    Default suggestions.

    now as this topic is also for suggestions i had a few.-don't worry i am still exicted about the site- but is it possible to -if people are intrested- make a recording topic, because emulators are a lot used for recording and a lot of people allso have questions for that. and is it possible to get a chat or a shoutbox at the site? shoutboxes are easy to get legal and free -first ex from google already shows a good one- http://www.freeshoutbox.net/
    this would make it easier to talk about different things and simple problems without spamming and creating an awfull lot of topics.

    but still, keep up the good stuff, thanameless

    Shout-boxes and chat related are good spam factors, - almost like texting a bunch of abbreviated nonsense via phone. Probably the main reason Emu-Zone doesn't, taking it sucks up pointless space in the SQL bucket when more useful content could be posted by the forums...

    i agree, but it reduces spamming and, most important, non-registered users, or users with not that important questions also could post it there...

    Actually, it doesn't. I had to even yell at the admins and mods for the constant expressions they were flaming (though you would think it would be the guests and other members not knowing any better..). Of course back then we had clubs and axes to "beat" with - ha ha just kidding ya. It's a waste of valuable space in the database, as moving it onto another server is quite a pain...

    Here's an example of the insanity:

    IceDude - =O
    Jack - :?
    IceDude - :S
    Jack - =X
    SilverSerpent - =P
    IceDude = o_O
    Jack - <(^.^)>
    IceDude - D:
    Average Joe - WTF ARE YOU IDIOTS SMOKING!
    Jack - O.O
    IceDude - <@: )
    SilverSerpent - Apparently a case of "new shout box" smell. LOL hardy har *wink* *wink*
    Jack - O:-)
    AverageJoe - Knock it off, Not funny one bit
    IceDude - @$$ :* ER
    AverageJoe - Why you son of a . . . .!

    . . . .

    Drifter - Alright you guys, don't make me use FORCE. My hands will be around your neck if you want to push it. For admins and mods - yea should know better...
    SilverSerpent - Har har, it's addicting. It was that Iceman's fault. GET TEM! RING HIS NECK! LOL
    Now you see my reasons...

    There was actually an intergrated chatroom on the site but nobody was using it..... therefore it was removed.

    I would say the opposite. Check out all the people posting 'Help!!!' or 'Urgent: can't run this game!' topics...

    true but you could prevent that with a shoutbox, but however i don't think people here would say things like :P :S and what the hell are you smokin. but then again the problem is that most members of the forum who post daily, log in post at the important topics and than leave till the next day.

    Well, that was taken from of my own community back "then", though maybe my members were a bit more compelled with insanity with topics such as "101 Ways To Dissemble A PC" and "Ways To Successfully Irritate Your Neighbors", but proves a point as people "today" haven't changed much...

    I'd of loved to of been part of your 'community' lol

    But seeing as whenever i've been on a shoutbox all there have been are a$$holes or just annoying people, it's pointles, even EZ has there share of people, and especially letting guests have rights to it without a membership, that way they could come back night after night and annoy us all (since they have no membership they can't be banned), believe me, it's happened. And no these people don't have a life, besides most of us arn't on at the sametime, so we couldn't talk to one another anyway.
