For point and clicks and what not, you know?
Plus, it's always an adventure when I visit racketboy's forums.

Most of the traffic checks the front page for articles and never actually enters the forums, and among those that do, many never post. Plus, while there are lots of registered people, I don't think Racket deletes old accounts very often, as some of those guys haven't posted in a year. The crowd on here fluctuates, and guys you see a lot of today might not be coming back in a month for various reasons. Of most f the users on right now, only a handful registered before 2008, and many of them post sporadically.disorderlyvision wrote:i see... how long ago was that though. surely the site has grown since then. i know that have the time if i search something on google related to previous gen games your site pops up, so i assume it gets quite a bit of traffic. I am kinda suprised noone posted in it. there have been a lot of platformers over the years, and some very influential ones.racketboy wrote:I actually had a platformers one before, but hadly anybody posted in it.
I only put in ones that people used....
how about atleast adding a forum called "other genres" like you have for systems. then we could discuss games that werent fighters, shmups, or rpgs. though i enjoy the occasional shooter or fighter, my interest lay primarily with rpgs and platformers. and i dont see how you can have a proper discusiion on retro gaming without talking about platformers.
only a handful before 2008?
Most of our big members are from 2005 and 2006.
A few have disappeared, but most everybody sticks around.
Getting the new members involved is the trick.
And actually, I delete accounts quite regularly. We'd have much higher member counts otherwise.
If somebody doesn't activate their account withing a couple of months, I'll delete it.
I'll also delete zero-post accounts after a while.

When someone wants to discuss a game from a gender that isn't in the gender specific forums they'll just put it in their respective console forumdisorderlyvision wrote:how about atleast adding a forum called "other genres" like you have for systems. then we could discuss games that werent fighters, shmups, or rpgs. though i enjoy the occasional shooter or fighter, my interest lay primarily with rpgs and platformers. and i dont see how you can have a proper discusiion on retro gaming without talking about platformers.
