Can I talk about...?

Almost anything is fair game for The Soap Box, providing it meets Mod DB's terms of use, stays within the area of gaming (Or issues affecting gaming), and doesn't offend. We'd also advise against naming specific companies or people in your articles, just talk about the subject at hand and most people will be able to guess who or what you're talking about.

If you're discussing something to do with laws, be aware that there are different countries in this world and not all of them have the same rule book. Make sure it's clear what you're talking about if you mention specific laws or national regulations.

Cool! I can talk about anything!

Try again kiddo, you've still got to follow the rules. This isn't a free for all, this is just the place to write about your opinions on matters affecting gaming. Flames, deliberate trolling and the like are liable to earn you a ban.

Why should I write for this group?

We're more likely to check this group for thought-provoking front-page material. Simple really.

How do I get started?

Easy - either click here to create a new article which is ready to go, or get an old article and link it to this group. As simple as that.

We know you've got your opinions, and we know that like most gamers you can be vocal about what you believe. So we've gone and created a place for you to do just that.

The Soap Box is a new group designed specifically to pool together the community's opinions on everything from violence in games to intellectual property, from MMORPG obsessions to scandals in the modding world. The requirements for entry? An opinion, a good grasp of English, and an understanding of the rules. No insults, no libel, but other than that you're welcome to stand up and make your point.

The Soap Box is also the place we're likely to be looking for the best of the community's writing for front-page highlights, the pinnacle of thoughtful debate, and members sticking their heads above the parapets and letting their opinions out.

So grab your notepad, find a target, and let's have some pieces submitted to provoke discussions and debate.

anybody hear how the there is going to be an updated versions to the new nvidia geforce GTX 200 series called the 200b? appearently this GPU is going to be manufactured on a 55nm process like the new 9800 GTX+ coming out next month (current GTX 280s and 260s are manufactured on the 65nm process) and will be far more efficient than the GTX 280s and 260s just released on the 27 of june. all i can say is im glad i waited to buy my GTX 280! on another note nvidia needs to get its stuff together as far as driver releases, its been one pain after another with their recient drivers and I've resorted to some earlier drivers (162.50 modded by XG). if i didnt love Nvidia's visusal quality so much I'd have resorted to ATI long ago, but I only can hope that when i do get my new nvidia card in sept, nvidia has figured out how to release a decient driver set.

I thought the idea of this group was that it was advertised on the front page. I may as well have written a blog if it all stays private.

Nope, because features are automatically brought to our attention for front page placement and this is the a group you can add them to without needing to find a really specific 'target' group such as graphic artists, <engine> developers and so on. This is a general "I've got something to ramble about, here's my proper piece on it" group whereas blogs are more "quick comment".
