Fierce_LiNk Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hmm, to be honest, I feel it would be a bit wrong to ban or delete the people who haven't posted. For one thing, it gives you a good indication of how popular the site is. About 40 or so people joined the site for the Mario Strikers tournament alone, about 20 have joined in the last week or so. It gives you a good idea of how well the site is doing. I think Cube-Europe had about 10,000 or something members? Well, we're a third of the way there, so it's good to keep a comparison with the then and now. Not only that, but they're effectively "members" of this place, and they're showing their support by signing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 actually he has a point most people who don't use n-e regularly (i mean the main site and blog ect not just the forum) don't register so the member list of the forum is kinda like the member list for the site. speaking of sections of the main site how come there hasn't been a podcast for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 speaking of sections of the main site how come there hasn't been a podcast for a while It's been the exam period here, so everyone, Uni students downwards, has been revising. I reckon they'll be one soon. Talking of the podcast, is it staff only, or are (well established) forumites allowed on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 No. Signing up is easy. It's the posting which will show their true support. If they sign up they've shown that they support NE as they have to give us thei email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 that dosen't mean they support ne it just means they trust you with their e-mail which could easily be some yahoo/hotmail account just made for the purpose of signing up for things they're not sure about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Is there any way we could increase the size of the avatars slightly to maybe 30KB or 40KB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Is there any way we could increase the size of the avatars slightly to maybe 30KB or 40KB? We've argued about this before... I reckon they should be bigger, but only say, 25kKB. 30 or 40 is a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 We've argued about this before... I reckon they should be bigger, but only say, 25kKB. 30 or 40 is a bit much. And I proved, with pictures, that it doesn't need to be that big. Just use photoshop (or similar) to decrease file size. It takes a very fine eye to notice the difference.

Fanelia Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Here's a suggestion from someone who visits the site (not the forum though) a few times a day. remove the banner with the soundproducing smileys or what not. seriously. "hey," and "helloooo" and "oh my god" and "no waaay" everytime i change frames or tabs on safari or what not the smileys make some fucking noise. It vexes me. Not to the point that I would concider staying away from the site, but I do tend to curse at the fuckers. as proven right now. Or at least have some giant red button next to the banner that says "click here, and shut these fucking smileys the fuck up! forever! cookie based silence!" smileys should be asci or non-existent. this sound-thing is a negative evolution. so what's next, some asshole types a smiley on the north pole and there's snowflakes on my keyboard. oh, and there's something else. why are reviews on games always released some months after the game comes out? so now there's this preview on resident evil 4 on the site. but the game is already out. so i'm guessing the review is written whenever the fuck. thanks for listening.

blender Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Why dont you use affiliate links for retailers in the bargain forum. The money raised can pay my appearance fees (market rate = £3.50 per post & £6 per topic started) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 thats the other problem this is my original avatar the vBuliten system always screws up the transparency how do i save the image so it dosent do this also you need to ban chuck from the mac thread as he keeps coming in just to make trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 No clue, It should work fine. Of course the jagged edges are there b'cos it's a .gif. Since .png is too large for these forums and .gif has the rough edge the best best is to go for the "transparent look" and use the following: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conzer16 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Can I suggest that the e3 header you have on the forum and mainsite remains with a slight adjustment - the e307 taken off it? Its a savage peice of artwork! Any chance of a 1280x800 wallpaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Is it possible to get a heading for the DS Wi-Fi Friend Codes for the profile under each users avatar? At the moment it looks like this... I know it's nothing much but it just kinda makes it look like you've randomly shoved it in there, if it just said "DS Friend Code:" or something similar like it has for the Wii code or Xbox Live then it would look a lot better.

Emasher Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 There's been to much spamming in the mac thread recently. we need a mod specifically assigned to watch that thread as i don't think McPhee has been paying much attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Stop telling the mods how to do their job. And just because you don't agree with some fella's opinion on bloody apple doesn't mean he's spamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
