I find it sad that you find this funny.

The request is valid but some replies in this thread are quite ridiculous and also unfair.

I know, I tried my best to make it a decent cause to no avail. So what exactly is it that you would like to see in order to make this happen Taku?

If it's not too much to ask, would you guys mind explaining to those interested in this, why can't this petition be done?

That was my argument, but then again we have a hyper 64 section with no traffic at all. I say this would be a good sub-forum to the arcade section. Definitely not main page though.

It would have more traffic than certain sections here. There's even a section with 'best of' threads that hasn't been updated since early 2007 that could easily be replaced with the Arcade Market. Hell even this suggestions section should be closed since nothing other than Spam reports are acknowledged. Those could be submitted via PM anyway.

Don't worry, all that power-to-the-people and I-want-want-want crap and fuck-the-lazy-mods doesn't bother me. It's ng.com, after all. :)

Basically I wouldn't mind a dedicated arcade forum in Marketplace but somehow I doubt that the number of arcade sales/offers per month justifies a seperate forum like that. That's all. No evil mod plot or anything.

I can understand your POV on this, I feel that once the forum takes off you're going to see a lot of action out motivation alone. Wes suggested to make a sub-forum under arcade central so it doesn't make the website so cluttered which I think is a prime idea. Would it be possible to give it a test run? and if in 2 months time the traffic seems low we just kill it and move on.

Taku, I honestly think that this would make a difference for all the arcade enthusiats as we don't bother with the "everything else" section ATM 'cause of its current situation.

No one said it was an evil mod plot. What I said at least was that it was being completely ignored. Even if some mods claim to have viewed this thread, the poll and the other threads like it, there was no acknowledgement. FFS man I PM'ed the active mods on this and haven't heard squat on either side of the argument. Then we have some mods that aren't even active in the site at all so THEY aren't for or against the request either. You're the ONLY mod that has come in here and mentioned anything about the topic at hand. Wasabi comes in and posts nonsense posts so its of no help.

It looks like a real election,it doesn't matter who you vote for.

@takumaji: you could have prevented all that crap by giving a reason a little sooner,so don't expect me to feel bad about what i said.
Well,better late then never i guess

Eh?

For the n-th time, we are only moderators here, it's the owner of the site who has the final word on any extension of the current forum structure, specially when it comes to the Marketplace. And as long as Shawn does not show up here and says go, there will be no dedicated arcade sales market, period.

And... ..."prevented"? Dude, when I was a boy my mother told me that in order to get something, you have to ask nicely and not act like a little prick.

The owner of the site.
That never shows up.
Doesn't answer emails.
Isn't active in the site in the least.
Sells stuff that isn't Neo related in the Neo store.

Yeah he should have a huge say in the market place that isn't related to his neo store.

payment due, seriously chill the fuck out. You're annoying enough in the other threads, why do you have to come in here and annoy everyone else?!

Taku: I bet Shawn wouldn't mind having this if he's presented with a reasonable plan. Unofrtunately I'm not that great with words so I think that if we're to reach Shawn we should have someone come up with a nice reasonable petition that we all can agree on, "sign it" and send it to Shawn. Once he sees that everyone that's interested is willing to work together he'll know that it will be asection that won't turn to crap, which is what I think he might be concerened with.

PS: No payment due, not you.

It won't happen so give it a rest. We already have a forum for selling anything non-neo geo related. An arcade sales section would not have the traffic, would take traffic away from other sections, and would be just one more place for spam bots to hide bs threads.

Some ideas seem reallllllly good

then you run out of weed.

Takumaji,i have never had the intention to be an ass about this,sorry if it looked or sounded that way,i used the word prevented cause i didn't know how to say it differently in engrish.It's just that i thought you guys didn't respond to toy around a little.
You have given a reason now i can live with,thank you.

@payment due: in defense of Shawn,he did respond on my email real quick when the boards were down last week and things were up and running really short after that so he does take action when needed.I was the 1st to contact him when they were down for hours but he took immediate action.
So indeed chill out.

What is it exactly that will take traffic away from what sections? I think it would be great if the arcade enthusiasts don't have to filter through hordes of miscellaneous stuff. Also the idea is good and valid weed has nothing to do with it, the bots that mount BS threads mount those pretty much anywhere randomly, just recently they did some in the HNG64 forums.

Thanks NG, can we use that as the arcade realetd sales forum? It would be cool to have that 'cause then given the title only the people interested would use it and avoid all the hassle that is the everything else market.

What a strange comment. We're told the Arcade Market wouldn't have any traffic.

And then we're told -in the same sentence no less- that it will take traffic away from other sections. :spock:

Oh well, I guess we'll just use the joke Zelda forum for arcade markets.
