Why No Dreamcast Forum?

Where?

There is a lot going on with it right now, with the GDEMU board, but there really is no sub board where we all come together to talk about it. 

I consider it a classic, like the N64, but then there is no N64 sub board either...

Maybe we need a "Tweener" console section with sub boards for those in the middle which could include these two and the saturn, PS1-3, original XBOX, etc.

In the mean time, I believe the Clubs function would be a decent substitute for additional subforums. At least it could be used to gauge the actual interest, if it attracts fewer than 5 members in two months, probably the subforum would be just as little used. If it happens to be crowded with activity, perhaps it is a technical issue to merge back the club into the main forum, but at least it would show the admins this is an area with actual demand.

Um ... how long have I been here and I never knew that Clubs was a thing? :dunce:

Well I'll be damned.. Didn't expect to see that happen. :lolblue:

Unfortunately there is no easy way for me to mass move topics by searching for "Dreamcast", which is something I was able to do with earlier versions of the software.  No way I'm going through thousands of topics manually to do that, so I'm going to see if I can find another solution or pay someone to add that functionality back to the forum.  There are a ton of Dreamcast-related topics that need to be moved into this new forum.

I'd like to propose a "Sammich Forum"

Not sure if it should be in Classic or Modern.

I mean everyone back in the day ate sammiches, and people still do so....

With all the other food threads in Off Topic, I am surprised there is no "Sammich Forum".  There is however a "Food Thread Club".  Perhaps you could whet your appetite there?

I moved that thread, I'm not going to go out of my way to hunt down and move threads until I have the ability to do so in large numbers.  I've already hired a developer to do this for me, but he's busy right now, as Invision just released the first beta for the next major release of the forum software, and he has to update all his plugins and apps.  So he won't be able to get to it for at least two weeks.

Dreamcast has a pretty good homebrew scene. Too bad Neo-Geo dev team stopped making them (especially since Kraut Buster looks sic....) but I think they are going to start porting them to the switch now for those of us non-crazy people that don't collect Neo-Geo homebrews:)

I've added a Dreamcast forum.  I'll need to go through and move Dreamcast threads into this new forum.

Thanks, Albert. I and I'm sure the rest of us really appreciate it. Other Forums come and go, but this should live on here in AAo
