Have you noticed that you have been coming to AG not for the games anymore but for the forums... its really weird but i haven't played a game for a while
Well, from experience I can say that it's usually the newb members that spam. Most of the older players already learned not to pull stupid crap like that.
That's very true, in the last quarters of '08 and early '09 the forums were ridiculously active. But in addition to that, the spam rate was much higher.
