Re: PC Format’s shutting its South African doors...
Gonna miss the mag, remember getting my first mag in 1999.
Remember how angry I got at the post man for bending my mag every month even though it had the big bold "Do Not Bend" stamped on the back.
Ah nostalgia...

Re: PC Format’s shutting its South African doors...
Sad to know its come to an end. Bought this one despite not having bought one in over 3 or so years! I think my first mag was 2006/7 probably still have them all! I remember being so upset that I couldn't be a part of the forum because the only email addy I had at the time was with Gmail

Re: PC Format’s shutting its South African doors...
I really don't know what to feel about this forum and the mag closing. I guess I outgrew the place eventually. I know I outgrew the mag years ago. Still, It had a time and a place in my life, and while I enjoyed it, it added value.
I'll cherish the friendships I've made on here, some have lasted and some have waned.
If the forum survives maybe I'll give the place a go again...
I'm glad to see some of the personality survives atleast.

Re: PC Format’s shutting its South African doors...
Perhaps I'm pushing my luck, but since the mag is gone and the forum is doomed, perhaps now someone can shed some light on what caused the great banning?

I believe like the great atari ET disaster it will stay buried for a long long time and only be revealed when we are all old and brain controls will be the way to play games.

The Gee and RRF assassination was, apparently, a personal thing and not open to discussion. Although you might want to ask KatrynKat. Since the one gave birth to her and she's marrying the other she might have some idea. Or not.
My personal favorite was the soapie surrounding Lancelot's chopping. Even though this one also played out in the mods lounge where we mortals aren't allowed. And is therefore not open to discussion. Sound familiar?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

I think doo, rusty, SB, SP and myself should be made admins for a while so that we can find out what went on, none of this "closed door" nonsense.

In the last pcf mag it has a page ad that says this is not the end. And then below is the gear t3 and mags. So I guess the mag is continuing with that?

I do know what when wrong there, although there might be things that the Admins know more about but the overall discussion I do know what when on there.... tho I was told to keep mouth shut in public, PMs is another story...

Re: PC Format’s shutting its South African doors...
Amazing that everyone - even the 'inactive' posters/lurkers - seem to lament the vanishing of the forums and not the magazine?
