And Planet Dreamcast is a somewhat 'high-profile' site

Hmmm you already showed me that board before, remember? It was only just over a week ago. There is nothing wrong with the way this forum is run I have seen far worse with many more posters. It is a simple matter of quantity and interest.

Also, as Adidas pointed out, and as jurucyber noted this forum is an end product of a highly popular console portal. It is one of several branches from a very large tree, i.e akin to comparing a shrub with a Redwood.

I am looking at it right now and nothing comes to mind about how I can run this place better. Add a Nav bar? Hmm doubt that would get me many more people somehow, as has been pointed out to me before I need some more content if this site was ever going to be more popular or have an emu news feed.

1. I primarily se this site up as a last attempt to be a refuge for the people of Emux (and myself) who had been left ashore, and after I did that (remember this was just over a month ago!) my mind has since gone blank. I think of it this way, if anyone here was really passionate about this site becoming more popular etc and having more content etc that person would mention it to me yes? As this has not happened yet I remain satisfied also.

2. As you might notice I asked if anyone wanted to be a news poster, there is no way I would even consider attempting to post news wihout at least another person to back me up when I am busy or he is etc, most sites have at least 4.

This site recently went through it's first search engine statement (URL) within time hopefully it should go into a keyword/description statement which might bring a few more people in, but I have as much of a clue as the rest of you really.

Have I missed anything?

I wouldn't be too much help to you on this one, Damian. I get on at 6AM EST to check my email (very briefly, I go to work at 6:30), and then I'm on in the evenings, after all the news has been posted on the other emu sites for almost the whole day already.

I know Ad man, not trying to spruce a guilt trip. Just making a point.

Poll:

What does Spruce mean?

1. Nothing.

Damian why don't you at least put a link to the mame wip page. So some people might have a look though here.

by **Silverhaze** on Sat Jul 07, 2001 8:03 pm

Yeah maybe one or two links to say CPSShock and other places wouldnt go a miss.

by **Damian** on Sat Jul 07, 2001 9:45 pm

Hmm, Ok I'll try. Not sure if Raz liked some of my comments though, and MAME might not list me. Maybe I should wait until I put in the new site design as I think it looks a bit better?
