but it's not the same site we all migrated from as rather than encourage user contribution and in turn participation, it now revolves around Mark's games, Mark's reviews and all around Mark.
With that being said, I can see Mark has taken aspects from the original version into account such as CGR collection, a link to web store/buy it now and CGR comics. I like that he is trying to preserve the archival feel of console libraries but I still think that's too big a job for one man. All the same, I'm quite comfortable partaking in the forums here and I'm sure Mark is comfortable not having to watch over a bunch of miscreant internet thugs outstanding gentlemen while he promotes his business which is of course fair since it's his site to do what he pleases with.
Maybe one day, we can all unite and put together a domain dedicated to doing what the CGR site we knew and used did but until then, happy musings

I am interested to see what evolves from that site. Kind of funny, I see the only two game systems listed right now on his collection are the Atari 2600 and Playstation 4. Quite a large gap in-between.

By the way, Mark has said on a Patreon comment that he'll add a link to these forums, so he probably won't be creating a new one (luckily! I don't want to move again, we have a nice place here. Plenty of good beer).
Here's the comment:
"Thanks everyone. It's a rough framework and rough text. I can do much heavier design work once the frame is created, and I should be able to add comments and a link to forums as well."
It was after some people suggested a link to these forums.

Still waiting for Mark to plug our forum, as promised.

We're lucky the patrons actually represent a voice of reason. It seems like Mark is getting better at handling the new format of the show and I can only hope it lives on in its purest form. Here's the link Dan although you should know it by heart: classy game room

teddykongcountry Thanks, champ! That saved me a lot of time. Have a 'like' for your efforts! Edit: Just noticed that Mark's built his new site on the WIX platform. That strikes me as a mistake. The WordPress platform he was running before had much better SEO. It doesn't matter much if he's only building the site for current fans, but if he wants new people to find the site via web search, I think WP would have been better.

Can you make it clickable please? How hard can it be to go to the old site? This is why you don't have what it takes to become a mod Dan E. Kool.

Makes me think you've been thinking the pub should put together its own show.
