PCEnginefx.com - Where's the Admin?

[Dreamstate]

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows the folks that run pcenginefx.com? I have tried for well over a month to get approved on the forum and sent multiple follow-up emails, but I am being completely ignored.

Thanks in advance.

[Oldskool]

they are pretty bad about approving people, but they usually get around to it..

[Smashed Brother]

I've been waiting for the past week-and-a-half on that, myself. I'm sure that they're just doing background checks and going through your financial history. You know how these exclusive clubs work! :p

[Dreamstate]

Well, I'll just try to be patient then I guess. I really wanted to do some trading.

[Damaramu]

Yeah, I signed up like 2 months ago or so...I'm pretty sure I hadn't been approved yet.

[Breetai]

I signed up once. After waiting a few weeks to gain approval, I gave up and signed up again with a different username. It was approved in a few days. A few weeks later, the first account was finally approved.

There is no reason why they did it like that that I can think of, other than they are a bit disorganized.

[Enigmus]

I heard that was the site of Nintega's origin on the web.

Years later, he's still the same as when he got banned there.

I sent a PM to the sites owner for you guys ;)

[RoyVegas]

Don't give up, it's worth the wait! :evil:

Sweet! Thanks for the help.

[Oldskool]

Just whatever you do, don't sign up and start buying/selling stuff right away. Chat with the peeps in the chat room for a while. Get to know people. Most people there don't trust the new guys so they have to build your trust with you.

Cheap trades are always a good start.

Going on there looking for Magical Chase is not.

its not disorganized, its just the site admin isn't on too often, and hes the one that approves users.

[echidna]

that's pretty poor tbh maybe they should appoint some new admin

As a proud member of the elite social circle that is PCenginefx.com, I hope they keep the requirements high. Currently you need to be as good in bed as Bonk to be approved. Best of luck to you!

Hello all - sorry about the delay in approving accounts... as of this posting I have caught up on all account approval, so if you have not received your account activation email yet please let me know.

Me too please, just signed up under MaximumRD.

aka. disorganization (not in appearance, but in keeping up with things) due to the admin being too busy to check applications. Just a fact (well, looks like it to me anyway!). I like the site, to be honest. :)

[Ed Oscuro]

What is PCEngineFX about anyway? Sitting on my secret stash of broken GTs and PC-FX GAs I have no need for trading sites! (Well, in all honesty my other trading sites already eat up 110% of my available disposable.)

[Logicdustbin]

I finally got approved, but it had taken so long, I forgot the password I picked :D


all I wanted to know was how to build a multi tap :P

[WoodyXP]

I like the site, to be honest. :)

Word life, Bree'slice. It's one of the best forums ever.

i wonder how i got approved then. unless bonk is pretty damn bad which would be kinda ironic.

The only thing I don't like about their forum is that whenever they ban members, apparently they migrate over here and act like dipshits.

Can't blame a forum for holding it's members to slightly higher standards. :D

Bumping this for a similar issue. I have tried signing up 3 times: July of 2010, January of 2011, and now, this month, on the 24th.

I have never been approved for any of these attempts.

pcenginefx guys: Lemme in, please! I'm a nice guy, I promise!


EDIT: Some anonymous person spread the word overnight and I'm in. Thank you, masked stranger!

[Edmond Dantes]

It took me about a month and a half to get approved.

[Flashback2012]

I don't know if my account is still viable on there. I remember setting myself up on that site years ago but the e-mail address I used is no longer valid so I don't have a way to recover even if I wanted to. :|

Pcenginefx.com are comprised of elitist scum that has alianated the entire PC Engine community. There are many resident trolls there that attack any newcomers. To become a newcomer you have to be approved by the board, and even if you are allowed in, the resident trolls will tear you up. You are not allowed to sell or trade there unless you are approved and blessed in by their mages and clerics. Pcenginefx is exactly what gaming forums should be not. Its dying nowadays anyways, but thought i should speak up about that scummy place.

Mostly false, but you're right that it is dying. So is this place.

[Aussie2B]

I haven't posted over there in a while, but it's a nice forum from my experience. The regulars can be a little sharp-tongued, but I'd say they're overall friendly, decent people. I recall even winning a couple raffles the users would often put on, and then hosted one myself.

[Tron 2.0]

The site is dying i'll just say that plus a awhile ago a moderator there had a meltdown.After certain changes were made,most have given up and have moved onto other pc-engine forums.

I havent found any other PC Engine forums. Can you point me in right direction?

Which is a shame, i usually just lurk but i took a absence from this site for a about a year and noticed a huge drop in posts. I think the classic scene is drying up plus everything being so easy to emulate now has taken its toll.
