how about downloadable emulators and roms, i know there are a bit out there, ive seen, nes, snes, GBA, N64, there are more but i cant remember. we could definately use downloadable content. (members only ofcourse)

Well I obviously disagree with the emulator idea. However, downloadable(not a word, but I've decided it is now) content sounds good. Any other ideas involving this?

I was thinking desktop wallpapers, icons, sprites, etc.

I need to do further research regarding the ROMS's, emulators, etc. It's not illegal to have emulators however, it is illegal to have the ROMS's even if you own the game. I think this goes for anything. So...for now none of this stuff will be offered here. If someone finds out how zophar is able to do it I would like to know.

okay, no emulators and roms, wallpapers, sprites, and icons are a great ideas. Maybe if someone knows flash well then maybe put a few short flash games on here, just for something to pass time, we could also have contests within the site for high score and stuff... just an idea

It's very important right now that we start heavily recruiting. We only have 57 members. My goal is to have 100 members by the end of summer. I can't do this alone, though. Everybody needs to pitch in somehow, even if they can't actively recruit members. I'll say again that digg will help us out with minimal effort. We don't have very many active members, and that's something we should try to change. Only 43 members left!

[NintendoNerds]

I completely concur with you Ninjatiamat. We need members and we need active ones. Digg is just one of the tools I have incorporated and there are many other ones out there, we just need to be proactive and aggressive. I'm on board with this! Does anyone else here wish to jump on and help out?

Let's shoot for the goal of having 100+ members by the end of the Summer as Ninjatiamat stated.

We can do this!!

[mignelli]

yeah! If you need anything, NN, just let me know

[Chris]

I smell a Recruiting Challenge coming!

I think we should shoot for 25 active members than 100 members. Remember quality is better than quanity

Maybe we should affiliate with Retro Uprising. It has the same admin as EVG and pretty much the same mods. Plus there's a lot more games there, including first party NES games and tons more systems.

[NintendoNerds]

That's a great idea. I didn't know they had the same admin. Who's the admin?

[Powerfullove]

EVG/ Kong

Skins that reflect the forum, people who play RECENT games online actually keep schedules, faster responses from staff, and filling out challenges for each system if you're going to have boards for them use them.

[mignelli]

just because we have contests of classic games, dosnt mean we dont play new ones. If your so obbsessed with brawl, then go make a brawl forum yourself. Dont critisize the hard working people who make this place what it is.

[Dweller]

It's not just Brawl its any recent games, you have nothing for Gamecube on. Don't be so narrow minded, but if your members sign up for a tournament they should commit to it or give reasons why they dropped out. My point is your members say one thing and then do another that won't attract members.

[Chris]

What exactly would we do for GameCube anyway? Also, would you please quit whining about your tournament? I'm sick of hearing it.
