    Keep the name. We won't be attracting just PC gamers since we will be at the top of the list.

    Not yet- but given the nature and tight-knittedness of this group, we may want to move "GSF Lobby- Misc Discussion" into the community boards category (much like The GCB) to keep immigration to a minimum. Dat exclusivity that some of y'all want.

    Other people mentioned the traffic to the lobby earlier in the thread, hence my mentioning it.

    And ZF will continue being your mod. If the gaming board became something more general and you got an influx of traffic, you'd end up naming another mod - which would most likely be put up to another vote by you all. Don't worry, mean old me and the other mods aren't going to come in modding your boards. [face_tongue] In fact, Sean's putting methods in place to assure that foreign mods don't come in and handle boards they are not familiar with.

    But if we never get new members eventually there will be no community.

    And as long as we keep our gamespy name I think increased visibility won't hurt.

    What I'm sayin is...

    If Gamespy still has a link to a forum it could point to the general gamespy gaming board:)

    >The GG> Vestibule
    >IGN General Gaming Board
    Subforum GSF
    >Gamespy General Gaming
    >Everything Else
    >The GCB

    Not really sure through, This place wants to boost activity but no-one wants the community to go:(

    Again, for the record, I am 100% for status quo across the board. Keep the GameSpy name, keep our current spot and keep our two boards together.

    If IGN wants a universal gaming board, great, go for it. Some of us will use it. But leave us as we are.

    There just isn't the sense of community here anymore that there once was. I think its best we just pack up and migrate to a more popular board with new blood and a better flow of people.

    Agreed. It's time to let this board go. It's mostly just pedophiles and Europeans here now anyways.

    Give us your tired, your poor,
    Your fat asses yearning to mouth-breathe free;
    The wretched refuse and your stinking boor,
    Send these noobs, the homeless,
    Troll-tossed to me
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

    Ignore all the posts from 59 on. Not including this one of course. I inadvertently opened the portal to the outhouse outpost guys.

    Sorry.

    This board has threads on the first page from before Christmas. As a long time member I vote that we pull the plug on this board's life support and go try to find someplace with people that pay closer attention.

    It's an unfortunate truth that this board is being subsidized by the much more interesting and frankly better looking members of younger hotter more popular boards. As a free market capitalist I can not stand for this type of board socialism. So in spite of me losing the greatest man on man personals forum I have ever seen on the internet, I am willing to let this board go and find a new place to call home.

    This thread could be an ironic harbinger of things to come.

    And when the blame falls on me I'll at least take comfort in good wine.

    that seems fair. in these trying board realignment times democracy is our only hope. That and fair play and honesty. So I was glad to see VultureGangsta apologize for his libelous attacks on board paragon Moe_Nox.

    This is exactly what I was talking about. People forget the past and the roots of a place.
    Do you need a reminder of things of old? Of things discussed? Of things.. Hasselhoff?
    yes, I do believe its time for this.

    To Zin/CP, i believe if you tally the votes now, status quo has the majority. Tell them to go with what the majority of our members want.

    Vulture - what have you done?

    Now YOU are the one trying to rush things for your way. There are still some more regulars who have not had their say. Gapster, Rob, AT, Thunder are the first four that come off the top of my head. As it stands, if he has to give a report, I agree he should lobby for status quo, but that doesn't mean the thread should be considered finished unless the time is up. Whoever these other people are should of course be ignored. They appear to be the ghosts of Gamespy past or something.

    He gave us a deadline of today. I'm fine with extending the deadline to see what more people want. but if it has to be today, status quo has the majority, I am simply pointing that out.

    Haha, what an awesome twist to this thread.

    Also, the one change I would not oppose (but also don't really care about) is Vulture's proposal of simply moving us up the list a bit, as long as we're not at the top and everything else stays the same.

    I'm with Catfish, etc on this one, I came back and made some posts recently because I had a dream that reminded me of my time hanging out at the original Gamespy Lobby Misc, I'd have never found this place if it got all jiggered up again, the reason I left in the first place many, many years ago was the integration with IGN.

    Welcome back Nacho!

    I hope this place is still as it was a couple days ago for you. Things were really improving even with the IGN switch, and we have a lot of good regulars, many from way back when. Do you have contact with any of the old BTF or GSF peeps?

    Also do you know of the other forum for oldbies?

    I think that's a fair compromise. I wouldn't want to split up the two boards in exchange for moving up any higher.

    But, DD, there may be no option to keep the boards together. They probably want to "streamline" things so the gaming boards are all gaming boards. In that case I would want us to be the general games discussion provided that it's the "gamespy general games discussion".

    And of course the Lobby should be renamed "Gamespy Lobby" if there's no Gamespy catagory anymore and if it's moved to the non gaming boards.

    Thanks, Catfish, I'm still just getting used to posting on forums again, gettin my feet wet. That's good to hear, excited to stick around if there's a constant. Sadly, nope, no contact at all, once the fun boards like BTF got shut down, I became jaded by the corporatocracy going on. Then my computer died and I lost IRC, didn't see a reason to re-install it. I know of nothing, lost ICQ too.

    Vulture that is pretty disparaging and isn't accurate at all, and I resent it. Our alley is fully well lit and you know it.

    I can't believe this shit was caused by a fucking alt of a well known dumbfuck troublemaker just asking for a long ban.

    Hello Outpost people. You're welcome to come and say hi, but this is my board, my rules. Feel free to play nice. Or not. Whatever. It's not like I'm going to start feeling guilty for banning people.

    Many thanks.
    However claiming that this board is yours after being swallowed by IGN, is like a parasite claiming ownership of the dog's anus he lives in.
    Its bold blowhard machismo and I like it. You may be Outposter material, sir.

    This may be IGN's anus, but it's our part of the anus. The part that gets rubbed all over the carpet. Yeah. Scratch that itch.

    Please let them know and post an opinion. Sean is awaiting all opinions to come in so they may be weighed in consideration of preserving old community whilst fostering the growth of new ones. Thanks [face_peace]

    This is such a mess. I say we need a vote -- a real vote. Someone post a poll and let the people decide which decision is best. If no one volunteers, I'll take the matter into my own hands. GameSpy should remain autonomous in its new home, wouldn't you say, my fine, feathered felines?
