a Youtube version of this movie was made, but the quality of it turned out to be bad

Even at 480x360 ("high quality")?

If I wanted to post a fan-fiction here, where would I post it?

IRC? I don't know if it belongs in the forum or the website...

well, I am very disappointed about the response to this release!

Lack of information?

If it helps - these 'variables' are small RAM cells in the processor.

Front Page News / Re: Site: RHDN 3rd Anniversary Reflection

« on: December 24, 2008, 08:01:28 am »

Massive influx of useless new people who don't read rules, post 1 or 2 useless posts, and never come again, is one example. It starts to become a burden to handle these people and has a negative effect on the atmosphere here. The larger the site, the larger this problem becomes. But that's not what disappointed me. What disappoints me is that despite large amounts of people, there is still lack of a real community. In fact, there's less of one than there was before. That begs the question of; do RHDN visitors even want a community?

The only thing that has changed is the percentage between visitors and regulars. Don't look at the percentage, look at the people. There was a community when RHDN started, and that is still the case.

We've spent time on features such as the community database which has huge potential to be enhanced into something grand like personal status pages for all community members. We've also added user reviews. Hardly anybody uses either of them.

The problem is visibility. The most visible and therefore active part is the forum. Anything that is on separate pages, or even in the forum's backlog, has a hard time attracting views. Connecting the "backend" with the "frontend", so to speak, requires a lot of effort.

One example where it works is tasvideos.org, which automatically creates a forum thread when a speedrun is submitted to the site. Visitors then use this thread for comments. (Not saying that this must be used for RHDN, it's just one observation.)

Massive amounts of people come here for a single useless post or two and never come back.

Not much we can do about that, though. That's just how people are.

I wasn't being serious (note the at the end of the post).

It's not really a smiley that indicates that, imo - it's a bit ambiguous.

That is a total lie. [...] It is not a one way street and I am insulted by that being a user myself.

Oh please. Disch was just stating his point of view.

I won't put myself in a position of potential helplessness.

*shrug* The only way to do that is to not release anything.

Digital material, just like scientific formulas, can't be owned like physical objects. You can't really control how it's used; you can only have your name attached to it.

Once something is released...It's out in the open.

If someone wants to mantain control over something, host it yourself so you can pull the plug yourself

Seconded.

Are you guys serious!? This is a joke, right!?

It's a compromise. And when will you actually need to remove stuff?

Won't the larger font also need the extra symbols - or is it not finished yet?

Adobe is mocking me! The file opens fine in the browser, but the text disappears once I open the PDF in Reader. Weird...

Tried Foxit Reader?

In the original the base of the text is aligned towards the bottom - in the current version it's erratic. You could pull all the characters a bit down so that the blue background is not so visible? Maybe the Helirin thing could stay at that position, I don't know.

I guess the letters could be made thicker (towards the center), but it's also fine as is.

Tried the latest version? There's also been some development with TAS SNES9x lately, so they might help there, too.

And of course there's ZSNES...
