HyperSpin - Believe the Hype.

This is without a doubt the best front-end I ever saw. Think I'm lying? Go check out this link:

Hello NewB, umm.... We all know about hyperspin... Yes it is cool... Thanx for sharing...

Oh and welcome, please read all FAQ's and read a few pages of threads into each forum.

And yes; I am being a bit overly mean, but there are like 3 threads on the first page of software that reference HS in the title....

Seems like a propaganda campaign...

First post on a forums is to say Hyperspin is "the best front end i never saw"

hummm....

It is surely the best front you never used....   or may be not if you are in their team.

the release date is today no?

That's what I thought, I think they will be releasing a large torrent with everything in a package (excluding emu's and rom's of course). From memory it will be around 600 MB. The torrent is probably up already and getting seeded ready for release. Looking forward to finally checking it out :)

BTW I don't call it a "propaganda campaign" I call it a "marketing team"  ;D

This is the GREATEST THING I have ever done with my LIFE!!!!!! I could cry!!!! I have now chosen Hyperspin to be the mother of my BABIES!!!!

 :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:


*The above was sarcastic, any and all references to Hyperspin are unfounded, as I am still slowly downloading. Hyperspin is not able to give birth to human babies, or any babies for that matter. Hyperspin side effects may include nausia from all the Hyper spinning, retention of water, and obstructed bowel movements. Hyperspin may not be right for you if you enjoy the company of Game ex, Maximus Arcade, Mahla, Atomic Fe, and Mamewah. Please consult your doctor to see if Hyperspin is right for you. 
Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

Ok, you guys really don't need to be ---uvulas--- all the time do you?  Doing a quick search on BYOAC for various front end names you get the following:

HyperSpin: less than 1 page
AtomicFe: 15 pages
Mala: 25 pages - it has its own freaking forum!
Mamewah: 25 pages
Khameleon: 1 page

You guys are mods here on BYOAC nor are you forum police.  You have no rights telling people what kind of threads to make.  You are not forced to read a specific thread and no one is going to force you to.  If you see a thread that you don't want to read or look at then simply IGNORE it and it will eventually move off the first page.  Your idiotic responses only BUMP a thread UP, and the more you respond to a thread that you don't like the more attention the thread will get.

Learn how a forum works you "NewB".

Dazz I think that we've had a number of posts where people think they are announcing HS for the first time and I think thats all that people are responding to, not the number of threads related to HS. There doesn't need to be mutiple threads like that especially if your new to the boards and didn't even bother doing a search first.

Just wanted to say congrats to Bill and the HS crew for the release! Looking forward to finally checking out all the months of work you guys have been up to :)

Well, the thing is... you are going to have people excited to see something new and somewhat different than what is currently out there.  They will post about it even if there are other threads.  Being a mod/admin on BB ranked forums has shown me that you are not going to stop someone from posting a new thread no matter what you do.  Unfortunately, none of us have the authority to tell someone not to make a new announcement thread...  If you see another one, the best thing to do is to simply ignore it instead of bumping it and giving it more exposure.

I agree that newbies will often make posts without searching first, or cross posting, double posting etc., but it doesn't mean it's not annoying when they do it. I've been a mod/admin on several forums myself and agree it's part of the daily grind but it doesn't mean people should have to ignore it or not comment about it. In most cases I will just link back to the previous post and lock it but certainly no need to get upset about it  :cheers:

BTW I do think you guys should make a new post and announcement about the official release though.

At least the OP posted it in the Software forum and not under main. :)

Old, but not obsolete.

I am actually about to do this once I can remember how to upload to newsgroups again...  It's been a long time since I uploaded anything. 

Ok, the files are rar'd up, Par's created and being uploaded right now.  2 hours until completion.

I think it was several time people posted without checking.... And personality I doesn't like when people claim which product that is the best, which I also have seen that in jukebox as well. That why I never claimed my product is the best and is not intended.

I do agree to create a new OFFICEL thread about Hyperspin with a good subject. both in main as well software forum. The first annonce project subject is not very descriptive and might not have been noticed by new users (Welcome).
Decade Old Work: MultiFE, ArcadeMusicBox
Today Works: Various Spectrum Next games from Rusty Pixels and html5 games.

Ok guys, I created the official release post.  Please stop posting in this thread so it can be moved down the line.
