is there any point to this type of question in the shout box?

Can''t fellow members either be patient to wait and see if a any sessions appear or if they are that keen for multi player session get off their ####side and host one themselves.

Apologies in advance for any offence caused.

Regards.

Grumpy old man.

Sometimes people ask it, to help them decide if they are going to host, and by people I mean me

Fair comment, although I think there is a subtle difference between:

1. I am thinking about hosting but I don't necessarily want to clash with another host.

2. I'm either impatient or can't be bothered hosting myself.

Again apologies in advance to any members of the forum with an alternative view.

Or 3 - I can't be asked to look at the forum. (Scroll down and see mention of an ongoing host thread)

As long as people have looked in the forum, and there are no sessions running, I don't see the problem with asking 'the question'.

A better wording would be "Is anyone planning to host?", but I imagine that's what people usually mean anyway

In my opinion life is far too short to worry about things like this..!

Signed,

A grumpy young(ish) man.

I think anything that encourages more multiplayer games is itself to be encouraged. And the converse as well.

My instinct is that the more "alive" the shout box is, the more likely it is someone will spontaneously decide to host. Although I am open to being convinced otherwise.
