Post: Does NGU still suck?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've seen a few threads about how "NGU isn't how it used to be" and "NGU sucks now, it's all the same old shit" and I thought, well rather than complain that NGU is "shit" I'm going to aim at improving it and I hope other people will join me in this. I usually post in General Chat and Debate, and pretty much no-where else. I'm going to attempt to spread my posts out and return to my old way of posting. Decent, well written threads. It's pointless complaining that some sections aren't given enough attention when I don't even post in them myself. The problem is even if I do post such threads people won't see them because there in the sub-forums they never check. So this is what this thread is for. To advertise the other threads I've made today and try to get people to spread their wings outside of General Chat. I'll try to post 3-5 threads a day, no massive well researched articles or anything, but decent threads which we can discuss and that might bring a bit of life to sections like the PC Gaming section, or the entire Nintendo section which I fought for. I'll also try to post a few retro-game based threads and see if people are up for talking about retro gaming, if so I will suggest a retro-games section be added.

I'll try and keep it varied, with film reviews, game reviews, news, opinion peices, and just general chat. Hopefully people will see this as a more positive way to change NGU for the better. Let's not fight over the site "not being the same", if you think NGU sucks, it's your job as members to make it a cool community again. Make some content if you can, but if you can't at least spread the word.

Thank threads, nominate threads. Like on 'Facebook', Tweet on 'Twitter', Share on 'StumbleUpon', 'Awesome faceigg', 'Reddit' and 'MySpace', +1 it on 'Google' and anything else you can think of. If you want people talking about say... Assassin's Creed. The only way that'll happen is if there's Assassin's Creed thread written, and they're shared to people who might like them. At the very least sharing good threads get's us quality members and while NGU's member base is growing, it's active members numbers are staying roughly the same. So here are my first three threads, I'll post a few more tomorrow.

Respond, comment, read, enjoy... thanks for listening to my daft ideas on how to improve NGU, it's not much, but it's something at least.

Glad you approve. I thought it'd be a way you occupy my time, keep my mind off my pain, but at the same time be positive about nudging NGU more to my liking. This way I can try and push topics and threads I like and encourage more things I enjoy here without coming across as a massive CoD hating cock about it at the same time.

Same as Winning, I don't even game anymore really. Which is odd for someone who's on here daily.

I have noticed this a lot too. Most forums now are dieing with the COD sections and General Discussion sections thriving. Everything else seems to be rather inactive for over 600,000 members?

I'm in :y:
