So does this mean I can post the rest of this set?

Link is broken btw.

Uh... no, it definitely isn't.

it most certainly is.

Nope, it defiantly works.

Check the URL. It's localhost, which means it's hosted on a local hosting environment (someone's computer). Most of the time it's used as a test environment for development, but IIRC it's also used with TOR to connect to not-so-nice websites.

Maybe speed them up to x2 speed or something? I mean they're both a half hour long, I think.

#Shitposting

Deci, hurry. I think everyone is F5ing in here waiting for the stream.

just make sure cheat is the evil, greedy jew that's the antagonist of the story

I was going to request this, actually.

I looked at some of Ryle's posts yesterday and saw the blacklisted bar. I thought he was perma'd and I was pretty confused.
He's fine though, thankfully.

Did you see yourself as blacklisted?

He probably used the nameplate with Impostor.

No.

Or you can emulate anything pre-DS and just buy yourself a 3DS.

Emulate anything that came out before Diamond and Pearl (FireRed/LeafGreen/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald).

What is an emulator and what does it do?

It's a downloadable program for your PC that allows you to emulate a game's ROM for free.

It's stealing.
As in, illegal.
As in, bad.

Don't do it if you have any self-respect.

It's not illegal to play a ROM of a game you own, IIRC. That's the reason that site for ROM downloads wasn't immediately nuked.

Yeah pretty much, since you can theoretically make your own ROM without much of an issue playing a ROM of a game you already own is fine.

I used to play pokemon emulators when I'd lost the cartridges, I could have easily downloaded the ROMs for the most recent 3DS games at the time too, but I don't think that's right (nor is it legal) given that I didn't own them myself. Now that I do, I could but I'd rather play them on the 3DS anyway <.<

But yeah, emulators aren't inherently wrong at all.
If you are using them to avoid paying for content, then yeah that's obviously bad.

Unfortunately, due to Nintendo policy, it's still a big fat no no.

From Nintendo's corporate information page:

Spoiler

There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.

So no, it is still very much illegal to own and use Nintendo ROMs. Emulators themselves are a grey area, and you won't get in trouble for having them. But ROMs are clearly labeled within copyrighted domain.

Riiiiight. Ok. Well that's kind of lame, then.

If you own the games and have a cartridge-to-PC cable, though, you're allowed to rip them as long as you don't have to get around a DRM (if I'm reading everything correctly).

I was the same way. Eye contact wasn't natural to me and felt uncomfortable for whatever reason, but I trained myself to just do it since it's apparently important.

Nsider, the old Nintendo forums back at the start of the Ruby/Sapphire era. It was a lot nicer community than The Flood of old, but then again, these were Nintendo fanboys, so...

That was the first forum I participated on and I no-lifed the hell out of it posting as often as I could. That's actually the place my current handle comes from; shame they shut it down for a "tech support" forum. I'd probably still be there infrequently if it had continued.

Some friends and i were gonna watch it yesterday but ended up picking Man from Uncle.

I straight up tell people to just skip Fantastic 4% on Rotten Tomatoes and watch the 2005 version. It's really bad.

I actually felt a moment of panic. Now I want to ban you.

Yes. It's very good and the soundtrack kicks ass.

He's not on anywhere as frequently as he used to be, but I still see him posting here every so often. He's not dead or anything.

We don't have the population for groups to work right without them killing the forums. Bnet has the population for groups to be active along with the forums as well. The only thing they would do is split up the population on a site that has hardly anybody to begin with. The other thing is that groups are going to be pointless until we get a population due to there being a decent amount of groups with hardly anybody posting in them. One group may have most of the population posting in it and for the others they are just there taking up space.

I feel like I've regurgitated the answer to this concern like 10 times. I'm not about to risk the forum for groups.

so what is your big solution to prevent groups killing the mains?

I...don't...let them kill the mains?

Groups will be beta tested with established groups on Bnet that I can rope into testing. Those will be the only groups on here for a good while and they will be invite only while the bugs are squashed and I get feedback from group owners on what they need and what needs changed. Assuming these groups will share population spikes similar to Anarchy, I'm banking on getting some members from those groups to stick around in the mains.

From there, groups will be opened to high-ranking members on an application/approval basis so I can control the population flow and cut them off if it dips in the mains. Later on, like...months on, they will be opened up to the public like you guys have been assuming I'd do from the start.

Simplified version: I will pay attention and not let them kill the mains.
