I have an idea!

[webbug]

This came from another site .
Well here's my idea, we should have an arcade and when we play we get some HBs. I think many users will agree my idea but I know isn't up to them to get the arcade, anyway... What do you think?
(I made a poll so we can see how many agree with it)

Greets,

i would love an arcade where you get hb points for playing games, i would play it 24/7! and maybe when you get a highscore you get like 50-100 hb points or something. and if someone beats your highscore you lose the points you got and it goes to the person that beat you. that would be cool in my opinion.

I don't think an arcade is relevant to this webmaster forum. I see this board as more of a professional place rather than a games/entertainment board.

Getting points for playing games is not benificial to the board. At least with getting points to post you are posting information which may help other members/webmasters set up and run their own website.

I agree with Mark. An arcade wouldn't suit this forum, simply because it doesn't go with the theme. As for getting HB points for playing in the arcade, that would be a bigger no. Everyone would just start playing in the arcade and nobody would post in the forums.
Anyways, The arcade would just suck bandwidth which would not be beneficial to Fergal.

Well, the users will post if you put a number of post needed per week/day/month/etc. to play in the arcade, and the HBs you I didn't think to be 50 or 100 or more, I thought at 5 or max 10 (It's enough for me). But if we don't get it I don't think it will be a problem, we'll find other ways to get HBs.

Hello all,
This idea came from ddboard huh?I am a moderator there.Okay well you must know that hb is not for an arcade.This system is quite kool for the moment and let it continue.

[User Name]

I agree with Mark and Flash.

HB is a community where webmasters exchange their ideas and views, and learn more things and simultaneously get what they came here for; domain names

Arcade doesn't really suit this community, because I feel that would reduce the professionality of this community. And moreover, earning HB points for playing arcade games would totally ruin the idea behind this community, that is, everyone should benefit from their presence on HB (learn new things by seeing others' posts, expand your thinking by seeing things in others' views, get your problems solved by the wonderful other members, etc.).

So yeah, I don't think it's a good idea, well that's just my opinion, I mean although my aim in joining this community wasn't to get free domains, I'm still enjoying a lot communicating with the other members. I don't want that to change !

Cheers

I agree with megamoose, Flash and User Name as well. Geez what can I say? You've said it all. An arcade would be nice if it's a gaming Forum or something, but to do this in a Forum like HB is a big NO, NO! It would lose some reputation and it's air of professionalism. This is NOT a kid's forum for christ sake!

And what's the point of getting HB points for playing games? Infact if ever this idea would ever be implemented (which I doubt), you should even PAY points for playing and not gain 'em. Why? Well, you played and had fun! Do you know any arcade cafes (or whatever you call them) that gives out "tokens" for playing in their arcade machines?

Well, again, this is just my own opinion.

Arcade isnt really needed, instead it might distract some of the other members and they wont post on the forums as much due to playing in the arcade. And as for getting points for playing game, Roalf is right and they definitely wont post anymore. They would be thinking "Lets play to get points, we dont need to post like those HB Gurus!". So Arcade is not really a good idea for HostBidder, as HostBidder is more towards web development and general talk from what I can see.
