Glad it gave you a Boost!

Rubix's posts are exactly why I don't make many topics.

Er... Galaxy. Or something.

Happy to help!

A topic is better than no topic, people worrying about making a detailed OP and committing to maintain the thread leads to no topic at all more than it leads to "higher quality" topics. If someone more enthusiastic comes along with a new thread, or wants to take over the old one, that's generally encouraged!

I don't think anyone should feel put off from making a topic about a game. If anything a quick, sparse OP lowers the effort needed so we should get more of them, and it means not worrying if the topic only gets a handful of replies because there wasn't as much effort "wasted" on a topic with little interest. On the plus side it's more engaging to browse a forum with lots of new threads popping up than reading one megathread where conversation can quickly move on and whole games are easily overlooked.

Sounds like some sort of pyramint scheme to me.

While you are right, I think “some” people are so desperate to be the one to create a topic they do it quicker and faster than anyone else who will take their time to create a good topic with more information.

I wouldn’t mind if the topic created passed on their OP to another forumite to look after.

I might be a minority of the way I feel but it’s my opinion.

Just to confirm I am only talking about Game Topics only, I don’t mind if its other topics.
