Vote for LoRd SnOw to have back end access.

[emsley]

Well Lord snow also known as Gabe, is quite proficient in the handling of php and database management.

 

This is another user offering a helping hand to the 1emu community.

The reasons why gabe should be given access in my opinion is to update the forum, possibly change the theme to a darker one, because if you haven't noticed, everytime 1emu has been at it's peak a darker skin has always helped out.

 

A few member are also wanting to see the FAS reimplemented.

 

In my ideal world, this place isn't really a hub for emulation BUT is a good source for like minded gamers whatever their age.

Emulation although mostly undeground and not mainstream still has it's part to play here just not as intense as it appears now.

 

I would recommend the following:

 

A trim down of all forum catergorys, a change of skin to a darker looking theme, and more emphasis encouraged on general talk. Of course the emulation section should remain but I do not think we need this many topics.

 

if trust is an issue, surely there must be a way to give limited access or only allow certain areas worked on.

If the top brass don't care, not many other users will.

 

We have seen it all before, Doesent bother me one bit if this place is active, or if it's a slow tick over.

 

If the X-box users dont at least chip in a with a vote here, I think that forum should be shut down first.

 

I will vouch for Gabe, he is a hard working coding whizz kid, fresh blood for the site if ever there was one.

You think a forum can't be brought back from the dead? When all hope is gone? You're looking right at it.

Miskie and GameCop need to give their two cents, and miskie doesn't move unless GC greenlights stuff first.

Ok Agz, notify the man.

Lets strip this old V8 down and clean the fucker up.

I just received a weird Facebook message, not sure what it was all about so I logged in here. Things don't seem any different than they normally do. o_O

I assure you, I just had a PM from one of the xbox guys and they are (cant vouch for all) that they are intrigued by the new developments here.

Can we all put "2+2" together now? Even I dumb-ass of all maths can add this up!

We dont have to get in to bed with each other here, only see that we need to start going "Oh yeah like i visted 1emu one time I might log back in."

Since you mention the Xbox section specifically, I'll speak up as I've been an active member in that forum for a good few years.

 

I've voted yes. Believe it or not, the Xbox forum here used to lead the way in terms of giving up-and-coming developers a place to share their ideas and their work and gain the help and support of an enthusiastic and positive community of coders and users. Now it's a joke, plain and simple. So I'm in favour of anything that makes a change to that. Merging the Xbox section into the wider forum will likely put an end to the deliberately antagonistic topics and members behaving as though they own the place and hopefully mean moderating will be less sporadic than it has been at times when it's been sorely needed there.

Thanks for dropping your nut sack on the table + T +.

I hit yes. But only because I want to see this shit more active than it used too.

Haha what a joke. Waal spent all his time here abusing other members and rubbishing 1emu, then when I silenced him, he started abusing me via PM, so I stopped that. Then, from the reports I received, he setup his own forum and continued the rant.

 

So, whatever he says, just trash it, put him on Block if necessary. Let me know if he PM's anyone else.

 

His reason for wanting the XBOX forum shut down is so he can steal our xbox-owning members. While we have the forum we are a thorn in his side.

 

Continue on please.

1emu has an ftp?

@Robert - If you're talking about the Xtras site - Waal is not an owner, nor an Admin and the site has actually been active since late 2008, and the forum since March 2010, way before the drama started over here, or at least well before it got out of hand. We as a site, and I think even Waal would agree, have always been of the mind set that the Xbox community is just that, a community. We don't see any competition; in such a niche group we most likely share 90% of our users with any Xbox1 site, or site with a heavy Xbox1 presence. As far as I'm concerned, the more Xbox sites the better. If there are 100 sites with an Xbox section it tells me there is still a healthy interest, and that's a good thing when it comes to emulation on the Xbox, and Xbox homebrew in general. It's silly to imply "stealing" of members as I think if a site has something worth coming back to, people will come.

 

 

 

Back on topic - I am against the shutting down of the Xbox section. I think it may be a small group, but a big enough one to have a dedicated home. There are still new releases fairly often, and people often run into problems setting up emulators, new hard drives, etc.

 

I think that, for Xbox anyway, the problems there were due to a lack of consistent moderator presence. A moderator should be chosen who frequents that forum, rather than deleting the forum all together. That would most likely shape the place up. Prican25 seems to be the designated moderator, yet he hasn't logged in since September 2010.

 

Unless you were simply talking about sizing down the forum options, in which case I would maybe think about dividing the forums into gaming generations. Then on the main forum list it would be all the gaming generations, with the related system specific sub-forums inside. Though, I don't think the current set up is so bad.

[emsley]

^ This - this is the problem.

Although we (all) appreciate the input, why did this suddenly turn in to a whining thread about how each other is treated?

This will solve NOTHING other than turn this thread in to a suck fest.

 

THE OVERALL AIM IS TO UPDATE THE FORUM!!

NO ONE IS GOING TO BE THOUGHT OF AS "BAD OR A TROLL" so please do not full this thread with posts about who did this, who did that, THINGS WILL GET BETTER.

 

Still no word from Gamecop agozer?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Who is the owner?

It seemed to be what he was doing. But you are most likely right.

True. Honestly I'd rather not have to moderate that section; after all, the rest of 1emulation runs fine without intervention. It only requires that the members who post there could do so in a civil manner and follow the rules like everyone else.

I'd probably just have a section for Sega, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Arcade, Other; and just merge all the subforums into these new ones. There isn't enough traffic to justify dozens of sections any more. Still, it isn't my decision, and I'm not expecting any change.
