At least move them to Misc Arcade. Or better yet let's create an Arcade 1 UP sub forum. That way it would be easier to ignore all posts related to Arcade 1 UP if someone so desires.

I’m not a big fan of creating new sub forums for every little thing (Lightguns? Really?), but I tend to agree with this. If people want/want to support the A1Up here, at least keep it in one place. That way, if you’re not interested, you can stay out.

Hey I like the Lightguns forum. I don't have anything to contribute to it yet, but I'm working on that! Besides, if we have a dedicated Driving & Racing forum, it's only fair that Lightguns have one because in essence the reliance on specific hardware is the same. There are multiple set-ups for original lightgun tech, and now there's developing options for modern display support. So there's a lot to talk about regarding this genre of games.
As for a A1UP forum, hell no, I can't agree to that. If we do that, you might as well start forums for Arcade Legends, X-Arcade, and a slew of other vendors making arcade tech. Miscellaneous Arcade, or Everything Else fits these products nicely.

Firstly I agree with Opt, Lightguns need their own area which is why I asked for one and many members voted for it.
Secondly I cant believe these things are still causing arguments!
I have been staying out of the whole thing but as I am here well this is my 2 cents...
So I think anything that gets the next generation interested in the ways of old is a good thing and these little things do that.
Are they the best solution? Hell no!
They are over priced and poor quality but I think they are a stepping stone into MAME or even better real hardware.
I know over the pond you have had big price drops on them making them worthwhile to buy and mod for fun but sadly I have not seen any such deals over here!
I think if they sort the quality issues out and maybe made them 3/4 size they woukd be a good product but I get the making them small thing as people dont have the room for large cabs.
Hell I dont really but ime a maniac....
Howard_Casto:
Light guns absolutely needed a sub-forum. When the only way to play the games properly, even with emulators requires complicated wrappers that hook memory locations there are enough light gun-specific questions to merit their own space. That doesn't even factor in all the various homebrew and commercial hardware solutions currently being worked on.
