    I'm not being smart or anything but get rid of the guy who reviewed MOHAA. The review was absolutely dire. He definitely didn't do journalism in college.

    So you review games yourself?, if so we'll be happy to talk to you about posting your articles.

    You can post a comment on any of the the articles on gamire.com but on the site not here.

    Of course you can only post positive comments about the site, which is prolly hard to do.

    I think Gary responded to the question about the visually impaired. - "It has already been pointed out that there will be a font sizing/selection tool and new skins in the over the next few weeks. Which will assist anyone who is visually impaired so.. question - answer." – Gary.

    "Of course you can only post positive comments about the site, which is prolly hard to do." - bazH

    so here is some bad comments which are still on the site...

    (No. 1.) "glad to see that the people over at dNC are on scheduel as per usual.... you people are a joke." [btw most of us dont work 4 dnc] (No. 2) "Nothing special." (No.3) and loads bad comments about the bright red which we fixed


    Only two posts that I know of have ever being deleted
    (1) the one your talking about
    (2) an off topic rant which had notting to do with games


    If you ever suspect any post is wrongly deleted please let me know, i will do my best to deal with it.

    Just had a quick read of the site.

    Design-wise, its fine - in fact, its a probably a lot better looking than some of the bigger websites out there.

    The actual content does vary hugely in quality though. There are some reviews that make me wince when I read them, while others are of a high standard. I presume the writer's work is all done voluntarily, but it really is no excuse to have this sort of variation in quality. I'd suggest, if you want to compete with the bigger sites, that you enforce a harsh editorial stance - if the article isn't up to scratch, tell the writer what's wrong and get them to redraft it - its guaranteed to bring up the standard of their work. Just because an article is submitted, it doesn't mean it has to be put on the site. As the phrase that's often bandied about goes: its quality, not quantity, that's important.

    Oh, and some more news would be nice.


    (Negative as the above post sounds, I still like the site and will return.)

    You can post any comments you like and once they follow the Terms of Use we won't touch them whether we agree with those comments or not. We deleted some comments about the red the last time because the Red was gone from the centre panel... deleted on the grounds of having no relevancy.

    As for your visually impaired friend I answered his original comment by letting him know that we would be adding font sizing/selection options and selectable skins to the site. I added this information to the article itself. I then replied to his complaint that we deleted his comments by stating this information again. That's 3 different times/places I have explained this (not including no.4 now) what exactly do you want?

    We have a comment facility on every article to allow us to get proper feedback. So that people on the likes of boards.ie don't have to listen to stuff that isn't relevant to them.


    NekkidBibleMan - I totally agree with you but we're just beginning our long road so it will take us a while to get to where we want to be. Thanks for your feedback.
