Would you like to see a forum for "Real Games"

<< < (4/6) > >>

eightbit:
Theres to many forums already. Look at the consoles forum. Almost no traffic there. If you asked me what forum I would have wanted added I would have said consoles. Their doesn't appear to be enough traffic to warrant it.

I do like the artwork forum and would say that generates enough traffic to justify it.

Spaced Invader:
Hmmm...
I saw this thread and thought--hell yeah; but that thought, as snap decisions often are, was wrong.

After reading through the other posts, I have to agree that the negatives outweigh the positives.

This is the most helpfull, well behaved Forum that I have ever been involved with. And to draw the radical fringe would be a mistake. We don't need troublemakers.

And there is the question as to whether the forum would generate enough traffic to justify its exestince...I honestly don't know.

Also, to split the focus of this site will probably result in a "watering down" of the content--at least in regaurds to BYO stuff. A broadening of range decreases focus...at least that's what I have found.

Finally, anthing relating to real cabs that's really cool already has a home in "Everything Else"--or more likely the Main Forum.

So, I voted no. But since this is the only board I currently visit, and I would love to learn more about "real" cabs...if you build it, I will come (or something). Just my (rambeling) thoughts...  ;D

Nailz:
I'd have to vote "no" as well.  There are already other great resources for Arcade cabs, let's keep this site the best resource for Mame cabs.

dirt:
i voted yes. i would like to be able to get or give info. at almost real time unlike the newsgroups that takes 3 to 9 hours before you see your post. i also think that alot of people here have "real" games.i've had about 30 go through my house just this year. if your worried about people getting out of line i have an easy solution if someone does get out of line BAN THEM. most of the people here are not here to cause problems but to learn about games be it mame or other. just my 2cents


dirt

games i have now:
 blood brothers
 carnival
 golden tee 3d
 video trivia  cocktail
 mamed capcom mini (all metal imported from japan)
 tiger roads
 empty defender cab

Buddabing:
I agree with what Dirt said. This forum doesn't have to just be about game emulation. It'd be nice to have information about "build your own complete arcade cabinets" as well as "build your own arcade controls".

Additionally, my ISP's newsgroup retention is just terrible, so it's hard to get useful information from RGVAC.

I own a Galaga. In the future I hope to acquire other dedicated cabinets, such as Multi-Williams, Tron, Time Pilot, Ripoff and other games I played circa 1982, preferably with the exact controls (spacing, leaf joysticks, etc.) used in that era, and controls that are hard to emulate, (Sinistar).

I vote yes.
