So here it is the all new Edge-Online.com. Merging one old magazine and an older magazine in to a single brand offering consistency complete with profiles and blogs. Is this the collaborative future we need? Will we the profiled become vital contributors? Time will tell. Though with all the shiny newness of design one major critism, blogs networks are all well and good, people connect and share relevant points but there is no personality to a community properly without discussion boards or be it groups on social networks. Though I'd hate a system that featured groups to be introduced into this place as then I really will start pissing on the press release. What  after groups, third party PHP6.0 applications? Get facefucked!<br /><br />

Yes, I am having a go at the merger already! I don't mind the new site, peaved I had to sign up again though. I just feel the opporunity needs to siezed and the community completed by creating front page access to the existing forum hosted over the road at CVG. Who cares if people sign up to it or not? A link would still help keep the forum fresh. Some may argue that it's a forum full of stereotypical gamers, allowing access would mean very few industry types would want to occupy it. I would like to say that isn't the case and there are a few named industry types out there who do use the forum and have used the forum. Whilst they may individually all have recieved varying responses, like anyone on any forum, from avid supporters to sheer hayterz, the community of readers be them gamers or professionals deserve a channel to discuss all relevant topics regardless of career, social status, gender or race and be taken as seriously as the next contributor and the industry deserves to be able to spy on what the community is discussing.<br /><br />

I mean seriously, Future, Edge, original-Next-Gen posse, I dunno who I am appealing too, get a link to the EDGE FORUMS please!
