Bobb's back. Or she's been posting her little arse off in the general and off topic forums again over the last week anyway.
The population has been up and down over the years. I'd like to see it up, but not at the expense of having retards like alot of the poeple on
the other forum. I think a good start would be for the regulars to start more random threads and contribute to those threads, including any started by new guys. I'm a s guilty as anyone else on this, but I'm gonna try harder from now on - and i have already, I'm not just saying this.
Just my 2p: I'm not a fan of the new front page - i thought the old one was much better (also it's a pain to find to forum link on there), but I think the forum looks fantastic now. But a better selection of smiley's please! Also, I find myself looking here:
www.palgn.com.au for local news and also to post a little on their forum (that's forum's also attracted Phelan from
the other place, so it's not just me). Palgn's a good model, IMO, of a small independant games site. It too had a problem with the forums when i first went there in early 2006, but opposite from ours in that it had too many reprobates and wasn't modded enough, but they've managed to reign it in a little now. My maon with it is that it's too slow moving and they talk about bogan stuff too much. But the enws section is great.
I post regularly on another forum (
www.forums.tentonhammer.com) which is an MMO site so no danger for pulling me away from GS, but I used to use links from GS when posting in the off topci forum about non MMO games, but since the news section here slowed down I haven't as much, but that would have sent some traffic this way. I also have the GS address as my saying on Xbox live..... any chance of a tshirt?
