emsley Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Oh? Well thanks. I havnt made the time to express myself. This will change soon. You must! Damn shame that emulation isn't as burning of a topic as it was the time I joined. I still fiddle with emulation (and still have all my games for the systems close my heart), but sites like this one have slowed down considerably or shut down. Still, there's a lot of good info to be found in a site like this, so newbies still find help. The main problems facing this site in particular are the dwindling of the emulation scene in general (although sites like Romhacking.net and various high-profile ROM sites try to prove otherwise), and this site being in a constant limbo of supposed restructuring for the past three years. There's been some uproar about Model3 emulation and the strides that Demul is making, but other than that, nothing has managed to make as big of a splash as Neo-Geo, Dreamcast, and CPS-2/3 emulation in the years past. As for making topics of widespread interest that would encourage people to take part in a good conversation once in a while, I suck at it. Well, this topic is going strong, so far anyway. I don't plan on ditching this place until GC decides to close this place down for good. The Internet Archive will most likely handle the rest. You may not of noticed it Agozer but you are the Librarian here. I pop my head in once every few days. hit the "latest topics" link.see that they are all xbox section drama and leave. You need to make it cool again. Not many people willing to share what happened in their personal life here. Not many people are like Fatal Rose Even he is a busy man in China now. I hardly see him now despite he is just 2 hours train ride from me But seriously, i prefer face to face interaction now where we can hang out, have a few drinks and chat the good old times I still pop in almost every day. Personally I still do emulation in MESS. But yeah, it's basically all over and done with, there's nothing (except the people) that make this place any better than any other place. btw the xbox drama is largely over, since I kicked out the 2 trolls that were abusing ppl and rubbishing 1emu. Lol remember when i posted that the x box guys were ghey? That was awesome. There's too much menstration. Your manly attitude could change that. All we need is a few high energy posts and we will get a trickle flowing again, posting a post and waiting 3 days for a reply is not going to do anything,. same old problems, but why forget? Dull vibe? so what!
ken_cinder Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I keep trying to think of something that could be done to revitalize this place...to bring it back from the brink. Aside from cleaning up the index page so it's not a mile long, and putting everything into Manufacturer parent categories (Nintendo > each system etc), I'm absolutely stumped. That may help as you can see everything better, but to what end when emulation is at an impasse? Everything is at a standstill with the scene, it's either well emulated, not progressing or hasn't happened at all...it's stale, so we're stale.
Weirdy Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I know a way to revitalize the place write an emulator of a 128-bit console that'll run well on low-end pc's you'll have noobs in here looking for help and iso's

Cominus Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 So what's the deal with FFXIII, it's not as kool as I thought it would be.
LoRd_SnOw Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Hmm, i'd love to help with the reporting stuff but Gamecop laid me off many moons ago. i have tried else where but everything just seemed non-unified so i lost interest altogether. I also messaged Gamecop to see if he was interested in hosting some of my projects since the ship that it's hosted on will probably sink within a month from now. If this place sinks, i Can't say i never tried to help. Sometimes throwing money around just to keep something going isn't the answer and that's something i've said to a lot of people, i should know since i use to own an emulation community.
L.S.D Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Just let it die a natural death then. Even on FB, the group is going to be archived soon
LoRd_SnOw Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) I find it sad that none of the admins other than Gamecop have access to the backend of this community, such as ftp, mysql etc.. Otherwise i would probably do something nice, but oh well. Edited July 1, 2011 by LoRd_SnOw

emsley Posted July 1, 2011 Author Posted July 1, 2011 Well let's make a poll so Gabe can get access and hopefully tart the place up.A new lick of paint, no big deal we do it every year.
gavin19 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Hmm seems like I missed out on all the action in the Xbox forums. Someone give me a brief resume? I always remember a love/hate relationship between BP and resurrectionx and a lot of strange tension. Wasn't like that in the old DC++ days, more like a hippy commune. Anyway, whatever emsley says is fine by me. He may be a bit deranged but at least he still has passion for 1emu
