There are 2 major different types of forums. Ones using PHPBB and the others using Invision Power Board (IPB). Both have different features.

PCF uses PHPBB, while NAG uses IPB. IPB has the quick reply function (which I like too).

Its a textbox at the bottom of the posts that allows you type a reply and post it without having to click the normal 'post reply' button first.

Good day all, everybody off home already or are they scheming and plotting with NAG. (ouch, it pains me deeply to say that)

True to my word, I've stayed logged out of the NAG site...but I did go a-snooping as a guest. These are my findings:

In the debate section the following topics are locked:
::Cocodile farming : Is it morally correct?
::Equality in S.A. is it a joke
::Arafat = Mandela?
Each of these posts had a minimum of 10 lengthy replies before being locked.

The following topics are open:
::Why Sims 2 will never be best!
::Internet Version 2 ?
An average of 5 replies.

This is what you have to look forward to as a member of the NAG site.
Forget it.

Go chat on PC Format.
We don't want people to chat about gaming all day long, we just don't want people to talk -*****- all day long, like they have been. It's annoying.

...

If you can't think of anything to write about gaming or gaming lifestyle (like anime, comics, etc) then SIMPLY DONT EFFING POST!

Go spam on the PC Format forums.
...

People complain that now the 'forum is TOO gaming oriented and only for the gaming hardcore' and other stupid ***** like that... well, look.

If you know THAT little about gaming that you can't contribute ANYTHING to the forum, you have NOTHING to write about movies or music or games, then what the -hell- are you doing on the NAG forums!

We are not a teapot social, we are a -gaming magazine-. People need to get that through their thick heads. We're here, because we play games.

This forum is here, for people who play games.

And that's the bottom line, cos Miktar said so.

But I think the final straw was:

Now for someone like me, the buck stops here.
I'm not buying NAG anymore, simple as that.
The NAG forum was one of teh few places out in cyberspace where you could find a plethora of views on a myriad of topics. Sure, things were pear-shpaed for a while but we got it together and then this load of scrote.

Oh well.

I've hadda look around and me and MR GREEN are gonna be just fine here.

I'm laughing right now!!

All the Forum Fighter comics I had planned, actually fit in with what just happened!

I planned a rip of the Starcraft broodwars intro, with Phroggi and me being the two marines, with trolls replacing the zerg and miktar(admiral) uses his Ban-All to wipe out the hot-box!!

I also have to re-write our Matrix rip,
Retro: "Can the Hotbox be saved"
pfangirl: "No, it'll get renamed and all the users will become mindless drones of Lifestyle! Have a cookie"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

And my last comic I posted, with miktar holding a tube of Ban-All. *tears in eyes* hehe
