That's where Elmdor plays with the kids

The whole dead links still in the uploads section to be removed is all well and good as long as they are reported as being dead so we know to remove them

a general clean up is needed though part to prevent multi places to post the same thing and partly just to make it easier to find what is wanted as far as general users go

what about new content? any ideas there

is it possible to have a link checker bot? something that goes through and checks to see wether their active or not and auto notify the uploader or just deletes derad links?
as for new content I honestly can't think of anything new that could be added.

How about a tournament for people who play fighting games. I think it was going to happen at one point(maybe) but it didn't happen.

I like this idea but will expand on it a bit. I think theres a section on EP's main site can't really recall, how about adding a section for netplay where members can set up netplay tournaments and such for snes and other emus that support netplay?

Would be down to spectate or watch VODs of these if it was possible.

We used to have a Fighters hangout and even made little tournies, Fighters hangout got shutdown and the tournies never really took off.

But I would like to get some PPSSPP multiplayer action going on, alot of fun competative games to play with more than 2 people like Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops and Peace Walker.

Also have plenty of Co=op games like Monster Hunter and Phantasy Star Portable.

Such bots are pretty unreliable. Well at least the ones I've seen in action in the past have been, I know that for sure.
Moving a heap of stuff to trash that is still ok can be a real pain for staff, especially if it takes a little while to notice what the hell is going on.
Even if such a bot didn't move stuff but sent a message to the OP it could be annoying if it all goes wrong.

The system atm is ok, maybe just needs more work from staff to clear out the dead wood.

I feel the pruning of dead links/threads being removed will somewhat help with new content. I haven't done anything in years, because I don't really know if what is already posted is live or not and is a deterrent to posting the same thing if the links are live.

I was thinking, creating a thread for newbies explaining how to emulate different systems. It could be text or videos showing how to go about it step by step. I remember when I first started out,I had no clue how to emulate.It might cut down on the having to explain it over and over again.

I like this idea.
But I find calling it ''tourneys'' too..heavy, so to speak.
Gaming meetups (or some other fancy name), would be better I think, wouldn't have that ''competition sound'' that might put people off.
And it shouldn't be restricted to fighting games alone, like The Grouch said.
Old school, new school, co-op or not, League of Legends or whatever.
I think it could work out.
Of course, tourneys properly said could be made, periodically or something.

Aka I beat everyone's butts.

tournies never really took off.

Because lack of availability of people.
Remember that Nem tourney?
I feel like it was kinda rushed, in the sense that, there wasn't a big, solid group of people willing to play.
Not that Nem organized it wrong or anything, I actually commend him for making the first step, but, not that solid of a group, and then that reduces interest.
...

And those, were my 2 cents.
Tired brain 2 cents, but 2 cents regardless.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always assumed the EP Points we earn were more or less useless, as I haven't been able to find anything stating what they're good for at the moment. Even something like EP Premium in exchange for those points would be cool.

On a related note, what exactly determines how many points you earn? I've seen a few users with less posts than I've had who have far more EP points than I do, so I imagine it can't be related to number of posts.

Uploads and thanked posts I believe are the major source of EP points.

To earn EP points you can do one of 4 things (First two are with the mainsite, 2nd two are forums)
Submit a game description = 5 points
Submit a game screenshot = 5 points
Get Thanked on the forums = 5 points per thank
Upload something to the Emuporium = 10 points per upload

Spending points
Block popups on EP for 1 week = 50 points
1 month of EP Premium = 500 points
Get an EP Shirt = Coming soon, has been like this for several months

Edit: I also think I remember seeing a mockup of the EP shirt somewhere, but I've long forgotten.
