I think VR topics should go in SNamer, can't be doing with threads for that bollocks on here

...welp, I hope you're looking forward to our new VR sub-forum.

Note: this is a joke.

PSVR is the fastest ever hardware to sell out of preorders, #Futureishere

What Mas doesn't mention is that there were only twelve units available for pre-order.

...and he bought all of them.

I think people will find the conversation and join in, bud. Deep breaths.

Yeah this, just look at the Axiom Verge topic for example.

For all we know, me and Muss are still in the Rift.

So, erm, gents. Awkward suggestion, this, but, er. We've got two stickies in GG that, between them, haven't had a post in three months. I'm kind of thinking they should maybe be unstickied? Perhaps? TRP is dead in the water/lava anyway.

I thought the same only yesterday about TRP.

Sad to unsticky the TRP thread but that I have done. I want to chat to Jay before deciding to unglue the Graphics one because I feel that could be revitalised by ourselves relatively easily. Watch this space!

Sirs! I'm wondering whether is now the time to add a bit more to the injokes section in the FAQs. I know we don't get a lot of new users, but stuff like 'Kid From a To Rose', 'Well Know', the face emoticons (who's Matthew Castle?), anything by Drunka when drunk, the TRP-related ranks... I'm reckoning that could all do with some cleaning up. Just me?

Just you. Having an old injoke explained doesn't make it funny.

Suggestion taken into consideration.

Cheers boss.

They're not going to be funny when unexplained either. I'm just aiming for newbie inclusivity, funny's probably impossible.

I don't want to be inclusive, this is our special cool boys club and I shagged a pig's head to get in here and I'll be damned if the riff raff and every grackler with an itchy sackler can just scroll in here and appropriate our memetic identity.

That was definitely not part of my hazing ritual...

I don't even know what our injokes are.

What's this chat about newbies anyway? Literally one person has joined in 2017, and they didn't even post. We're on the Island of Lost Souls here.

This is more or less my stance on the matter, but it's off to the Admin Suggestion Box nonetheless!

Maybe we should transfer all of this to the GNamer Reddit

I know, I know. I'm just... enduringly hopeful I suppose. Like, if we make this place welcoming enough for new people to stay, some of them will. Even if that's hardly anyone.

So we've decided not to change the FAQ. A big influx of newbies is highly unlikely and we hardly use them anyway, except in transitory ranks. If people want to know, they can ask; we can update the FAQ to reflect that. It's not as if we're going to bite anyone's head off for not knowing about Tenderloin Minimise or whatever...

I could've missed this, but I can't seem to find it on the FAQ. How do you link to a specific forum post from another thread? On the 'Posts Appreciation Thread' people seem to be able to add a hyperlink that'll send you to another thread and directly to the specific post in mind. I'm not sure how to do that (I'm missing something really obvious aren't I?).

You're not, it's a pain. Here's how I do it:

• Go to the thread;
  
• Quote the post;
  
• In the URL, there's something like 'p=...' Copy the number after it;
  
• Go back to the page on which the post is on. Type # at the end, then paste the number.

So your post above is http://messedupcables.forumotion.net/t11p300-forum-suggestions#105925

I've long wondered this, and could never be arsed to learn. Good to know!

Given the recent talk about forums and their positions in the general GNamer structure, I thought again: why don't we just have one big Nintendo forum, like they do at SONM? That'll save us the hassle of deciding what to do with the Wii U forum and the 3DS and Mobile forums: we can merge them into one big glorious Nintendo-filled, action-packed superforum!

Thoughts?

I personally don't like it, as if I want to talk about let's say Tokyo Mirage Sessions on Wii U, I think that would get lost in a big one super forum as most of the talk would be Switch.
