OK everyone, I know we sent some PM's and posted about the Sega ELite forums, well, there were sum issues and problems with it so we've abandoned it, so me, Mega, Cauterize and grayfox are working together to bring Sega Dreams alive....the website still is being worked on - but our forums are up check it out here

Just a recommendation, stemming from some personal experience:
Less is more. That, meaning that I'd consolidate the forums a little bit. The less forums you have, the busier it will seem, and the more actual good discussion you'll get going. DP is a good case in point. No dividing the main game forum by eras, systems or companies, and it works wonderfully. Now my Xbox Live clan doesn't get this theory and we have 3 off-topic forums that never get individual attention. Kind of stupid on their part I think. Anyway, good luck!

Thank you for that advice, that does bring up a good point now that I think of it...We have to test out the waters and see what happens.

Just popping in and hoping that everybody comes into Sega Dreams and makes a quick visit :D
Hopefully you'll stay as well then :)

How about: Don't invite loads of people to join your forum and then, one day later, tell them all to come join a different one instead?
Best of luck with it - it's looking good, but forgive me if I wait until it's established a bit more before joining up.

Once i get down to work and college work out the way, there will be a good site to back up this forum.
We are considering the following pages/info
Scans
Reviews
Master Lists
Cheats
Adverts
etc...

OK, scratch what I said - I've joined up anyway ;)
It's already looking much nicer than the other place (and that Me2Nik guy did seem like a bit of a nob anyway!)

Excellent Anagrama, it's good to hear we've got members like you've now.
And thanks for understanding the situation we are in :)

Scans, Scans, im gettin to work on them now...
Cani ask a favour of anyone scanning, stick to genesis for now (or megadrive) and save the scans at these resolutions:
Genesis/Megadrive Full Covers: 789 x 507 Pixels
Megadrive Manuals: 485 x 281 Pixels
Carts: 323 x 206 Pixels
Genesis Scans would be appreciated as i only have a few considerin im a PAL'er
Not to be fussy but could they be saved liek this too:
Sonic1Cover.jpg
Sonic1Manual.jpg
Sonic1Cart.jpg
Get the idea?
Starts at 686 Attack sub and gets ready to scan 200+ covers, and manual covers and carts!!!!! OMFG This is gonna kill me!

And thanks for the information, hopefully this helps everyone that was going to help.

I'm going to agree with DrJustinRamone on that there is way too many subjects in the forum. It looks like it will be good but I think you need to focus the forum. Good luck and I'm sure I'll join up.

Cheers, Any Genesis Scans are greatly appreciated!
As for the sizes, they are GUIDELINES, not each one has to be dead on, but around that size is good as i am aware the odd cover is a different size likewise with manuals!

In fact, we took your opinion and DrJustin's....have a look at the forums now...we consildated everything we could possibly think of

Also, I might add (I suppose I could discuss this on the Sega Dreams board, but you were talking about it here) that we don't really need to scan Mark III/Master System stuff. SMS Power! has a pretty good collection of that stuff already.

Similarly, Genesis Collective has tons of Genesis/MD scans.

Ok quick bump for this, we edited a few things, re-arranged the forums a tad, and just like to say, we are more then happy to welcome any more Sega fans/collectors/gamers to our site
We opened up a review section now, so if you'd like, you can submit that to Mr. Cauterize on our forums

I visited the site a few days ago and itīs great!, but iīll have to be critic: There are too many forums in the forum...thatīs very frustrant...start with less forums and then, when there are a lot of registered people, start to add a lot more...
Itīs only a tip...
