EGX is returning to Birmingham.
Was that the one no-one turned up for last year?

No cheap virginmedia tickets though

I stayed away at the end. Missed the sock amnesty thread. Which reminds me 1/ I need to register a name 2/ did Sonic the Wankhog reveal themselves? On this theme... who was Innuendo Bot? |

Out of morbid curiousity, now we're a few months in from the initial exodus / great displacement, is there actually still a trickle of new members here?
Always fascinated as to how "floating through space" forums keep topped up with wanky regulars.

I joined here (not sure if you mean new or “new”) fairly recently as I needed a bit of a break first. I’d actually left and reregistered at EG itself, shortly before The Reaping ©️®️™️ as I had realised the need.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure at least a couple have joined since me, which I guess was December - haven’t looked.

Always fascinated as to how "floating through space" forums keep topped up with wanky regulars. If you look at "Members", you can then order by "date registerd" and it shows that we're still getting new people registering. Cant tell if they are actual new people or if they are re-regs or duplicates, but someone is doing something. We had 4 in Jan so far and had 11 in December. |

I've been gone for a few months as my old work blocked the .io address.
Switched jobs a month ago and now I can post/view again, woohoo!

You didn't switch jobs so you could post here did you?

As much as I love this place and community - unfortunately not.
Delightful bonus though!

I know quite a few people have said it... But I still can't quite understand as to how the quality of EG has dramatically nosedived in recent years.

I know quite a few people have said it... But I still can't quite understand as to how the quality of EG has dramatically nosedived in recent years. I pop over to guffaw at the titles of the "Premium" articles from time to time but I gave up reading any of their gumph. Was horrified to see that Evans-Thirlwell reviewed something for the Guardian recently. I really hoped he'd stay in his box wanking over Dan Brown novels and philosophical self help books in between bad EG articles |

Are the premium articles still mostly “I was told to write something so here are some thoughts on the first thing I saw on my desk” blog posts?

Is anyone on here a paying supporter because when I go on there I still struggle to see what you're paying for other than removing adverts from an article that was entirely cribbed from Reddit.

I’m not, but you can preview about a page of the articles. The latest one is about elevators, which literally starts with “I just watched Die Hard” so yeah, “write about any old shit that comes to mind” seems to be the editorial direction.

I guarantee that the comments are mostly people going “we call them LIFTS round here” too.

I don't think he's ever written a game review that actually told you what the game was like and what you actually do in a game. This whimsical shit is his wheelhouse, supporters only posts are effectively made for him. |

Yeah, you'd never get people whimsically talking about Die Hard around here. What next, an article about Jaws probably. Bloody Donlan

Shooting the shit on a forum is pretty different to “look at what journalism your money supports”
