[non-fiction]

More & more I find myself reading threads along the lines of...


" has anyone got...? "

" Can anyone send me...? "

" yeah me too... "


most of these fixes can be found publically on GCW or other similar sites- so 90% of the time there is no need for many of these mails and PMs.


I just thought it might be a good idea to have one thread running with no crap, JUST GOOD LINKS to current game fixes or official patches.

In the form of a simple list of; game names, version #s, and urls, it would be an easy to use, and easy for everyone to post their own personal links to - in addition to the GCW archives


As members of this forum came across useful files they could just post a link to the thread for the benefit of all the other users. It would free up the forum for discussion on GAME COPYING (as in its title), because it seems to me that more & more this forum is becoming a no-cd crack forum and losing its focus.

I know no-cds are useful & indeed I use them all the time, mainly coz I'm a lazy sod that can't be bothered to change cds. It would just be a one-stop quick fix for many of the people who would otherwise post repetative & un-necessary threads.

I realise it would require policing for dud links etc & it may have to be spilt up as it grows - I would suggest by genre.

Anyway, thats just a suggestion to the "powers that be" within the FileForums heirarchy. Anyone else got any thoughts?

As a sidenote, I'm a member of many forums for various things throughout the web, I haven't been here very long but have been constantly surprised with every visit by how genuinely freindly and helpful people are here. It has encouraged me on several occassions to go out of my way to at least try and help other members with their copy problems. I see this forum as a real triumph as it typifies the true spirit of how help forums should, could, and can run and be run. well done you all.
