Default Women ag members?

I've noticed recently that there are few, if any, posts by women any more (or if there are, I can't tell because of amiguous names). I just wanted to check that there are still women members about aren't there?

EDIT: Skinny Minny, LauraMac and of course Emma, but apart from that? No Tamz anymore .

I'm feeling very in touch with my female side tonight. Does that count?

4 hours into this thread and the 4th man of 4 responses responds. Maybe your're correct Dom. I assume that mag is a woman and she's posts like she's possessed.

Where's Tamz? I disliked her very much.

Yeah, Mag and Fov, too, post often.

There's also Christina, doughy white, and Fairygdmther. But the fact still stands, you can count how many active female members there are on one or two hands.

And then there's Claire. She's not very active on the forum though, but still...and it seems like she still working for the site.

Anyway, moving this thread in a slightly more serious direction, it is kind of sad that the video game world is so male dominated. Even here on a site about adventure games, a genre that's generally less chauvinist than the rest of video games, most of the people are males. I thought there were actually some more women here than this, but I guess not. I would like to see some games targeted toward more of a broader audience. There are some games that are just sickenly sexist even for a guy like me (Legend of Dragoon, anybody?).

But, like Kode pointed out, fov posts here. And since I've already decreed her to be the most awesome person here, I don't know what else you want.

There were more women before I think. The community seems to have changed.

(p.s. Oops Claire and Fov)

I've had a uterus for almost 18 years, if it doesn't count now it never will.
