Yes, they locked them, but now they've been unlocked. New accounts/accounts with low post counts can't post in RF, but they can post in all other sections.

Same here.

Does that mean that if I make like 500 posts in another section I'll eventually be allowed to post in RF?

In terms of the PL bar Arsenal fans EA only has about 1-3 active posters for the other major clubs. If it could get 4-5 new, regular posters for United, City and Liverpool it would be ideal. Chelsea fans have the numbers but their fans are dreadfully boring. Could also do with some Spurs and Everton fans. The back and forth a few years ago between you Glen, Adam and the Everton fans was pretty good.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that's possible.

edit: An admin will look into it.

I go to bed about 12 ish and wake up at 6. According to that link, I'm doing it right. 

Who here has an Xbox One/PS4? If not when are you planning on getting one?

I have a PS4 at home.

Yeah me as well

I have a PS4

Thinking of getting one since it's been about a year and that's how long I before I got a PS3, but there doesn't seem to be any must have games that require a PS4

The main reason we have one is because my PS3 broke.

Yeah. There hasn't been many next gen exclusive games that I'd say are "must" play games. I've had an Xbox one for a while and there stills hasn't been a game like that I think. Playing GTA V in 1st person is fun though.

Sunset Overdrive is supposed to be a kick but I haven't played it yet. I think that's an exclusive title.

Ra'scal Ghoul, how familiar are you with the movies of Ken Loach?

I know of him, of course, but I've never seen any of his movies. I've been meaning to watch Kes and The Wind that Shakes the Barley for a long time. Sounds like you enjoyed Kes a lot?

I did indeed.  I did grow up reading the book a number of times and loving it, so that might have played a role.  The Yorkshire can be brutal to understand as well.  It was superb, though.

I also saw Looking for Eric and really enjoyed it, so was wondering where I should go next with him.

anyone following the hostage situation in Sydney?

I finally caved in and bought the Moto 360.

Anyone watch the new Black Mirror last night? It was good.

No, got it saved for a long train journey on Friday. Does it hit the heights of previous series? I found them very hit and miss, the good ones were really exceptional and some of the worse ones were difficult to watch.

The police department in my city is going to outfit 7 thousand police officers with bodycams next year.

They had a test run with them in one of the towns in the county and complaints against police officers went down by 89%.

Did people know that the officers were equipped with the body cams?

I don't know actually. I guess if they did know less complaints could be a reflection of less people crying wolf because they know video evidence would not be in their favor but I don't think too many people would be aware. I wasn't at least. You'd think the police department would find it in it's best interest to not have too many people know about it during the testing phase too.

It's too early to tell how this would work in a big city like LA but I really like the bodycam idea at least. In theory it's beneficial for everyone, if it leads to less people crying wolf and more police being on their best behavior than I think it could be considered a success.

Expensive though. Police Department asking the city for $10 million to get it going.

Sony cancels The Interview

Letting the terrorist win. 

Maybe it's a marketing ploy.

Of course it is. They'll either release it at a later date or a digital download, either way they'll rack in money after what's happened.

I think it was my favourite one yet.

Legitimately flunked my easiest final by not studying. Don't even know what I was expecting.
