    I forgot perhaps the most important thing: Is B. Buttercup still working for GamesRadar? I've not seen one of his articles since the GR team building trip to the glue factory a little while ago.

    So I'll word this to the best of my ability, and I mean no disrespect to anyone who works here. This website used to be a very important part of my day, especially when I was having a bad day. As a matter of fact this website was a way for me to escape some of the rougher things I've been through over the past few years. GamesRadar had a soul, a personality, and a uniqueness to it that made me come here every day, several times a day and most of the time laugh my butt off. The talent this place had was nothing short of amazing. Chris, Brett, Mikel, Henry, Tyler, Grimm, Carolyn to name a few. The articles written were hilarious and creative, and I can't say enough about TalkRadar that everyone else commenting before me hasn't already said. TalkRadar was the heart of this site. The magic the hosts created has yet to be repeated( I love the **other** show, but it's just not the same). That being said, this place is now just a shell. It's a ghost. It's whats left over when you remove the soul. The forums literally vanished over night, after the promise of something better. TalkRadar was brushed under the carpet like it never existed, and several very talented people lost their jobs. Please don't tell me this site belongs to us as much as it belongs to you guys. It's kind of insulting. That statement comes off as hollow as this site is now given all the reasons many of us have already stated. How are we supposed to be feel like were part of this place if the things we all loved as fans were just taken away? It also seems that when we speak up about it, we get ignored. I seem to remember a survey that was posted here some time ago, and then that too vanished, after what looked like 200+ comments worth of US telling YOU exactly how we felt. I carried the GamesRadar flag so proudly at one point I made my gaming friends read articles and listen to Talkradar whenever I could. I LOVED this place. I may have loved this place more than any other website I frequented, and when I say love, I mean I had a very real connection to this place. This website at one point made me consider becoming a journalist, just so I could one day attempt to work here. Sadly, any and all connection I had to this place is gone. The "improvements" don't seem to improve much at all. Now, GamesRadar is just another video game page. I won't expect overnight change and I don't think anyone else will either. But I think someone, somewhere needs to retrace the steps of Gamesradar and remember what made you guys great in the first place. Because it's just not here anymore. I don't know if this will get read by anyone, let alone if someone will make the effort to care. One voice among hundreds probably won't do a thing, but I had to get that off my chest. I wish nothing but the best for GamesRadar, and everyone involved. Peace.
