    No Post Count

    I however do have the capacity to deal with it; and will now slink back into obscurity to avoid the outcry of those whose post count was revised downwards.

    List of things these forums need

    Well I do know how to turn this on and off; however I haven't touched the settings for some time. I have disabled it now, I think. If it is still showing can people let me know. As for who did this: I don't think it was anyone because it wouldn't be the first time that a random setting has...

    Spoiler and Hide.

    Well the results are in and while the poll was not heavily participated in, there is a clear (although not dominant) result. The new tag will stay as the /spoiler and the old tag will remain as /hide. Thank you to everyone who bothered to vote.

    60 second timer...

    Actually the main reason for any form of post throttling is to prevent people submitting the same post more than once due to connection issues at either end. However, it does find use in slowing down any spam-bot who uses a copy paste system to flood a forum with the same post. For everything...

    Spoiler and Hide.

    The use of the red was originally accidental, but served a purpose in that it looks equally out of place in all forum styles; it is a very unlikely choice of colour for a background because it would dominate any text colour selected. However if you have any suggestions as to alternative colours...

    Spoiler and Hide.

    Based on the idea that the new spolier tag is for removing a section of a post from automatic view for whatever reason then you could end up with a long list of potential tags that may better describe the action than either /spoiler or /hide. I suppose /obfuscate is out of the question? My...

    Trouble with the forums?

    The username censor is in a separate section and yes the ass string was contained therin. I have restricted it to exact matches (that does not mean that all enhanced strings will be tolerated) even if I always read it as donkey. For some reason it will not auto-update the titles after the...

    Server Was Down Since Tuesday

    The server was down just prior to the topic's creation not when it was last posted in. Based on which this topic would be better served by being locked.

    Alundra: I Can't Believe It's Not Zelda

    Er not really: it is actually mentally disturbing puzzles and skill related frustrating ones. Sometimes they combine the two just to make you want to throw your controller through your TV. For example: almost anything in the game with a sliding pillar of ice seemed designed to annoy and...

    Alundra: I Can't Believe It's Not Zelda

    Alundra 2 was an abomination with no real connection to the first game evident anywhere; at least for the part I actually bothered with until I decided it really wasn't getting any better. Alundra would be better described as Zelda with the ability to jump and jumping puzzles designed by...

    Legacy of Ys

    Effectively yes, Sony doesn't like its customers but the above is actually the most lenient in this department; continuing the analogy Nintendo hates their customers and Microsoft absolutely loathes them.

    Legacy of Ys

    Apologies for pushing things off topic, but I thought I should explain this further: PS3 games have regional encoding on the disc but the console itself does not block games for having the wrong regional encoding as it does for the earlier Playstation titles. However, there can be a problem...

    Legacy of Ys

    In the Dark Ages of videogames regional lockouts were there for a practical reason as due to differences in voltages around the world games on cartridges needed different resistance levels in order to operate with the correct power values. Handhelds have always run off preset power supplies...

    Legacy of Ys

    Well one thing is certain, if it is released in Europe it will not be by Atlus as they have no such distribution system. Which means the whole thing would be down to which third party wants to take it on if any of them would do so. Currently there are no reports that anyone has chosen to do so...

    Animated Avatars.

    I have reactivated the animated GIF option for avatars for those who can have an avatar, this seems to have been an oversight when the forums were updated and not a deliberate policy change. However, I will remind people that we can remove this option if people decide to choose an avatar that...

    Terranigma!

    It is just a shame that the smartest and noblest character in the game was a non-anthropomorphic pig. I don't know if the US version was the same but the oddest thing about Illusion of Time was that there was a complete walkthrough in the instruction manual, clearly detailing information such...

    Kid Icarus.

    Those of us of an older disposition may remember the old cartoon series/blatant advertising attempt called Captain N: The Game Master. As well as whichever Belmont it was from from the early Castlevania games and Megaman there was a character based on Pit but oddly called Kid Icarus who...

    Terranigma!

    Terranigma was always an odd game by its release schedules. In case anyone is unaware the game was translated from the Japanese by Enix of America, but the directors decided that due to its reliance on religiously contentious issues then they decided to pull the US release. However, they...

    I wanna get banned.

    If we want to be technical then double posting is allowed but only under two specific circumstances: The first is that the maximum post character limit has been exceeded so the content has to be split over more than one post. This is a rather large amount of characters so is unlikely to happen...

    Flaws? In MY games?

    Whilst I do agree that you have certainly nailed the purpose of the forums, actually putting it into practice is somewhat harder than you might expect. I can insist upon posts having justification for their subject matter, but I cannot tell people how they should feel about expressing it. If...

    Flaws? In MY games?

    Well I'm still trying to work out the format for the forums, whether to stick with how they were or start again with a new focus. I admit I dislike the idea of single topics for each game as some issues would take the fore and curtail what may be a promising discussion on another aspect of the...

    Forum Redesign

    As far as I can tell the update reapplied the censorship of user titles without the exceptions based on usergroup. Retyping it sorted it out though, without this I wouldn't have noticed.

    Member List Pruning

    If you have looked at the number of registered members in the forum summary recently then you may have noticed the number has plummeted by over 6000. We have removed any members with a zero post count who have not logged onto the forum in the last thirty days. While we are confident the vast...

    New User Ranks

    There are we all happy now? Anyway back to the topic, if you do have a good image suggestion but cannot yourself come up with a pithy tag-line for it then please still contribute the image as someone else may have the perfect droll pun for it.

    Forum Redesign

    We are, at our own pace, working to redesign the forums to better suit our needs and to further utilise the functions of the updated version of the board code. There will be times when we request input from the forum's members for a variety of issues, thereby we can tailor the format both to...
