Additional Notes: A really impressive forum in my eyes, to my knowledge the number of emulator forums being successfully and thriving such as this one. Your forum certainly works well with a combination of gaming forums which are stereotypically considered to be active and full of posts with emulator style forums which are dominated activity wise by one or two members and overrun with lurkers merely attaining the required resources they desire. Good luck with your forum, perhaps with your own custom skin and logo design you cold help build a better identity for yourself as this could really improve your statistics and registration rates if they are seeing your logo in advertisement and forum images material persistantly.

Thanks, I havent been advertising much, and for the banner, It wont let me make one any bigger, I got the fixed version, where nothing is expandable, therefore if I put a bigger banner, Itll just overlap my forums and such =/

Additional Notes: Gah I hate that skin! It's the same as DU's...and I hate DU's skin. I like your banner though, it's very small. Not something you normally see on a forum, keeping it simple there. Other than that, it's a nice forum, good work r3dz.

Additional Notes: Well done. You've done a great job with the place. You have a solid amount of posts
* Ryanmbers and the forum looks really appealing. If you really need 5 admins, then whatever, but if not, I suggest removing one of your weaker ones, since the more admins, the more vulnerable you are. Consider hiring a Global Moderator, as well. They can help out a lot.

Only real problem at this stage is that there's so many gaming forums.

Fine board redz! Its a shame your members are dumbass PS2 and Xbox fanboys....Oh well, I like owning their ass. Anyways, You have got to get a better layout. Its awful....Try to also get some better forum descriptions. I would also advise getting some good buttons for it. Better skin as well. The only things you need to work on are the layouts and skins. Your staff is nice, but you might want to get rid of a few mods or admins.

But there is something I love about this board. Its not the emulators...I don't like emulators at all, but this forum appeals to me in a way that I can't describe.

unfortunatly, every admin thats there, has to be there, either they helped me pay for something, or they host me or whatever, either way their still a nice group of people, and they do a great job, so I dont really mind them at all.


rofl, MY, im a nintendo more than the others ;D


and I dont know what to do with the layout, ive changed it a ton, but I dont know, I know theres forums I should get rid of, which I might, ill see, you guys helped me a ton,. =D
