If Gamesradar asked us back, would you go?

*Imagine scenario*

Gamesradar finally admit closing the UK forums was a big mistake and are desperate for members, new and old for a brand, spanking new forum with all the works (the Rolls Royce of forums or something). No admin costs, new influx of members on a daily basis etc. so the question is would you go back?

Only if we get custom ranks and a secret sub-forum for being cliquey and gooseberry fool.

It could create an interesting Sharks vs Jets dynamic of the 'Caders vs the Radars.

maybe for 1 billion dollars

No. GRcade for life.

If all of those benefits were included we'd be mad not to. Particularly the new members bit.

You mean... strangers?

Considering the alternative is probably going to be this forum slowly dying out over the next couple of years, I'd go back.

Everyone's splintered off into their little sub-groups anyway. Pretty sure a lot of people probably interact directly through PM or other means instead of posting on here.

Yep. We need new people.

I refused to go back to the Edge forums when they shut down, Gamesradar have no chance of me returning. :lol:

Are there any slightly smaller gaming forums we could absorb?

Hostile takeover of NeoGAF.

Wouldn't go back, would probably be full of loads of COD-playing whiny teenage gooseberry fools. :dread:

We could do with some new members though. Whatever happened to the idea of producing our own content, having a main website, etc? Did that just fall by the wayside?

Producing some kind of content and giving people a reason to come to the site/forum could be what's needed.

If we all sign up now we'd be ready by 2030

I wasn't around during the Gamesradar days anyway so they have no sway over me.
They should just sponsor the server costs for here or something and link to us, best of both.

I doubt their readership would be decent forumites, so no.

^Pretty much all this.

Yep because we wouldn't have to rely on donations to fund the forum any more.
