Shall we reset the arcade scores?

[Typhoid]

I think the arcade layout needs an overhaul, while the topic is up.
It looks so messy and un-appealing right now.
It needs to look more linear.
Instead of having each game have a giant block, 4 a row, maybe one on top of the other, with a picture to the left, and maybe the top three highschores to the right.
Something a little "neater".


Also we need a Helicopter game again.
Maybe a mini-golf game, and the high score will be the least amount of strokes.
Remove that one game that doesn't calculate scores.
Remove the games nobody plays (unless it's duck hunt, because then I'll kill you).

Unfortunately, the format is static because it's a plug-in for vBulletin. I would have a field day with it if I knew how.

[Typhoid]

I thought you were able to tweak Vbulletin though, to affect layouts and stuff?

[GameMaster]

1. Is our vBulletin the latest version?

2. Assuming it's possible, has there ever been thought about switching to the open-source phpBB forums?

[Dyne]

1. No, we're like 4 versions behind as far as I know.

2. Hahahahahahahaha. (Not really.)

So does it cost to upgrade? There's probably cool new features and ticks we're missing out on. If money is an obstacle, let's throw a PayPal donation button up here somewhere. I've got an economic stimulus check from the government just waiting to be tossed to the wind.

I don't know much about vBulletin or phpBB. Were you laughing because my question was ludicrous or is phpBB really bad?

[Dyne]

phpBB is terrible. I can't remember one offhand that hasn't been hacked or invaded by bots. It simply doesn't have neither the support nor the technology to be really good.

No, it doesn't cost anything to upgrade - we just need Neo to do it.

Oh man, I love finding random abandoned forums that have been invaded by spam bots. Spam bots are like herpes, once you have them they're there to stay forever.

By the way, what amazing drug was Joeiss smoking when he rocked that Tetris score? I swear he spent at least 3 hours playing to achieve that score.

There's this forum I post in, and it sort of got a little vacant.
And the spam-bots that invaded that forum were really smart, it was scary.

They were talking...to each other, and having actual conversations about mundane things, added eachother to their friend list, and were attempting to set up arrangements to go for coffee, before one of them seemingly malfunctioned and spouted off his love of cheaply priced video game consoles that are purchasable online.

I think we need to make Connect 2 calculate scores. I don't want to see it go though. I just want it to work, damnit!
