cos it's not fair on them, but I do feel that it's time things were changed!

I make it 18.5% not including this post, and any above it (or below it if you`ve arranged it that way).

One thing about the topic though. Each of my "aday" wins has been for a review, so I find your topic offensive.

I know that probably about 10% of all posts in this topic are mine, but others must feel the same way I do to make this topic as popular as it is in such a short time!

You are more likely to get an unbiased opinion on this forum, which is why it has been so sucessful... There are many different types of gamers, and loads of people who all have different view points, which makes very interesting reading.

I have to say, this is by far the best forum in the uk. Always good company, good subjects, good opinions, and good God, it's time to win another game. ;0)

If you're talking about a certina console I think it should be talked about in that consoles forum.

If you're comparing to other consoles then post it here!

In fact don't because this forum is for the FUTURE OF GAMING!

Unless of course you are posting about future consoles.

Otherwise posts in other forums get totally ignored no matter how good they are!

BTW you're all missing out on some cool GBA news in the GBA forum!

I can't agree with this.

This forum is for people who want to talk about all consoles (and their future).

The other forums are for people who want to discuss their particular interests.
