"I enjoy it all. The Personal attacks was the only thing I didn't like and that seems to have stopped. I enjoy reading about the other games when they end and all that is going on. It’s like the window into the GD Community."
"You meet other players and see what they are thinking of all possible topics in the World. Also all new ideas can spread easily through newsgroup (like team game, playtests, GD surveys, turn/hour games)."
"Now the IP are tracked, I don't see any weak point. My desire is something I don't know if can be accomplished: to find some way of writing/reading the newsgroup off-line."
"It works well as a bulletin board to post notices and such. Not bad as an alternative form of communications."
"Heard that is just a forum to air grudges against other players."
"It's a bit slow for euro-netizens. Maybe a mail list will work better."
"There is a lot of stupid commentary about people calling each other names. Often the commentary is like a chat room for a select few while the rest of us enter at our own peril of being ridiculed."
"Previously possibility to post anonymously was a weakness, nowadays that is not true anymore. Perhaps one weakness is that sometime the discussion in newsgroup is very slow, because people don't read it every day."
"Boredom. I'd love it to be used as a forum for enemies (in ongoing games to misinform or slag off)."
"Sometimes the newsgroup goes off on tangents on useless subjects."
When I say "no weak points" in the Strong Points graphic I am referring to players who after speaking of one or more strong points have said that there were no weak points.
