General Chat / Journalists Unite \ State of Handheld Industry
« on: April 30, 2004, 06:55:41 PM »
http://www.gcadvanced.com/article.php?artid=1793&pg=1&comments=

PGC's Jonathan Metts, as well as people like Steven Kent and Seth Walker are featured in Journalists Unite.

Also there is the State of The Handheld Industry roundtable... Mat Hopwood of Pocketeers, Apex Design's James Daniels, and more.

Definitly something everyone should check out.

NWR Feedback / 1 Minute Edit Delay
« on: July 05, 2003, 09:40:38 PM »
I've noticed that there is a 1 minute delay between posts and edits.

While I realize and like the 1 minute delay between posts [it helps slow down spambots], I am wonering why a 1 minute delay for edits is needed.  Often I would like to edit a post just to fix a typo or something, but I don't bother because the delay slows it down.

NWR Feedback / PGC Issues
« on: July 04, 2003, 07:49:07 PM »
Recently, I, and a lot of other people I have talked to are having issues with Planet GameCube, as well as its forums.

At times the site will not load at all -- as if it is down.  In addition, it doesn't respond to ping, so that means it probably is down, unless it is set to not respond to ping.  However, this happens really frequently.

When the site does work, a lot of times there are connection refused errors.  Like 50% of the time I click something [it just happened when I tried to post this new thread.]

General Chat / Hacking Set for Sunday
« on: July 02, 2003, 12:26:31 PM »
Reports of of multiple sources sare saying that Sunday will be a day to look out for terrorists -- online.

It is said that a large number of hackers are planning to attack thousands of websites worldwide over a six hour period Sunday. This could cripple the internet. Luckilly, it is a weekend, not a normal business day, and a holiday weekend. Even so, businesses will be hurt, and it looks like many sites, even gaming sites are going to be attacked.

This will only make PGC's DoS problems worse.  This will really suck for people like me who use the internet a lot.

Nintendo Gaming / Game Boy Elite = FAKE
« on: June 17, 2003, 04:49:25 PM »
Recently Spong.com and Nintendojo talked about a new Game Boy Elite.

Well, this is a case where their news is wrong.

The patent is correct... however, the patent in question regards the current GAME BOY ADVANCE and it's linking to NINTENDO GAMECUBE.

It has nothing to do with a new GBA platform.

NWR Feedback / Server Problems?
« on: June 17, 2003, 04:47:11 PM »
Are you still having server problems at PGC?

I'm noticing the media viewer (that thing is pointless in my view, having a straight link to download is faster and easier for readers like me) acting slow.

Also, the forums seem a bit slow.

General Chat / Rick Powers; Jonathan Metts Interviewed
« on: May 10, 2003, 07:13:50 PM »
Though everyone might want a heads-up on this.

GameCube Advanced has interviewed two Planet GameCube staffers, Jonathan Metts and Rick Powers.  The interviews can be read right here, along with the interviews of Steven Kent, Ethan Peason, and Tim (Cube Europe director).  Plus there are a couple others.

General Chat / Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater TEASER MOVIE
« on: May 09, 2003, 05:39:23 PM »
Everyone will want to know this (PGC hasn't posted it yet, but hopefully they will.).

METAL GEAR SOLD 3: SNAKE EATER -- A teaser video HAS LEAKED.  The 1 minute, 15 second trailer is just 2.13 MB in size, using Windows Media Player 9 codecs.  You can get it right here.

NWR Feedback / Colors
« on: May 09, 2003, 05:37:17 PM »
I understand colors access was disabled due to some users messing up their colors.

Was this really needed?  Most people are able to select colors for a forum that won't screw it up.  I hate it when a few ruin the goodness for all.

NWR Feedback / E-mail Question
« on: April 29, 2003, 07:16:57 PM »
Whenever a thead I posted in is moved, the forum seems to send me an E-mail.

Is there a way to disable this feature, but, at the same time, still allow the moderators and administrators to send me e-mail if needed, or if they reply to a report I do?

NWR Feedback / News

I'm wondering what sources PGC uses to get its news.

NWR Feedback / Quit Complaining About The Ads
« on: April 18, 2003, 11:04:37 AM »
These forums may be where "readrs go to bitch," but I think it is getting rediculous.

Please stop complaining about the ads and ad content.

First, PGC isn't controlling the ads, the ad company does that, and they base it off your cookies sometimes.  Not sure about this one though.

Seconly, the ads have to be here so we can have free forums that don't suck like EzBoards.  That is how PGC pays for the forums.  Forums cost money... software, and, even more, bandwidth.

NWR Feedback / Media
« on: April 13, 2003, 03:10:52 PM »
How much media will be posted to PGC during E3?

I expect that a lot of media will be held back so you can sell DVD's.

General Gaming / Wind Waker to Xbox
« on: April 13, 2003, 02:58:47 PM »
WindyMan from the chat was talking about this.  Unfourtantly it is not on the main PGC site yet, WindyMan says the news thing messed up.

Anyway, if you look HERE, you can see that IGN Xbox has posted all the Wind Waker media up to their site.

This is because Wind Waker may be ported to Xbox.  The final Xbox version would be the same i think, but localized for Xbox.

Cool.

BUT NINTENDO!

They sold out!

Whatever happened to www.shiggy.net, the backup for PGC?

NWR Feedback / Trivia Canceled?
« on: March 28, 2003, 04:14:16 PM »
Is trivia being canceled for tonight like it was the last two weeks?

Also, why wasn't a notice put on the site if trivia was being canceled?

And will there be radio trivia?

NWR Feedback / Intersitals on Forums
« on: March 07, 2003, 05:41:15 PM »
I've noticed some intersitals on the forums.

Should this be happening, and is it site-wide or just forums?

NWR Feedback / Kemco Values PGC; Other Nintendo Sites
« on: March 06, 2003, 11:48:06 AM »
How important do you believe online media like GameCube Advanced, Cube-Europe, and Planet GameCube is?
Very important as they are what people read, respect, and listen to.

A member of Kemco stated this today in a great online question and answer session.

its great to see that they feel PGC and other sites are important.

NWR Feedback / The "Stealing from Other Sites Rule"
« on: February 06, 2003, 05:39:44 PM »
The Rule.

Quote
Cutting and pasting content from other websites and posting it in our Forums is a BANNABLE offense. It's stealing, whether you give credit to those sites or not. Websites live and breathe on advertising revenue, and when you steal their content, they don't get the hits, so they don't get paid. I've already banned a few repeat offenders, but we will now start banning ANYONE who steals content from other sites, unless you can prove that you had permission.

You can link to web pages all you want. What you can't do is paste blocks of text, stream pictures from their webspace, or link directly to their media (of any type). If you want to direct people to another site's media, make a link to the webpage on which they can find links to the media. You may post pictures from another website provided they are stored on your own personal webspace and that you provide a link and full credit to the place where you got them.

And to clarify, this is NOT a new rule. The rules have always stated quite clearly that reposting copyrighted information is bannable, we will simply be enforcing this rule more strictly now.

Have a nice Day!


The Question
Is it really stealing if you give a source?

I mean all the (reliable) websites for gaming source thier news from wherever they get it, and wouldn't this be the same thing?

General Gaming / nVIDA Compatibility
« on: February 02, 2003, 06:52:09 PM »
Does anyone know where to find update drivers for the nVIDA GeForceGo?

I can't find the drivers for the Go... I tried uisng regular ones, but they were not compatible and forced me to do system restore to undo the changes.

NWR Feedback / Banned Users
« on: February 01, 2003, 08:34:57 PM »
Question.

Are users who were Banned from the old EzBoard's going to be allowed to return to the forums since they are changing to FuseTalk?  Or will the EzBoard bans be carried over?

General Gaming / Coverage of E3
« on: February 01, 2003, 08:33:26 PM »
I've never covered E3 by actually going to LA (or Atlanta where it was like 5 years ago).

What's it like to actually be there, though?

Is it a hard event to cover, and do you spend all your time being extremly busy?  I would imagine so.

NWR Feedback / Report this to a Moderator.
« on: February 01, 2003, 08:30:56 PM »
When I click the Report this to a Moderator, do I need to copy the rule-breaking post, or does the board automatically do that when it sends the moderator a report?

Nintendo Gaming / GBA SP
« on: February 01, 2003, 04:42:26 PM »
I've been trying to figure out something about the screen of the GBA SP for a while, but can't get an answer.

I'd like to find out what sort of screen it is.

Is it a hard plastic one like the GBC and GBA, or is it a "soft" one like notebook LCD's?

I'm asking here because I know PGC had someone at CES who actually saw the SP in person.

NWR Feedback / Talkback.
« on: January 31, 2003, 07:09:36 PM »
Sorry for all the questions.  

With the talkback forum, it says that only PGC staff can post new threads there.

Anyway, below that, it says the Trivia Forum is reply-only.

Could not the talkback forum be made reply-only too so that non-moderators (non PGC staff) could not make new threads there?
