Game / Console Section.

I have noticed as of late there have been a few suggestions for a Game / Console subforum to be created, as it appears a few of us grey beards enjoy the odd game.

So i figured i would start this thread insert a Poll and suggest that we get ourself's a Game / Console area. At least this way we have someplace to talk about that sort of stuff.

anyhow i am proposing something similar to this>

Off-course we could also have a section for those that play WoW or other MMO or RPG also. :)

anyhow cast your vote :thumbsup: and hopefully we can get ourselves a game area. :2pick:

Tried to vote "Yes". Got "wiskic10_4, you do not have permission to access this page" or some such error. :rolleyes:

Way it goes around here sometimes... :p ;)

Hmmmm,

There is a problem with this thread. When I voted it took me to an old thread with nothing to do with the subject.

We had this once before..........it's something to do with the changes in vB's referencing when we finally escaped from JPV's bastardised version.

The solution, as I recall was to create a new thread.

HYBR|D, can you create a new thread mate...........then I can migrate the posts?

I will comment more fully when we have a properly working thread, but I will say that you need a general section for PC and online games, rather than just hardware specific ones? :)

I already said yes. It was my idea, so I'm obviously going to vote for it.

I don't think Console games should be the only one though, nor should RPGs, lol. I hate most RPGs and mainly like FPS, and in particular, I like the Unreal and Unreal Tournament Series, and then the id Software stuff.

I wanted to say this long back.. but why cant we have *something(s)* from the past..

Lets have an AO official team just for the sake of playing..

I can join CS, DoTa, Warcraft and many more... LETS THE FREAKING START AGAIN !


PS: Studying for CISSP-ISSEP and CCIE - Security.

I'd do AO team for UT ;) I've got one saved game where I have almost 2,000 kills and like 3 deaths.

LOL. Unreal Tournament freaking rules. For some reason it is sluggish on Win7 though... Maybe I should try compatibility mode. I am stuck on older games for some reason. I have been playing a lot of Mortal Kombat, Doom[2], Wolf3D, Pole Position, Mappy, DigDug, PacMan etc. It seems the older games just have a better feel to them. Don't get me wrong, I love the occasional game of CoD... :)

That last time I played a video game was maybe five years ago. I couldn't help but feel how dumbed down or short games where compaired to what I grew up with.

The freedom of movement and the non-linear storys bring nothing but a sense of cheapness to games. Side scrolling and topdown games not only limited your movement... but you where actually given a goal to accomplish with very limited ways of doing it.

Spec.. have you played Test Drive Unlimited ?

Play DooM, and get yourself a copy of either Ass Jack, or Damn Right, Rebel Proud, and play that really Loud.

And you damn well better know what that is. Same guy sings and if you don't know who that is I'm gonna kick you in the balls.

Loud...

The short story is that he started a *nix thread, a few members posted correct information but he started he's usual douchebaggery of *nix and got called out on a few things and he deleted the thread, t34b4g5 had already made a copy of the thread via the in-line moderation tools.
Thread got copied back and neg got called out further he then deleted the thread again and the copied version and randomly started logging in being a douche
MsMittens called him and he wouldn't give a direct answer to what was up just that he wanted he's account banned.

Steve,

It has always been a "feature" of vBulletin that you can't resign, retire, be closed, or even downright die!..................the only option is to "ban" an account.

I find this a glaring demonstration of unprofessionalism on the part of Jelsoft Enterprises.................hell! we are at version 3.8.4

"Banned" doesn't look good, so people who might politely take their leave of a site, will not do so?................a lot of recruiters look at the internet and ask questions about site memberships..............if you are banned, will they know that is Jelsoft's lack of subtlety?...............I doubt it.

I do not think it would be rocket science to add a few more descriptors to match an account status?

Ack phutt! as Bill the cat would say :)

Johnno the function to create "Retired" useraccount settings has always been available. All the admin of the site needs to do is create a new usergroup and select the relevant permission settings and then assign the useraccount into that new usergroup as the primary usergroup.

Screenshots from a vb 4.0 setup ( Similar settings in vb 3.8.* versions also).

Ooooooooo! I didn't know that.........

I am afraid I am still somewhat locked into the bastardised v2.x version that we used to run, mindset :(

Sooooo.................."Spat his dummy and jumped out of the pram" would also be possible?

How many characters are you allowed in the group descriptor? :lildevil:

hey Nihil, your your PM's. ;)

YeS, It Will....
I think it will Be work better than previous

Spec.. have you played Test Drive Unlimited
