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.

lol somehow i dont think that would stop the negative nancies from posting in these threads because ya know....they could not post now if they really wanted to

To be clear I wasn't proposing creating a sub forum just to silence the naysayers. I just thought it might be nice to get the traffic off the main forum. I also don't feel strongly about this at all. It was just a suggestion.

See, I agree with you. I didn’t see it as a, “Let’s just sent all these people into that space”-type of area (as you didn’t either). If you guys truly want to provide a level support for the Arcade1Up, why not have a place where it’s clearly marked so that people can find it who are looking for it? I assume that’s why we have things like Pi, Jukebox, Driving, and Lightgun subforums? So people can find it easily.

Seems to me that we need to move with the times (the irony of this statement isn't lost on me). If loads of people are buying these things and want to mod them then BYOAC should be the place they come to for advice on improving them. Controls are controls and this site is kinda the mecca for that. They can then decide whether they want to branch out and build their own cab or go full on KLOV. Or not.
I say a 1up subforum is a good idea. It localises the information and keeps it out of the way of people who aren't interested.
Similarly a light gun subforum is useful because there's a lot of progress happening in that area at the moment and we still don't have a perfect solution so it's great to have one place where peeps can discuss what's going on without it disappearing off the Main forum front page after a day.
Just because a subforum is created doesn't mean it's forever. As soon as light guns are sorted (or 1ups etc) then it could probably be archived but organising information to be accessible for new and existing users seems to make sense to me.
yotsuya:
Personally, I think 95% of the Lightgun questions can be answered with:
1. Yes, you do need a CRT;
2. Did you recalibrate your Aimtraks?;
3. Yeah, I know having the cursor onscreen sucks;
And
4. Check your MAME settings
:)
I think the top of the main page looks messy and cluttered with all the extra sub-forums. Then again, I generally use Tapatalk, so subforum away!

Look up there ^ there's a nice clean spot right under Miscellaneous Arcade.
