we should have an ultra exclusive secret forum like spam but more of an anything goes type ruleset. perhaps for high (1000+) postcount members. where we could share links and talk abut things frowned upon in the other areas.

Yeah, we can call it Fatal's Place.

since it was my idea I say Inky's garage

Sounds good to me...

it would be a way of rewarding us hardcore members and something for the lower tier members to shoot for someday.

I don't see the point. Even if we created it, porn and illegal links, etc. would still not be allowed. Since that is what it seems you guy are looking to obtain privileges for. And really, it's just not possible. If you all remember, the request a rom forum (which has been gone/deleted for 3 years) was for premium members only. BUT we still removed it. Why? Once our affiliates found out, it wasn't a pretty picture, and it made us look like hypocrites.

gc gimme, ill post some bunneghs cleaning each other with there toungs!

oh well, I doubt there would be any roms links, those of us with over 1000 posts know where to find what we want.

Then what do you have in mind for it to include (not illegal)?

just stuff that is alittle over the edge for the regular boards, maybe some discussion (with out links if you'd like) about torrents and whatnot, basicly like the spam/lounge less moderation and a post count restriction higher then the average passer by will attain.

Maybe an-invitation-only forum...

Porn-only forum. lol

Lame, spam sucks.

I can supply the porn. or the hentai. or those xxx games. or photos of naked Ryan (why do i have these in the 1st place?)

Wtf, wtf, wtf, OMGWTF??!?!

a forum dedicated to the legendary JKKDARK!

If we were to implement this, would we run the risk of becoming tight asses? Perhaps not... but It would be interesting. A place, more desirable than spam, but still not public. Inky said ultra members, but I think Robert had a good idea.

That way those like me could be a part. But there is a few problems.

Main reason: Especially now. The forum is suffering from stagnancy. There just isn't alot going on in the forum. It is not how I remember it was when I joined just under a year ago. At this point, with the site not popping like it used to, we would run the risk of further choking the life out of the site.

If this exclusive forum existed during a high time, what might go down? It would be a place free from bullshit, well at least at a measurable factor. We could use it to post things more freely. Conversations with a large amount of people, who share in the same idealness. (is that a word?) Conversations would be free from unwanting eyes. It has the possibility of being kinda awesome, and again, the possibility of being a train wreck.

If it were invitation only, we would have to discuss possible new members. And then we would take a vote after the arguments were laid out. This brings me to another problem.

Secondary reason: Favoritism. If this came to fruition, there would be those who are left out. Those who applied and were voted against. There would be a rift between members and that is NOT good. There would be posts on spam where sh!t talking would occur. But of course, that scenario, where it is more than an argument, but belittlement, would just justify why that individual wasn't voted for in the first place... But having that situation would not be pretty.

I know each individual has the possibility of greatness. Life is but an endless series of choices. Often we stray from "our" path, and sometimes become someone we did not want to become. That being said, There are those who would have good insight in a conversation, but on the other side of the coin, has the ability of not being able to handle themselves well.

I like the invitation only idea, but it may just be too problematic.

If Inky's idea of ultra members forum came to be, It might have less issues. But I wouldn't be let in, but I'm sure in this idea, I am included. And the opposite of that, are those who are Ultra, and not desirable for said forum. I like the invite only better, but what of the ramifications. If it were implemented at a high time, what would occur. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

But thinking about it... It would have some good advantages. But then again, would it be worth it.

Yeah... actually I was thinking more along the lines of anyone who attained the 1000 posts, except the ones considered not suitable or were being idiotic or whatever. But generally, you could consider yourself invited once you became an Ultra Member.

What you'd talk about.. well I'm not really sure. I reckon Ultra Members should get some reward, that's for certain.

why not just start a separate forum?

problem sovled

We should get cookies. Warm, soft, delicious cookies. With gooey chocolate chips.

Robert... Execute cookie command 01766.

Confirmation code: Cookie monster is dead

Why are we worried about being affiliated with those sites? What good is it doing us? I don't see the point.

No one has an answer?

Seriously why are we worried about being affiliated with sites that do nothing to REALLY help promote us?

People are going to find our site regardless of who's affiliated with us and what content/features we have.

I agree, being affiliated with a bunch of lame duck sites isn't any benefit.

Maybe we should bring back the ROM forum? Think about it, it will attract more members, and increase forum posting.

lol, to have a bunch of one post accounts on the forum is not a good thing

I just say, just create a porn sub-forum and rom sub-forum. problem solved. i don't think affliate with play-asia is paying

A more exclusive forum than spam would be.

The heart. It's in there man. Best forum on the planet.

affilation brings some of thier traffic to us, and honestly, its rare that i see a new member gettin all into this forum, I think Hera is the latest one dedicated new member poster I've seen since....I think Bambi and Belth.

Normal members are like needles in haystacks dude!

Maybe using cheese as a form of attracting new people can work? o.0

Cheese... DOes that mean selling out?
Anywho, I think most of us arent that cheap anymore, i know im not, lol.
When i first got here i couldnt afford shiz, and iwas willing to mess around with a cpu for weeks in order to get a emu to work properly.
(check da past-PAST on my posts, i was always askin nooby questions)
Got a job and following dreams now so i dont really have da vigor to work on pcsx2 and chakast forever, i instead would just buy it.
I mean honestly, there are many emu sites do emulation topics much better than we do. So we have to CHANGE something, try something new(that may seem pointless, or visit some other sites and see what thier doing and see if we can impliment that into this forum.
The trick is wondering will that taint our 1emu name or watnot, but dat is up to the Owners.

Yea by cheese I meant money, advertisement, the casual sh!t that's meant to make other sh!t popular.

Idk, my two cents, you can try forever to attract new people, but if no one really cares then you're all by yourself.

Damn I thought you ment cheese. And if you had id be pissed... Cheese needs to go to me!

I vote we make a forum for Wizard and all the other weirdos on here.

"Lolicon 3000"

It can be our own 4chan.

1emuchan

Back then i could probably disagree with that, but now I couldn't agree more. The best method is just advertising going on other forums and adding your site to your signature and make some proposal or events on specific forums that allow it, in order to draw in even more users.

EMUTMND

Where we make parodies of all our favorite Emulation moments.

Promote 1EmuAdventure! lmao!!!
BTW, how do u get 1emu sig that links to our homepage?
With da cool walking Mario...

It's called an image link. It's been in BBcode for ages.

What you guys are referring to sounds like something I've implemented on my forum last year, however nothing illegal of course.

Anyway it doesn't have to be porn or anything illegal, just be a place for reputable or higher ranking members to converse about personal or private issues and qualms they don't want the general public to see.

Preferably invite only, every potential invite is reviewed before reviewed before anyone is accepted to ensure utmost confidentiality.

It can be a place that members of the group can post personal projects, art, music, or anything else they want to show off that they don't want the general public to know about providing it stayed within legal boundaries of course.
