Just a thought I've had.

As I said elsewhere, personally I don't see the point in Hybrid layouts - however I've also said that they give people a chance to practise their layout designing skills.

Then I remembered a layout I played a while back. I think it was Fruit Vortex, probably by Jaye but not totally sure. Anyway it was the SupaFruits ROMs, with a totally home made graphic, being a Lo-Tech the Alpha wasn't needed, and it was a great looking layout.

I was wondering if it was worthwhile having an extra section in the forum say *specifically* for Hybrid and Custom layouts?

It would effectively be seperate from the rest of the FME area, but would give an area to those that want to emulate ROMs with custom graphics.

There would have to be a warning somewhere in the section, probably a sticky, basically stating that they are not the original machines, blah blah blah, and this would probably need to be echoed in each release thread.

Just an idea at the moment, just wondered if anyone had any comments or ideas?

What exactly is you problem with alth people?? He says exactly what he thinks and at the end of the day thats fair enough....

This is a public forum and threads are started for discussion, its not a 'either agree with everyone else or dont post on the thread forum'.. If anyone cant take hearing other peoples opinions on things then why post in the first place?

f*** sake people....

Agree totally, as I said theres too many people just repling as they are being 'sheepish'.......

Anybody tell's me Alth don't know his stuff and i'll gladly shut-up.........theres a lot of good assistance to be had from Alth I think.

So he's to the point...and to be honest at times I think he's a little funny---thats because I READ his replies...

People dont realise that he does help out to..... i can say that alth has had input (whether its testing, ideas, or general help) in just about every layout iv ever made..... and i know for a fact that he has in LOADS of other layouts. Believe it or not alth helps out in the scene wherever he can.. which is more than i can say about alot of members.

sure he can be a c*** every so often but thats alth.... wouldnt be the same if he wasnt about..

just something to think about..

As I have said before I dont think people have a big problem with Alth it is just the messages he posts are usually obscene and spitefull in my opinion. It has been mentioned that we are "sheepish" in our posts. I totally disagree. I would not post saying yes thats good if I did not meen it for example.

Anyway where do I sign up so I can get my I love Alth supporters club badge :-)

I mentioned the word Sheepish..........I wasn't referring to any specific person post nor thread.

That was just a general observation across the forums where the opinions always appear to corrispond within certain subjects or topics.

Notice the smiley face at the end of the sentence Moco? It was a joke.
