The news in the forum

wutske · 23rd December 2011, 09:49

Now that I'm back on [M] I'd like to share something that has been bothering me for a long time now. Ever since [M] started to post every news topic in it's forum it feels like this isn't a forum anymore. The forum is flooded with news topics and it's hardly impossible to find a "real" topic when you click the "new posts" link.
This did and still does discourage me from coming back to [M] and by looking at the latest activity on the forum (compared to a few year ago) it seems like I'm not the only one who isn't attracted by this massive flood of news posts.

This is just my personal opinion, but I think the forum should become a forum again, where people come to post stuff (instead of just reading news) and are curious when a they see a new [M] review passing by.
