I’m looking for suggestions here. What are some things that can be done in a forum to make it a fun place to be? There are a lot of forums out there and people are only going to sign up and be active in a handful.

What are some things SNES Hub can do to encourage people to sign up and participate for the long term?

Cant really help you with this. Ive come to only contribute when i actually only have something important to say, or have something to ask etc. People more often than not ignore what i have to say in most forums. Perhaps other more imaginative and social members can pitch in here.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, which means i can come across as rigid and overly argumentative. Please try and look past this and contact me if you have a problem with what/how i type. I type and read very literally and use no undertones. Thank you for trying to understand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.....r_syndrome

This contest sure helps.  It would be nice to have different contests a couple times a year, with different themes.

Currently looking for the following SNES games:

Chrono Trigger

EarthBound

Final Fantasy II (Final Fantasy IV)

Secret of Mana

Illusion of Gaia

Super Castlevania IV

Super Mario RPG

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

 Zombies Ate My Neighbors

TMNT IV

Contra III

Perhaps improving load time on the site, but that’s about it. I’m not sure that qualified as fun lol!

Are you experiencing slow down when on the site?

I actually switched to the sky blue theme and load times improved drastically. The only other thing I’ve had trouble with is quoting people. It never works, but it opens up the reply window instead.

Press the quote button of the post you want to quote and type what you want to say in the reply window that opens. After you typed in what you want to say, you can make any edits to the quoted post as needed. Once that’s done hit reply and boom! there you go. smile

I’ve never had a problem with quotes on this site however I did notice some slight slowdown last night but that was probably due to the flood of posts being made simultaneously.

I did some modifications to the server today, so maybe the load times will feel reduced now.
