Forum Updates? [ 10655 ] [ Back to Forum ]
The forum seems a little out of date, especially since the last posts are from 3 years ago >.>

Maybe some new threads should be added, and a vBulltetin with MySQL would help, too ^^

I'll check up for regular updates anyhow.

Good work with the biz, Catchaz.

features [ 10657 ]
the trouble with features is they require maintenance and updates. ;) The trouble with forums in a games related biz ... theres a lot of kids.

but yeah ... i still think my idea of web cams pointed at pieces of paper. ... easily updatable :)

... nice to see a user !

Good Point... [ 10658 ]
...and also.

vBulletin can cost hundreds of dollars in the long run. I've seen some people who run emulation sites create their own forums with simply MySQL and the right CSS.

Some things that could make this forum awesome:
-Display Pictures
-Personal Messages
-CSS Layouts
-Thread locking, closing, deleting etc.
-Moderator Rights
-Suggestion Pages
-Advertisement
-Gametronix Radio (very possible with shoutcast, a friend of mine is renting radios out for as low as $5 a month for me - streaming at 24kbps and attracts people like HELL).

It's all possible, some very sxc codes can be nabbed from tutorial sites too.

*Its all suggestions*

Thanks guys,
-Joey
