gavin19 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 correct I was talking in an earlier post about a few years back when 1emu had it's own DC hubs, 6 or so IIRC. But then the whole filesharing thing was deemed unacceptable and as having a negative impact on the site's 'legitimate' emulation credentials. I do agree on more IRC activity though.

ken_cinder Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'll throw down on the table what GoRDoOnE brought up. We need Next-Gen (Or rather current now) forums. We also need to clean up the index page clutter. Get rid of the damn individual forum display and go with Corporate Parent Forums. I'm so sick of having to scroll 100 miles to get to the bottom of the page that I don't bother anymore, and NO I don't want to minimize any of the CATS. I'm sure alot would agree with me on this one.

Ayur Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Since we entered that partnership thing with the DS flashcard company, you could place those topics in a members-only (to view), with a 1-post requirement to view (so they at least post in the "Hi" thread or something). This makes more members, more posts, and gives an incentive for them to actually be active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 So, this is my first post on 1emu in about a year. Hi, everyone. The main reason I stopped posting and regularly visiting the site is the same reason the site traffic is going downhill: The emulation scene is dying. I first came here when Chankast was released. The dreamcast scene was in full swing, and 1emu was one of the main sites for it. However, since then, the emulation scene has declined. With most of the older systems fairly perfected in emulation, there simply aren't enough developments happening to support a lot of posts. There's no easy way to fix things and magically bring in lots of traffic. I see two routes for the site. First, accept the fact that emulation has a much smaller audience than it used to, and just try to be the best emu site out there to attract that niche market. I'd start by making a more presentable portal page. The current one is just an outgrowth of the forum. It should be the other way around. While I wouldn't suggest outright copying a successful site (like say, qj.net), I would at least try and make it a bit more Web 2.0. A nice new non bboard based design for the entry page could go a long way to snaring repeat customers whenever the site gets digged. Another option would be to try something radical to reinvigorate the emulation scene. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to practically do this. Without new systems being emulated, there's not much to bring new users to the scene. Maybe start a prize fund for the first person to get X system or game emulated or something? Or more realistically, a prize for homebrew development for emulated systems? Myself, I'm back because I recently bought a PSP, and it has an active homebrew/emulation scene going on. So I'll hang around and see if I can't answer some PSP questions from time-to-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Perhaps 1emu should become an image board. 1emuchan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
