    Default Open forum invite

    Hello Sega-16. I have a small but close-knit gaming forum that I'm looking to expand, and figured I'd extend the invitation to everyone here. It's always nice seeing new fans of classic gaming sign up, so anyone looking to add another daily haunt to their list is welcome to stop by and check it out.

    Anyone with forum moderating experience is also appreciated, as we'll likely be looking to add some more admins soon.

    Hope to see some of you there.

    You can visit the forums at www.heypoorplayer.com/forums

    How not at all pretentious. Regardless, thanks for stopping by.

    Insulted by a reference to a Yumekobo shooter? I'm sorry you're so sensitive.

    Funny how a simple invite brings about trolling, if you're not interested, don't join. Anyone who is, cool, it's always good to see new faces to talk about games from all generations.

    It's not a bad forum, but I belong to too many forums already, most for technical reasons. I need a compelling reason to join another forum these days.

    I know what you mean, that's the main reason I haven't done a great deal of pulling people to my own until now. I've cut down on about half of the forums I used to frequent myself just to dedicate more time to the ones that interest me the most.

    Some forums I belong to, I haven't visited in ages. It's especially bad when you have messages waiting... "Sorry I didn't get to this... six months ago."

    Hmm this site seems interesting I'll probably try posting a couple times and see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up.

    It's one of the few boards that's cool enough to carry the Hoff emoticon. That should be reason enough.

    What's the overarching purpose for your forum? Is it to discuss all classic systems in general, or dedicated to a specific manufacturer or generation like Sega-16? The problem I have seen with sites that try to be an all-encompassing classic site is that it is too much to handle well. I participated in one that just bit the dust, largely drawing little interest no matter how hard we tried. The biggest roadblock to that type of site's ultimate success is dedicated fan boys. You see that the warring NES boys want to kill the battle-ready Sega lovers, and they both hate the Atari crowd with a passion. I have seen it all too frequently, even if I don't fully understand it all. Collecting for all the classic systems, I wish we could all just get along.
    It is finished!

    We talk about games, new and old.. don't matter what system. You won't be bothered with fanboy wars or any other form of faggotry/terrorism.

    Yeah, it seems like we're more about the games themselves than the hardware.

    Like dp said it's a small, friendly close-knit gaming forum and new people means new passion...usually
