    Rules Thread?

    Sorry dudes, but this needs attention (once the site is stable, of course). how about standards/practices from the Admins to mods to users?

    what we can all expect from each other?  Sure, “do you want to others “works well, until you’re a sadomasochist...

    Best practices from the staff means standards of what is and isn’t acceptable from both the users and admins/mods.

    This becomes a “good fences make good neighbors” where boundaries and respect can help a community  thrive with a common interest.

     OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO REMOVE INK FROM A NES PLASTIC CART


    Method 1: Denatured Alcohol 
    SUGGESTED BY: many members
    METHOD: Apply denatured alcohol to area, then use cotton ball/q-tip/rag/paper towel/pencil eraser, rub the markered area- it will lift off the marker. This will have to be done several times for optimal results. 
    VARIANT: Use an electric toothbrush.
    CAUTION: Alcohol will damage labels. Apply only to the plastic markered area.

    Method 2: Goo Gone
    SUGGESTED BY: many members
    METHOD: Apply goo gone and then rub the area with cotton ball/q-tip.
    CAUTION: Too much goo gone will eat away at the plastic. 
    CAUTION: Rubbing too hard will destroy the plastic.
    CAUTION: Goo gone will remove the sticky and/or discolor your labels. Apply only to the plastic markered area.

    Method 3: Magic Eraser
    SUGGESTED BY: a few members
    METHOD: Gently wipe with magic eraser pad. 
    VARIANT: Add goo gone on magic eraser pad. 
    CAUTION: May damage/discolor label.
    CAUTION: May damage texture of plastic.

    Method 4: Axe Body Spray
    SUGGESTED BY: a few members
    METHOD: Spray on, wipe or rub off.
    CAUTION: Cart will smell like cologne. 
    CAUTION: Will damage/discolor label.

    Method 6: Nail Polish Removal
    SUGGESTED BY: a few members
    METHOD: Wipe nail polish removal on markered area- wipe off.
    CAUTION: Reports of whitening or discoloration to plastic.
    CAUTION: Will damage/discolor label.

    Method 7: Dry Erase Marker
    SUGGESTED BY: a few members.
    METHOD: Scribble dry erase marker on the permanent marker then wipe off. The dry erase should pick up the permanent marker.
    CAUTION: Mixed results with textured NES carts.
    CAUTION: Might take up to four applications.

    Method 8: Sunscreen
    SUGGESTED BY: one member
    METHOD: Apply sunscreen (unspecified spf) to markered area, let it sit, wipe off.
    CAUTION: Unknown effects, sounds crazy.

    Method 9: Brake fluid
    SUGGESTED BY: a mess of members
    METHOD: Rub on, rub off.
    CAUTION: Keep the fluid away from the edge of the labels, where it can wick the fluid.

    LABLES


    Method 1: Insta Lift (which is a remover of paint, permanent marker and other materials)
    SUGGESTED BY: a few members
    METHOD: Rub it on, and immediately rub it off.
    CAUTION: This works well for labels, but it will eat the plastic of your cart. 


    Everyone has their favorite methods and it's STRONGLY recommended that you test these on a Silent Service cart before trying to clean up your Flintstones 2 or TMNT4 cart. 

    I'm more than happy to update this hog if you have suggestions or want to tell me some method doesn't work.

    yes, love the chiptune version!!! so what did you use to compose? Fami? if so, chipset? love that you used the triangle as the lead about halfway through.

    is it all in the chipset and using dpmc for drums? I struggle with the samples for some reason. The only time I used it was for the last xmas cart for a donkey "hee-haw" sfx and it didn't call correctly (came out soft and distorted).

    When I get home I'm going to post a few chiptunes!

    @TylerBarnes put a ton of work (see his dev thread from the other site) and it looks like his Moonfall Cartridge is available for purchase!!! (edit: I purchased one because it's awesome)

    This is a very recent chiptune development and a great place to start the discussion! Tyler, could you post up any additional materials, videos, thoughts, etc. as you work though the last stage (sales)?

    As with every NA related post it’s important to tread lightly and remain positive. That we’re all here right now is a clear indication of our feelings towards the other site and there’s no need  to kick a man when he’s down.

    Also, I'd like to coin the term Sage Rage™for anyone who rants about the other site!

    Just received "Sorry, you cannot add any more reactions today."

    Can these be uncapped?

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to "love" or "thanks" a post- in the other forum I'd have to make the choice to either post a +1 or nothing at all and, seeing as I'm not looking to pump up my post count, opted for a lot of nothing.
