Bloodrun Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 ok well i tried to post this in debates, but when i clicked post thread, it took me to the debate forum, and my thread did not show up, so if a kind mod, or supermod, could move this to where it should be, it would be greatly appreciated ^_^ ok, i might be just a little bit off from the details of this situationbut, my little rant is on the adage of the Arcade(im not sure if YCMaker is still going through with it or not, but here is what i have to say) Adding the arcade, will be a lose lose situation 1) You will have a mass load of both old and new members join, and or rejoin.2) you would think that would be good, right?Wrong, they wont be posting, they will be playing the arcade, the arcade takes away from the actual meaning of a forum >_>a forum, is for posting, and thats basically, besides the small details on the side, not to play computer games >_>3) let alone having new and old members, back just to play the arcade, the mass load of members using the arcade, will slow down the servers a tremendous amount, trust me, i have seen this happen many a times. So at the risk of sounding, stupid, and ill informed, I am going to end my little rant saying thisif we need an arcade to up our "ratings" and our membersthen we need to go back to the design table, and figure out what it is, that brought us thes members in the first place. ~Discuss~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestLess-BoTics Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I agree with you here, Bloodrun.The true purpose of this forum is to provide an environment where members are freely able to discuss many topics, ranging from Yu-gi-oh, to regular life.So, I too, discourage the idea of adding an arcade. -Glasstin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffMaster Alex Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 my little rant is on the adage of the Arcade theres a arcade! where? If you had read the rest of the rant you would know that YCMaker might put an arcade in. Anyway, I agree with you too Bloodrun. There is no way that the server could stand that.

Yusei Fudou Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 An arcade? Even worse. Some n00bs who come here to play games will swarm the forum. It would bring some members, but we have about 100+ registers a day, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Fantasy Revolution Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 hmman arcade would slow down the server yes, but if YCMaker noticed it was slowing down he would buy another server. I agree that putting an arcade up here would detract from preatty much every forum epically shops, fanfic, and RP Putting an arcade would make actual Card Making decrease and people wouldn't post much anywhere... And getting an arcade would make this sight seem "desperate" for new members... so im gonna say no arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 i wonder if he knows this lol. the only way i would play the arcade is if it puts out created cards to good use..... otherwise your argument is dead on >_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Gamesmaster Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Pew Pew. This article is SO true. It reminds me of InFiniteX (Splice's forum) where no one uses the actual forums 'cuz there's a shoutbox and arcade. It was so aggravating I left. Trust me, an arcade will kill YCM. At least, I know I'll leave if one is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
