Yeah, like Octopod said, cheating is not really a big deal. It's not like anyone would get money out of their scores (is it?).

I see Metal Gear Solid speed runs if this were made.

Any more thoughts on this? Really all that is required is making an extra forum section. Could stick the "High Scores" section right under "game reviews".

I love the idea. Could speed runs be implemented as well?

Since Keith Apicary says that we discuss high scores we should probably actually do it :lol: .

Great idea for a thread.

Some people will start "I don't believe you" arguments, but the majority of the people at racketboy seem very honest. And if someone lies about their score, so what?

The Hi-Score threads on other forums haven't created arguments. Folks who are likely to break actual records tend to record their games and post on said forum / youtube, etc.

If your not doing anything groundbreaking - then its no worries.

With that said - a functional Hi-Score thread essentially requires a sub-forum and a thread for each game. Then the person who started the thread is responsible for updating the first post w/updated scores. Its a lot of work to do it right.

I'd be happy to update a few - but theres is work to be done before any of that could take place, ie a dedicated sub-forum established first.
