Are We Still A Friendly Community ?

it's interesting but the search function isn't completely straightforward and because it defaults to search the last 30 days people often won't get many hits until they change it - being a newb they probably overlook it. But I imagine this is set this way to save your processing power....?

perfect example is this new thread about dosbox

well, i have to say

a) the search-functions sucks deeper than yahoo
i cant find a thing with it above 2 words
i think that googling for "gp32x" "forum" *the thing i'm looking for* would be better..

B) the gp32-community is somehow little, we have some major-sites and thats it;
everything else seems kinda hidden, also my problem is that i do know how to use google or a search-function but i sometimes cant sort out the specific result,
the thing i'm looking for is straight in front of me but i cant see it because its a dark-coloured link on black background in a list of 20
so its always a pain to find those things myself, well i'd even accept a flame for the post in such a case..

and well, flaming rom-lemurs is still a bad thing;
anyone thought about that humans are highly self-modifying programs?
well, i myself flamed ppl on qbasic-forums for asking such stupid questions, but looking at it today, well, there are just newbie-questions on qb-forums ^^
so there's no point

rico: flaming rom-lemurs for spam wouldnt change a thing, answering them that its illegal, blahblah, that they're on the wrong forum here, blah, etc. in a nice way at least keeps the community being nice and stops ppl from getting used to flaming

so, keep being a nice community, gp32x ^^

Edit: *grrrr* unwanted smilies; BOYCOTT b)-SMILY! XD

ROM "Lemurs"? What is that exactly? Is that some kind of mammal?

That is what I thought, Small mammals wouldn't care about "ROMZ"
 
To reduce the sticky count in General Talk, and because most of the replies are really suggestions, I've moved this to the Suggestion forum.

Personally, I think the flames really have died down a lot.
 
Hello, I supposed its better to say what I want to here than elsewhere.

Right, I came into this community 13 months ago, it was a nice place and I eased myself in reading posts newbies had made and that. Then after several months we all became friends; the chabox crew (or spam as it was then); me, finty, rico, spray, mark... and yes Sam Fisher, MattMagoo etc. It was all good fun even though I had a shite year and this place I was on most of the day, then there where some trolls (im not gonna say who, they know who they are etc) and they for one alienate the newbies who need help and should get it (its not hard to give a few mins of your time to someone who needs it and it feels good helping somone). And they also alienated us regulars, me most of all... infact I visit here mayve once or twice a day (im posting at mrbiffo.com now if any of you guys wanna go there... fun place with alot of pissing about etc).

Also people reasponse to the Zodiac, I know some people posted in the wrong place but you guys treat it like come kind of facist console.. which it isnt.

Sigh.

Love you all still. (plus finty is ace and I got FFX today thanks (took me bloody ages to open it lol, and yes you do Rock :p)).
 
Damn right I rock!

I don't post anywhere except offtopic now, so I don't really see how people treat n00bs, but I think we are pretty friendly.
 
We have some ways to go, but we are an order of magnitude better than most other gaming forums out there. Noobs get ripped to pieces, nobody bothers to help, high post counts are the order of the day, and most important nobody gives a shit about anyone else and no community exists except people trying to ass kiss the mods and admins.

I think that's overly harsh on the community. Noobs are helped, we have no visible post counts and I certainly give a shit about other people; why else would I, and countless others come here?

The communtiy does seem to have changed quite abit since a year ago when I bought mine. On my old profile I gave quite a few public thanks to the ppl 4 helping me get started. I mean I got this for NES games as we thought SNES and GENESIS emulation was impossible. Tbh I'm really pleased with all the hard work and progress this place has seen and now I know a fair bit about the GP, why not return the favour and help ppl in the same sit that I once was in.
As this place has grown, it aint like the good old days bt i still reckon we can all still have a laugh here. (sorry bout the sentimental monologue).
