We ARE IN TROUBLE

Gamespot is going to bring about an overhaul of the entire website. If you are thinking "WOOHOO the bugs will be gone." Think again!

Unions: GONE

Video downloads: GONE

friends lists: GONE!

Boring generic website like all the others: YES...

The new version of GS wont allow officers and leaders to kick out trolls, as it wont allow officers and leaders at all. The forums and all we have done to create it wont be ours anymore   

I highly sugest making the Union live on on THIS site. it is very good with tones of features you can't find on GS. This way the Union Will live on!

... and I'll have some place to talk to my wonderful GS friends

I'll inform ArmoredCore of this site you listed, he wants this union to live on and I agree with you that it would be best for the overall community if it was recreated there in some form. Hopefully everyone here will migrate over to there.Noteldnep

I've been thinking about joining that site, though I don't want to make a new account at a new website if I don't have too. Was this Union going to be brought to the front page like some of the others?

Also, I think it'd be a good idea to sticky this thread so it'll be at the top.

Well, we can do a voting on it as a union. I'll let you guys decide its fate since you will be the returning members of it. :)

And yeah, I'll do that since this is big news regarding GS.
