that's a very long post

- NGFL site discussion and previews
An area where people can grab a sneak preview at whatever is being worked on on the site. It wouldn't be any kind of lame crap like "IGN Insider" where certain reviews etc are only available to these people (and you wouldn't have to pay of course [image] ), but it would just be a way for people to have a look at the stuff I'm working on for the site a little in advance of everyone else, and also a place to make suggestions on what they would like to see happen on the site and forums. Those people could also post previews of stuff they might be working on themself - people have often emailed me in the past to say "I'm working on a review/whatever for ya" before they have submitted it, but they could also discuss it with other members or preview it before it goes online officially. Hell, they could even post previews of their own personal stuff, like a website they might be working on... and maybe ask for advice or for people to rate it.
I dunno if this is a bad idea... or if it would work or even be worth it, but it is just a thought I had. If anyone has any ideas then I'm all ears ;D
- NGFL Arcade
I've seen a few scripts floating about where you can have a little arcade thing on your forum. Basically it's just an area where you can post flash based games (anything found on the net could go in there actually), and it is similar to what you see on some other sites running other forum software (there's a vbulletin arcade for instance). The only downside is that I don't think it is possible to have a proper scoreboard or anything like that, but it still might be cool to have a little arcade where we could play the numerous fun flash games that people find and tend to post about. Again, this section would only be available for people on the required user level.
If any of the clever people on various proboards support forums ever figure out a way to have high scores then I'll do this for sure as it would be fun... otherwise, I'm not sure if it is worth doing? Suggestions please
regarding the ngfl site discussion, i'm not into that idea much seeing that there were downtimes and we don't have much to show for that idea unless of course, SNK-Playmore really doles out game releases to the max.
the arcade thingy is an ok additional feature to play around with just as long as it doesn't mess up the current scripts.
3. Finally, how about getting the discussion threads going again? Raiken used to do his anime discussions, but unfortunately after a while people stopped posting in them for whatever reason. It would be cool if we could get more people in the anime section to post again, and then maybe more people might reply (if you wanted to bother doing them again Raiken?
. Also, some of you vets might remember the Neo Geo game discussion threads from AGES ago that I used to run... for those that don't remember, I tried to run a weekly thing where I posted screenshots of a random Neo game, and then everyone discussed said game.
It actually went pretty well... up until the point where I got lazy and kept forgetting to do it, and then eventually lost interest. However I'd be up for doing it again, and what I would probably do is to get a few of them prepared in advance so I could easily post them up when the time came each week. I'd post about it on the site too, and in the hopes of drumming up a bit of interest and giving people a reason to actually post and not just lurk around here. It wouldn't necessarily have to be limited to Neo Geo games either, it could be a regular thing for games on other systems too, if people wanted that?
what if we put up another foreign language thread? ;D i remember proboards not allowing that (i think...) so i reckon that's where the other "idea: comes in just a few referrals for targeted audiences and we might tbring back the ol' days ;D
