If you could change one thing about RU - Page 2

**Kugyince** · 05-13-2010, 08:12 PM

A porn section would be nice.

**samejamesbond** · 05-13-2010, 08:13 PM

Why am I not suprised you would say something like that?

**Kugyince** · 05-13-2010, 08:14 PM

8-bit pr0n would rock.

**samejamesbond** · 05-13-2010, 08:27 PM

Like Bubble Bath Babes for the NES?

More extra features for donors. Easier to find a new game you want without searching through a bunch that you don't. Clearer instructions for new people. Better home page.

@Steven. You mentioned game night once before. Scheduling a day to get on chat and fight over some scores. Would probably work good. All the pieces are there, just needs infinitive from someone and participation from everyone else.

**Slime Slayer** · 05-14-2010, 06:51 PM

The game night would be super fun, maybe we should schedule it a few weeks in advance.

Another thing I would change is that somewhere near your avatar your team logo is also displayed like how it used to be.

I think alot of newcomers are oblivious to the fact teams even exist.

The site is pretty good, it's hard to say what I'd change, but probably having more defined sections would be nice.

**Kong** · 05-14-2010, 07:24 PM

Team logos will be added.

For game night something like. Just an example.
Every Wednesday Night at 8PM EST log into chat. Everyone rolls 1 100 side dice. High number picks a game. Everyone plays it once and submits a score - no resetting or starting over. High score gets a point. Brief chat on the finer points of the game. Roll dice again repeat until no one is online. You could pick the same game twice in a row if you wanted to keep pushing the score up.

What do you mean?

One thing that I would change is that it would be cool to have a way to talk with people online other then the PM and trying to find someone on G-talk or whatever messenger that you use.

So kind of like adding a shout box or a IM thing that will let you talk to your friends that are online.

Hope that made sense.

**Slime Slayer** · 05-14-2010, 08:35 PM

You mean like this:? Chat - Retro Uprising

**samejamesbond** · 05-14-2010, 08:37 PM

You got it.

**Demon-Mask** · 05-14-2010, 10:56 PM

I phrased it poorly the first time, but the intended meaning was:
More sections in the forums, with more focused and concise topics, subsections would do a good job of this.
An example would be the debate section, it could be split into subsections for debates pertaining to: environmental, religious, political and other.
The point would be to cut back on the amount of work the mods do, if there are more sections and they are more clearly defined, the amount of threads you have to move or merge will decrease.

**Dudebro** · 05-14-2010, 11:16 PM

I like the idea DM but I don't think we have enough traffic to really need a bunch of subsections. I think the first subsection we will eventually need is religion. It's one of those topics some people like to totally avoid and some people never wanna stop talking about. Other than that I don't think any one topic comes up enough to deserve it's own section. Politics maybe but meh, I hate politics.

**Demon-Mask** · 05-14-2010, 11:26 PM

Exactly the point, if you hate politics, you can avoid the topic entirely if there are subsections.

**Dudebro** · 05-14-2010, 11:34 PM

That's why I winked. I know it's a hot topic much like religion and it will probably get it's own section eventually.

I would like to avoid having heated political debates though because it may attract the wrong crowd. We already had a member who loved annoying political debates and seemingly never played any games and had no real interest. Some people just want a soapbox. The US is so polarized now I just have a bad feeling about encouraging political debates. Religion is always brutal but politics seems to bring out the worst in everyone. Just my thoughts about it.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 05-14-2010, 11:35 PM

One thing i would change about RU is the choices of styles i can pick from no offense to what is there

**Dudebro** · 05-14-2010, 11:37 PM

You mean the forum skins? I never even checked those out until now. I agree a little more variety would be cool.

Yes, more sections is not good. Although a sticky topic that is like an index of the debates would be good. That way people don't start new threads for debates that already exist.

Also an option to choose which forums you want to show when you click "New Posts". I use the New Posts link all the time and I would prefer it hid forum games. I'm sure there are others that would like it to not list some sections such as debates.

I can make that if you want.

**KingRanech** · 05-15-2010, 12:58 PM

Hmm..Maybe returning GBC games?
