I think a problem we have now that we hold gaming in DCS (our primary
location for *ING) is that it's too easy for us to get distracted and
start playing games (especially when running alongside gaming).  This
means that some people will come along hoping to do something of some
interest or use to the world and find a load of WUGLUG people shouting
at each other over DotA/UT/Proball[0].

We also have an issue that many people won't want to give both their
Friday and Saturday nights to CompSoc events and so will only go to one
or the other.  If people have to go to gaming because they have
technical duties to perform, we make it very difficult for them...

One solution might be to run XING at the same time as gaming but in the
other DCS room, so we don't have the distractions of gaming unless we
make the conscious decision to switch rooms.  Ideally, gaming would
switch rooms so we could make use of the whiteboard in CS0.01...

To summarise, I agree that we need to get these events running again,
but I'm not convinced that Saturday night is the time to do it.
