Take your post about porting elsewhere.

Postby Matt Keys » Mar 31, 2001 @ 11:22am

For all of you who have posted on the PocketQuake forums begging people to port other games. I would like you all to take your porting post to either the general developer board. Or perhaps another board like brighthands. I get tired of reading the Quake board and all I see is request to post other games. Is Quake so boring that you are so unsatisfied. Ingrateful people! Sorry for having to sound like a prick, but this craze for porting everything is too much.<br>

That's complete bullshit Phat, and you know it, you ask for Pong any chamnce you can, on any board.  And Moose, what is wrong with your Mod powers?  Thay never seem to work.  And Matt, while I agree with you, it's kindof silly to ask anyone to take these porting requests to another part of the board where there's no one to talk with.<br><br>No one is dumping Dans port.  Everyone thinks that PQ is amazing, however most of the common questions about PQ have pretty much been answered in the boards, and while we're waiting for the next version to come out, many people are coming to this popular discussion board to talk about games to be developed for the PPC, possibly because there are many developers that frequent this board, and not the dev board. in fact hers the recent stats  Pocket Quake visitors:  2652 responses 03/30/01 at 19:55:14 <br>General Developer Discussion: 50 responses 03/30/01 at 15:42:58 <br><br>so lighten up. <br><br>But I kinda think that if any more port requests are going to be posted they should be in the "What other games have been ported to the PPC?" thread.<br><br><br>No one visits the other threads unless they want to talk about Dan East and his search for more Tacos and Spacestations. Most of the people on Brighthand boards aren't trying to play games and if they have an answer to the problem, they usually reply with, "well it works fine for me" and then never respond again, while this board people try to solve gaming issues.  If you move this thread, then you might as well move these threads as well: Atari2600 emulator, Request for Descent, What other games have been ported to pocket PC, Wolfenstein3d for PPC, and many many others.  <br><br>I don't mean to piss anyone off, I just wanted to point a few things out.<br>

Dan East goes to the other forums to talk about Tac.. ERRR<br>The point is. It doesn't belong here. We don't have one big long forum, we have seperate boards. (Why do I keep saying we?) So they need to go somewhere else or else 'we' will get mad. And you don't want to see 'us' mad. 'We' can do things when we're mad..<br><br><br><br><br>*poof*<br><br><br><br>

Jaybot,<br><br>I do see you point about wanting to post in the Quake forum because it is more popular. But it is still the "quake" forum, Not the "I'm greedy give me more forum:)" Anyways, the General Developer forum is not as popular now because people automaticaly want to post in the popular one. If you just use the correct forum for your topic, then these boards would be more user friendly and the boards popularity would be more evenly divided.

Thanks a lot. try just downloading the moosemaster.info file (or whatever YaBB names them) and edit it directly. Take your file or 999's file for referense so you know what the things should be, or look through the code. I could help if I had FTP access ;D

Well then heck, let's get started!  Let's start moving all these threads to the "PPC Ports and stuff" forum, and make a thread noting which ones were moved on htis forum.  I'd do it... but I can't.

I will leave the messages about porting games that are here now where they are. People participating in those messages would not know where they are, in the future although I would like to see messages like that in their proper board.<br><br>Thanks

Yeah, that's why I was thinking, why not move them, and them Post a message syaing "These threads have been moved to the 'Ports and Stuff Forum': What other games.. AtariVCS.. Descent Request... Pocket Hexen.. etc... so go there from now on. Thanks"  or something like that.
