    EDIT: As for that icon you mentioned, are you talking about the one visible from the main index, next to the sub-forums, or something else?

    Again, change the descriptions. The listing was a nice thing, but there's still no way to know where the gaming music is when browsing the forum index, to mention something.

    Also, the other things mentioned by me in the lounge.

    Edit: To comment on the original post.

    Site Info: For Announcements / Rules
    Help: For Help with Site/Emulators/Games/Tutorials
    Discussion: For Spam/Gaming Talk/Media
    Downloads: For ... Downloading

    and maybe ....
    Requests: Request a download ...
    The rules are there.

    There's no point in having a help section that combines different things. We offer emulator and computer support, while games are discussed in the game section.

    "Discussion" is pretty much everywhere and while I too would like to see the media section go I still don't see the point in combining different subjects, like general shit and gaming. We're a gaming/emulation site, and we have one section dedicated to gaming and one to emulation. All as it should be.

    The request section is there already.

    Maybe the Gaming Music section should be some where else. And as an actual subforum, not a subforum within a subforum.

    Are those defaults or can you add different ones for different skins?

    I should be able to add them to different skins. But I'd just break them

    You're confident...

    I mean, we know you'd break more than that.

    I'll see what I can do later.

    my suggestion, wipe the arcade scores clean once or twice a year, make people earn those trophies.

    None is stopping you from beating the records now the records in any game are there to last and to be beaten by those skilled enough to do it. People don't play arcade games just for the fun of it, they play them to set awesome records that none can beat. We already won the trophies, it's those who want the trophies the ones that have to earn them now and the only way to do it is by beating the current records.
    We are gamers after all, not arcade score cleaners

    Well I was thinking about how I could make it especially easy for new members to find Help or Downloads. Or if they want a chat they just head on over to the Discussion section. And it would just be spontaneous and easy to find as apposed to being buried in sub - sub directories ...



    Help
    - Computer Help
    - General Questions
    - Emulation Help
    - Tutorials

    Discussion
    - Everything Emulation
    - General Gaming

    Downloads
    - Upload Services
    - Subdirectories
    - FTP
    - Freeware
    - GAMING MUSIC (lol)


    This is just off the top of my head but I can try to show you how it would look like if I tried to actually move the boards around.

    thanks for reading

    I guess if he posted it, yes?

    It's not a bad idea, but with the links to sub-forums added, it's not really needed to shift the forums around so much anymore.

    Posting my suggestion in the open aswell..

    My proposal..

    Remove the sub-sub sections from the forum display. >__<

    F4A -> Hangout: We could keep the description and make the hang out the only subsection. Gaming music and the graphic section doesn't really fit in there, in my opinion.

    General Entertainment or something like that -> Music Zone, Graphics (art contest section should be removed. Heck, I'm not even sure if we need a graphic section..), Gaming music and computer tech (I say get rid of the subsections there). It'd be a section dedicated to several subjects but everything would be easy to find with the subsections displayed.

    Filesharing & Trading -> I'd change the name and description slightly, make it include the pawn shop aswell (it's trading, duh). And, please, remove the info about our DC hub (aswell as the entire DC section as it's freaking dead).

    Keep EE as it is.

    Remove "jobs" from the name of the comment section. And there you go. The index would look like this:

    F4A
    Hangout

    General Shitfuck
    Music Zone
    Graphics
    Gaming Music
    Computer Tech


    Did I mention I removed the freebies and abandonware sections? The first one is never used and totally pointless, while the other should either be moved to trading or hidden due to improper placement/lack of activity. Plus it could aswell be covered in the request section.

    General Gaming

    Everything Emulation
    There a way to not display the subsections here? I don't think they're needed.

    Filesharing and trading (with a better name, changed description to include the pawn shop).
    Trades (I'd rather call it requests or something)
    Filesharing (DC section removed)
    Pawn Shop

    Comments/suggestions/broken links

    Yeah.. much better, thank you.
