While I agree that the forum could use some more categories, I'm not sure seeing the size of the community at this time that it wouldn't just fragment the responses and create duplicate questions. It's still mainly a support forum at this point.

Maybe device specific forum is good because people don't necessarily know what cpu they have when they come here, but on the other hand there is not so much difference in compatibility between devices and that would be a lot of subforums. likewise different language subforums would mean people asking questions would have less chances to get answers. and also, what about suggestion threads? they'd have to be translated to the devs?

It could have one forum for problems with games, one for problems with the emulator itself, one for news and features and then lots of discussion forums to get a little community going...

also adding a profile pic is so annoying you have to get it under 6 kb then get it to the right dimensions this should be done automatically

I'm sure Exophase will fix that, he said he's a bit busy with other stuff.

Yeah, it does need captcha, it's just not a default thing for phpBB so that means work is involved and I'm kind of preoccupied with the emulator :( Once I get a free moment I'll make some of you admins and mods and let you tidy things up a bit..

Well I can help with the forum, i've already played with phpbb and mybb ;)

Im also currently a moderator on the ppsspp forum, so I don't necessarily have time for moderation but I can help in maintening the forum right... Adding feature and such.

Have a nice day ;)

Ps.: I also have some skills in web programmation (like most of the normal developpers ahah)
