#129044 The Forums Need Updating, Wii U Is Out Soon

Posted by AMAC on 13 November 2012 - 11:36 PM in Site News and Feedback

I'd just like to point out that there is an IP.Board app for mobile devices and any user who uses this site on their phone's browser should automatically be on the mobile version of the forum, so a specific app for this forum would be unnecessary.

Also, I don't see what getting rid of Wii U Go would achieve in terms of improving the forum. As far as I'm aware, Wii U Go has been around longer than the forum, so I don't see it disappearing at this time.



#128404 Wii U and area 51

Posted by AMAC on 12 November 2012 - 11:35 PM in Wii U Hardware

I stopped reading this that when I saw the suggestion that Miyamoto is an alien. Locking, as I don't see any evidence to suggest that there could be any substance to this rumour.



#126762 still no

Please don't bother making pointless posts/threads just to access the Chat. Your posts will only be deleted and your post count modified.



#125280 Barack Obama re-elected.

Posted by AMAC on 06 November 2012 - 11:41 PM in The Café

I'm glad Obama won. He hasn't had the best four years, but I think a lot of America's problems have come as a result of George Bush's presidency which many have blamed Obama for. I think that America will be better off with a other four years of Obama and hopefully he'll be able to really get Obamacare going (I still don't see why so many are against having free healthcare) as well as fix the economy.



#124346 nasty nintendo rumor

Posted by AMAC on 04 November 2012 - 01:12 PM in General Gaming

Please don't bother creating threads about rumours with nothing to back them up. Locking.



#122413 Is the Wii U Really a Graphical Jump Over the PS3 & 360?

Posted by AMAC on 29 October 2012 - 08:47 AM in Wii U Hardware

Locking at the request of the OP.



#122083 Recent Staff Changes

Posted by AMAC on 28 October 2012 - 12:58 AM in Site News and Feedback

As I'm sure some of you will have noticed by now, there have been a few changes to the moderating team recently. Firstly, Brian6330 is no longer a moderator as he resigned from the position a few weeks ago.

This, combined with the upcoming release of the Wii U, has meant that we felt there should be a couple of new mods. After discussing this with Andy and Joshua, we've decided to appoint both Mournblade and Crackkat as our new moderators. The two of them now have full moderator powers and able to give out warnings/punishments if they have to.

Congratulations guys, I, sure you'll both do a great job at moderating!



#119966 Career Thread

Posted by AMAC on 21 October 2012 - 10:38 AM in The Café

I'm going to be studying economics at uni next year (if everything goes to plan), so I'll probably end up with a career in finance or banking. It might not be the most interesting industry, but you can earn a lot from it. I'd also like to have some sort of job in Formula 1 for a few years after I graduate, but it probably wouldn't be a long term thing.



#118638 Let's Get Stupid: Le Forum Awards Edition (ft. Chaotix)

Posted by AMAC on 18 October 2012 - 12:00 AM in The Café

Personally, I don't have any issue with these awards, although I'm moving thread to the Cafe.



#117149 canceled games chat

Posted by AMAC on 13 October 2012 - 10:41 AM in General Gaming

Locking this thread, I don't see much point in a thread that's full of screenshots without any proper discussion.



#116914 EA being shady with FIFA13

Posted by AMAC on 12 October 2012 - 10:22 AM in General Gaming

The 3DS version has also been a major disappointment. Since getting it, I've found that the kit and roster updates are not working, meaning that I have effectively been left with a half finished game. I've tried contacting EA and was promised a response within 24 hours, but four days later I've still not heard back.

It's pretty clear that EA only care about the Xbox/PS3/PC when it comes to FIFA, and I doubt I'll be forking out £35 for FIFA Games in the future. I don't understand why they continue to put no effort into other consoles because from what I've heard, FIFA still sells pretty well on consoles like the Wii and Vita.

Edit: I've actually just read on another forum that the 3DS updates are now working, although apparently some lower-league teams still don't have official kits. Still, it's taken almost two weeks for the issue to be resolved.



#116491 The Lifespan of the Wii U Forums.

Posted by AMAC on 10 October 2012 - 12:37 PM in Site News and Feedback

I don't know what Feld0's plans for the future are, but if he decides to have a forum for Nintendo's next console, I imagine he would simply rename this current one.



#116398 rare wii u on ebay!

Posted by AMAC on 09 October 2012 - 10:40 PM in Wii U Hardware

It's pretty clear that you won't actually be getting the Wii U early. There are plenty of people selling Wii Us on sites like eBay, so I'm locking this thread.



#116100 Where are the moderators?

Posted by AMAC on 08 October 2012 - 10:38 PM in Site News and Feedback

Unfortunately, we aren't able to read every single thread on the forum, so sometimes we will miss things like this. If you want a thread to be locked/deleted, the best thing to do is report it or send a PM to one of use and we'll deal with it when we're next online.

As for new mods, I don't think that we need any right now, but I'll definitely consider appointing more if this place starts getting significantly busier as we near the Wii U's launch.



#115955 PETA is at it again.....

Posted by AMAC on 08 October 2012 - 12:46 PM in The Café

I don't understand why anyone would like PETA. I'm all for animal rights, but PETA are a bit of a joke and they seem to be more concerned about gaining publicity than helping animals. There are lots of much smaller organisations out there that do a lot more to help animals and don't waste their resources making flash games.



#113436 SCANDALOUS! Fifa 12 and Fifa 13 Wii comparison

Posted by AMAC on 28 September 2012 - 11:17 AM in General Gaming

It's not a huge surprise. The new 3DS version at least has new backgrounds and there seem to be a few minor adjustments, but other than that it's the same game with updated rosters.



#113140 PsVita Discontinue Year

Posted by AMAC on 27 September 2012 - 08:09 AM in General Gaming

I doubt the Vita will be discontinued. It's not been a huge success so far, but it hasn't been a complete flop either and it still has plenty of time to become a successful handheld. I hope it isn't discontinued, because I would quite like to get one someday.



#113139 Halloween is coming! What will you do?

Posted by AMAC on 27 September 2012 - 08:04 AM in The Café

It's a weeknight, so I'll probably be doing homework, watching TV and everything else I normally do. I might also have to give sweets to any kids who come to our house.



#113138 Post what you last ate..

Posted by AMAC on 27 September 2012 - 08:00 AM in The Café

A BLT sandwich.



#112298 Youtube Help (PLEASE READ)

Posted by AMAC on 24 September 2012 - 07:20 AM in The Café

Locking, as there is an existing thread for YouTube channels:

#111495 violent mario game?

Posted by AMAC on 22 September 2012 - 12:19 PM in General Gaming

Mario should never appear in a game more violent than SSB. Nintendo aren't going to make a Mario game that would have an age rating of more than 7+.



#110057 Self Topic Delete or Lock

Posted by AMAC on 19 September 2012 - 01:13 PM in Site News and Feedback

I'd rather not allow all members to delete their own threads as I can see some members locking their own threads simply because other members have disagreed with them. If you have a legitimate reason for a thread to be locked/deleted you can report it and one of us will deal it with reasonably quickly.

As for the chatbox, I don't know of any option to ignore other users. If someone is spamming, all you can do is report them and if I think they've broken the rules, they'll normally be banned from the Chat.



#107822 NO SONY!

Posted by AMAC on 15 September 2012 - 12:38 AM in Site News and Feedback

We're not having a "no Sony" policy here. It may be a Wii U Forum, but there's no reason for other members not to discuss other consoles. If you unable to have mature discussions about Sony, then just ignore threads about them, rather than making pointless posts bashing Sony.



#107055 hi

Posted by AMAC on 13 September 2012 - 01:13 PM in Introduction Central

Locking as there isn't much point in welcoming him anymore.



#106110 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Posted by AMAC on 11 September 2012 - 12:22 PM in The Café

Can we stop arguing about whether bronies are weirdos and leave this thread for discussion of the show? The anti-pony arguments are getting repetitive and boring now, and this thread is close to breaking rule 2 of this forum. If you have a problem with ponies, then don't post in this thread.
