Hey where were you guys when I was the cannon fodder?

I knew I wasn't the only one who wasn't drinking the "it's so much better" kool-aid.

Maybe you guys just know better than to waste your time, which I can't really blame you for. See, now people are telling me I'm like Cain. And I shall revel in my infamy...

This thread is pretty much a waste of time, but it's entertaining. Tails and Dev, if you have a problem with me posting here, why are you even reading it? It's kind of hypocritical of you to condemn me for posting here when you're doing nothing but egging on my responses. Just kinda how I see it.

You're pretty much wrong. All the forums and subforums were in the dropdown menu.

Whether or not you liked using, or thought the dropdowns were easy to use, is a matter of opinion. You obviously weren't well versed with using them. But your opinion is duly noted. Cheers~

Pretty much, yeah. Nothing would've come from posting in the middle of all that, so why bother?

Besides, I've already expressed my dislike of the new system in this thread and other places before it. I know several people who felt the same way, but didn't bother saying anything in the threads because of all the flaming and such against anyone who doesn't think this change is the greatest thing ever.

So Guru is more like Sass than Cain, because he's speaking up for the scared masses who are afraid of being shouted down by the most vocal members of the forums.

Also, I like how you guys say Guru doesn't like the new setup because he hasn't been here for a few months. Last I checked I've been around here pretty recently and don't like the setup a whole lot. :tpg:

I've already explained the Cain reference. The showing up out of nowhere and being pretty demanding thing was what I was refering to, not the him being stubborn thing, and I already told Guru in a PM I retract the statement.

Yeah. Me and Skills are cool now. Much <3 CS~

Just wanted to say that the updated Icons for the different systems are a very nice touch.

Seconded. The new icons look fanstastic, kudos to whoever made them.

yep those are nice, the general one and multi system are not as good as the others but I suspect that they will change soon enough ^^

Yeah, those were made by Paco for the frontpage reviews. They're pretty much temps until we see what Electric Sheep comes up with. The "General" tag is a temp tag made by JazzFlight.

I like the icons, they're quite flashy. Almost seem a LITTLE big though, would it be possible to have the option for a reduced size or even text tag in their place? I thought they'd be in a column the size of thread status row when I first heard the idea.

Oh, and this is a total nitpick, but shouldn't Twilight Princess have the Multi tag since it's on both Gamecube and Wii?

Ha, that's an interesting point considering its Nintendo Multiplatform.

I'm flattered you Blah actually USED my icons. <3

Anyway, here's a couple more for the prefixes I didn't do because I was too busy making Wonderswan and N-Gage icons.

I also cleaned up that Multi-system icon because it looked fucking indecipherable, at least now it has a bit of offset depth to it.

Along the same line, the Guilty Gear XX AC thread should also be tagged Multi. Except we're allowing specific console threads for multiplatform titles.

Maybe there should be a clarification or guideline of sorts (if there isn't one already).

Hmm, maybe we can figure something out. Putting a "multi" on a game that's just on different Nintendo platforms doesn't seem right.

And...the controversies with the tagging starts.

Mark it!

Was so easy to just dump them in the general forum before =P

(Ok ok, low blow. I'm just posting this for fun anyway.)

Unlike you, Guru, I doubt anyone's going to make a big stink about something as small as this. We'll get through it I imagine!

I just have a suggestion that might make 360 Gamertags, PS3 Network IDs, and Wii Codes easier.

I know that on some other forums that I’ve been to, they have a section in the profile setup where users can enter their ID for each specific console they may have, and it will automatically add them to a list showing everybodys IDs.

While I think that the system that we have in place right now is just fine, I think that it may be easier for whoever may be in charge of gathering each individual members system ID and adding them to the list. It may also even encourage more/new users to sign up who may have missed the designated stickied thread.

I don’t know. Just thought it was a nice little feature that I’ve seen before.

That sounds interesting. Like an automated usergroup for convenience. I kinda lost track of what your point was though. Like, does someone adding their ID to this thing for each specific console he owns enable them to see the relevant threads or what?

I think what he's describing is a thread/place where you can see a list of all the people who filled in those "online console codes" things in their profile, which is updated automatically as new people add it to their profile. It sounds like a good idea to me, perhaps there could even be a link to the complete list from the profile page?

While that might work great for 360 and PS3 it's worthless for Wii and DS b/c Nintendo is an idiot at online gaming and we just can't put up Friend Code sections for every game in your profile. Or can we? Still, it seems dumb. I dunno.

Maybe a checkbox for whether you want a link to the GFWiki Friend Code page in your profile? I wouldn't mind having a fast link like that anyway.

Well, here. I don’t think I explained it very well. I’ll use EvilAvatar as one of the examples where I have seen it:

LOL it's part of the Edit Profile page for BlueBomber at EvAv:

...aaaannnnd The resulting PSN ID page!:

I guess all this really accomplishes is neater/easier organization and maintenance of the Online ID’s for forum members. I think it may also attract more people to share their ID’s as well, especially if they see a section for it when they initially set up their profile. I don’t know how the whole Friend Code thing works for the Wii, as I have yet to see one in a store :(.

Anyways, it’s still just a suggestion, and I have no idea how hard it would be to actually implement, or if anybody would even want to implement it for that matter.

EDIT:
Yeah. Surasshu pretty much got it. Didn't see that earlier.

With the DS we do get a code per game (which is super, super lame), but isn't the Wii friend code universal? Then again I've never played an online game on the Wii. For some reason. =D

So far it's the same bullshit Friend Code crap for the Wii as well. Pokemon Stadium 47 and Mario Extreme Kick the Ball At Your Face Hey We're All On Fire both use individual Friend Codes. Nintendo is so inept.

What the hell are these friend code things? Don't tell me that it's the code for EACH INDIVIDUAL WII GAME people play!?
