Hey Marulu,

There's a section in our profile where we can add signatures, but mine doesn't show up unless I copy and paste it into my post, which I've been doing. I thought it was a clickable box under the post options when your typing up a post by disable bbc, disable smilies, etc. but there's no option. Is this something you can add to the forums?

Awesome work so far. One suggestion though- can we get an Arcade forum? Considering we have everything from Vextrex to Wonderswan, it seems like a dedicated Arcade section shouldn't be asking too much.

Yeah, and if you need any help with any features, I have some experience with InvisionFree boards. I'm much more familiar with MyBB (I run my own forum using that software) but I've started a couple (dead) forums using IF.

I'm all for an arcade forum.

I'm enjoying the forum a lot so far guys. Keep up the great work!

I love this board! Love the retro style. Old gaudy 90's websites are a thing for me.

Suggestion: Since the SMS board is also labeled as the Game Gear board, maybe the MD/Gen board could be labeled for Nomad?

Also: Maybe some more Keith-style names? A fighting game forum with the RPG board called Punch 'Em Ups or something. mite b cool

Hey guys i got a question should i add a forum DS because the 3ds is the end of the ds line and its now old should i?

Why not just add a "handhelds" forum? That way you can avoid having too few threads and in one thread and consolidate things.

Are we allowed to post about the Gamecube in the handhelds forum?

hehehe ^^ no it got a seperat forum

Might I suggest adding a "SEGA CD" section?

Also to clean up the main section a bit and make the forum a bit easier to navigate, I think there should be "sub-forms" or "folders" (don't know the proper term for a forum) that contain the different game consoles to discuss. I think it would make it a bit more organized and easier to find the game system you're looking for to discuss.

For example...
on the front page you see:

SEGA
Sony
Nintendo


And within "SEGA" section, it would have:
DreamCast
Genesis
SEGA CD
Saturn

Within "Nintendo" it would have:
NES
Super Nintendo
N64
Gamecube

etc.
