m-JeRi Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 what is a retro thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Discuss retro games - essentially games people wish they'd played and get nostalgic over - yet, if they start playing now, they're in for a load of disappointment. Except Diablo II - that's eternal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I've noticed a lot of people have been listing their games collection in their signatures, inadvertently making them seem unnecessarily huge at times. The reason for this, or so I'm told, is that people would get to know what games people are into (or for the purposes of the trade section, know what games that they already own). Â If it doesn't exist already, can we have a single thread listing everyone's collection in one place, and that if members wanted other members to know what games they possess - they can simply link to their post in that topic? Can something like that be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Some of the sigs are quite large, with people addings pics as well. Can we put a rule like only one gamertag and max 8-10 lines of text (including games list, sig quotes, song lyrics, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Are any kind of pics generally allowed in sigs, or does it have to be gamercard/profile only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) Discuss retro games - essentially games people wish they'd played and get nostalgic over - yet, if they start playing now, they're in for a load of disappointment. Except Diablo II - that's eternal. Â Woah! Â Speak for yourself. I can name a couple of dozen games that are as good now as they were 10-15 years ago. I am not one of those rose tinted idiots that think gaming is no good anymore, realistically gaming has never been better. But to dismiss all old games offhand as crap is insane. Â Plus with a retro section we could organize via platform, year and genre. Â /Is obsessive compulsive. Â Although TBH the retro section would have about three users in it at most times. Â Edit Also I kinda agree with sigs becoming too large now. A dedicated thread for a list of games would be so much better. Plus it would clean up the forum a lot. And threads would look a lot better as well. Â Does anyone even read someones games list in a signature. People have like a gazillion of them.

KnackChap Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 how about a seeeega section :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Making a retro section is a good idea.. the forums page is getting big as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dienekes Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Shouldn't we have sub-forums under Trading post for PS3, XBox, and others? That would make it look cleaner and also help in searching it faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzkreiig Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 This is more of a query than a suggestion directed to the Moderators n the administrator:  My post count is stagnant at "4".....although i believe i've posted much more than that till now  Are there any rules i'm not following???

Bulovski Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 ^^ post counts in the General Chatter section do not count. Also do not spam the other threads - that will lead to a post count reset. Meaningful contributions to the other threads will easily lead to post count. Also, does post count matter if the quality of your posts are good? There are a few well respected members who have low post counts and are very well respected.

blitzkreiig Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 ^^ yeah i know - 'tis horrible. wonder how many sign up only for trading post and rarely access otherwise  Heh....rest assured i'm definitely not the type who'll trade games or consoles....I love collecting the original games as much as i like playing them so no question of trading n parting with them.  What i juz asked was a simple query.

rahul Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Maybe mods should up the minimum requirements for trading rights.. Like 100posts (that'll make 'em just spam the boards) or minimum 2 months the account should be active or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahul Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yeah, i've seen ppl spam like crazy these days. The minimum account activity period is the only thing making sense to me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 the 2 months activity seems like a good idea....there's probably a mod that will allow thatpeace  u mean somebody should be active for 2 months before he can buy/sell something on the TP ?
