Retro Gamer forum

It will be good to get the Off Topic section back and a 'no politics/religion' policy is obviously needed here now. I suppose dealing with a PLC has just added to the pressures of running the mag, let alone running and moderating a forum. Still, hopefully within a few weeks we will all be happily ta...

Hooray! Looks like it is all turning good for you guys then.

The Canteen has always been there. I suggest off topic discussions happen over there for now. Link now in my sig just in case.

No response in this thread from anyone to do with FUTURE publishing. Surely the export market is a HUGE part of the mags growth - hence the fact you guys n gals stop us getting a Christmas cover! There should be some form of comfort from a Future employee to publicly state something is being done ab...

Isn't it funny that we can talk about SH!T but not talk politics with the threat of a ban if we do so.

My time here may be close to the end.

Have you got permission to post this then? It contravenes part 5 of the AUP - " No Commercial Use".

Well, quite.

In your opinion, what was the best 8 bit computer.

What about the person that chooses an Amstrad?

BARM! http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/images/localworld/ugc-images/276369/Article/images/29355305/14449607-large.jpg No. No no no no! I'm sorry but someone on the internet is wrong and we must not let it lie. Again. That's a picture of a bap. There can be no happiness and joy while this sort of t...

Tough choice between the C64, Amiga and PC

So putting my sensible head on...

The PC.

Can emulate C64 and Amiga

Probs me, I do get leaped on when ever I try to take part in a debate instead of them trying to argue there points Usually by the same two people I was a bit offhand with you prin, and I apologise. But sometimes its hard to work out whether you are trying to make a serious contribution as you spend...

His tongue in cheek post needed moderating and maybe a PM to suggest a not so naughty post be made - banning, even for a week is completely over the top and unnecessary.

Thanks for the response - maybe the answer is to simply remove the 'off topic' area?

Ah! Spector has been banned. Completely unreasonable to do so. The post was obviously tongue in cheek - a warning would have been simple enough and an edit of deletion of the post. Again, pandering to people overreacting to something. I seem to be turning into the Anti-moderator after so many years ...

Ok rather than threads being locked without pinpointing what can and cannot be said, would it be possible for AUP breaking posts to be highlighted? The discussions within the two terror attack threads and the 2017 Election thread may have been close to the margin, but with simple warnings to anyone ...
