here is an addon for ipb 1.3
it adds an arcade that has a bunch of games
this is what it would look like
i think this would make this forum more intresting and a lot more fun for some people.

Sounds like fun. :)
very Good idea and helps this board to GearUp :lol:
I've got an arcade on my forum. To be honest though I don't think it would suit this forum. Its more suited for smaller forums. Also most of the games are rips from ones already on sites like shockwave.com so you can just play them there...
Yay, lets have an arcade! :D
If the oldes still active member says so :PQuote:

Yeah lets have it
Looks good. I will see what can be done. I could only imagine though what it would do to our bandwidth though.

v3arcade (the vBulletin & AFAIK the original version) was recently installed on the vB board of AS Hosting (my webhost :)). It's been going through a lot of uses so far and there's been a lot of banter related to it on the board.
Put simply, it's been a lot of fun and a great success so if the same can be done for an IPB board then I'd say go for it :D Been one-time champion on four games so far (Tetris, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Breakout) :D
However, personally I'd recommend that if we get this installed then one of the team takes a position to the arcade like BOT does our CMS/news system. Main reason - Games come & go, fads change. It could be useful having someone manage the arcade and the games on it, bringing in new ones and removing games no longer used - Perhaps our Gameworld moderator, Rip The Jacker :smilie4:
Lets just put it up for now and see how it goes. i dont think it will slow down the board and if it does take it down.
i just want "tetris champion" next to my name.
Bah - I'd be taking the FST Tetris Championship as I did the ASH Tetris Championship :PQuote:

Whether I'd keep it though is another matter altogether :D
I love it.
;) I think Yahoo All Stars would be better.Alot more Games.A few of us wanted to do that for the Forum over a Year ago.But could not find enough People to Pitch in the $60.At $5 a Person would of only needed 12 People to Cover the whole Year.
I just joined a forum with an arcade and a store. And I think the whole thing is pretty neat!

let's get an arcade and the store!!!!!!!!!
yea its a good idea..
if anyone wants to test out the arcade n store... i'll give them a testing account and a link (PM me)
:huh: Will it have Spades.....Poker.....Checkers? :huh:
theres an annoyin part to the arcade... u have to add the games urself... :/ meaning first you gotta upload the game thro ftp and then you gotta go the the ADMIN ACP and add in the game settings n stuff...
@ funky
i think they made those games for the arcade :P
still, we need something to perk the members up
:01: Yahoo All Stars! :01:
:P
ewwwwww :ghostface:Quote:
anyways, maybe even an ib shop?
yahoo allstars cost money... lol...

Although, knowing the intelligence of some smart-ass programmers it COULD be... :wacko:
I just played breakout on that board and got the third highest score on my first game :lol:
Im going to go play some...
Im wondering if anyone has any idea how much more Bandwith or
stress this would bring to our server?
I wouldnt want to make this board a slow or much slower that it is.
:cool2:
I'll see what can be done however, I'm not sure if this will work well on this server. We are already using a lot of resources, I can only imagine how much games must take up.
Don't get your hopes up

What about the server that was used for the KLF radio, is there a way to configure that for the arcade/casino?
It just keeps getting better and better on this board, does'nt it.
When your dying you'll do just about anything to live. Sad to say an arcade ain't gonna help!
Okay, I'd better admit this - The radio station was run on the board server. There was no "radio server".Quote:

When I started on the radio, I thought it was a second server myself. When I took over, it still took me a bit to figure it out :(
As many people didn't listen to it and it only ran on weekend evenings and (during the Lounge era) in the middle of the night, the slowdown wasn't noticed that much. It was a plan that if the Lounge was successful and there were enough listeners to put a significant load on the server, we're consider a seperate server. However, that situation never happened and so we didn't consider it further.
games would be cool!

Well that is news..In any case perhaps it is possible to use another server for the arcade, any one offering to donate one? :)
