darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Does anybody know what bunnyboy's thoughts on the "separation" are/have been? I don't recall having seen him crop up in any of the threads that were ongoing on the old site and am curious if he might make the migration as so many have already in the past few days. I'm also curious as to what the fate of the scoreboard feature on the AVS will be, what with the site it was built to communicate with seemingly entering its death spiral. I know a lot of folks don't use it, but it would be nice to see that function survive, even if it ends up being somewhere else (preferably here, but open to other venues as well).

captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I don't believe the scoreboard feature can be ported from discussions I've seen. It also looks like Bunny may be team Wata, meaning I doubt you'll see any development here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thanks for the heads up. Sad on both counts, really. You'd figure the functionality could be ported somewhere else if bunnyboy really wanted to, but I suppose if he's team Wata/GC/etc., I guess there's not really any reason to do so, at least not until NA falls over. Even then, I'd say it's at the low end of selling points for the AVS these days, so I suppose it wouldn't be a high priority, regardless. As far as I'm aware, retroUSB was really the only dedicated hardware manufacturer that was embedded in the old site, but I know a lot of software folks were pretty firmly entrenched. I have a feeling that it'll be a bit yet before we see the end of the "who gets the friend" game that almost always occurs after a "breakup."

Tulpa | 3,492 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I do wonder if RetroUSB will have some sort of presence here. If anything for AVS support, Powerpak support, etc. Wouldn't be opposed to other companies doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsped09 | 223 Moderator · Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 If true, its a bummer. I'd like to see the Scoreboard on multiple platforms. It was a really great and unique feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick McGee | 3 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I’ve been curious about the status of 8 Bit Xmas 2019. He got some criticism from a few on NA last year that some of the releases were just throw away novelty games that you play for a few minutes and then put on your shelf. Usually he updates the status of the game throughout the year on YouTube and Facebook but I haven’t heard anything about it and we’re nearing the usual release period. Hope we get a 2019 entry this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegHead | 127 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I would like to see bunnyboy participate on here, as well. retroUSB is a source of some great games, not just the X-mas carts! I'm seriously considering picking on an AVS. It's a very cool looking system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Scoreboard, I never got around to using it, so by default I won't be missing much. That's not to say anything against Bunnyboy, the fact that it even exists is brilliant, it's just one of those things I never experienced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted52405 | 178 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The Scoreboard was actually one of the big pushes when I bought my AVS, it would be sweet if it could be magically ported somehow. This is my first VGS post...weird lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadrulesagain | 41 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It'd be a shame if bunnyboy does not join here, since we are still his potential customer target. It doesn't matter if he is close to GC and WATA, business is business after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,121 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I think we should all probably just wait and see what happens after na gets updated and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where Ferris is, but KHan has been doing the front page announcements/news for the last ~month or so, so I took that as a sign of him deciding to stay firmly on that side of the proverbial fence.

B.A. | 1,139 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 We just have to give some people time I think. Hopefully everyone will join us, as I honestly believe VGS will prove the better home for the community going forward. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
