It doesn't look like I'll get any help here any time soon considering the fact that someone that posted on March 27 didn't get unbanned yet. Anyway, got banned after submitting score for 21. Any help would be great.

No need for the negativity. Attitudes like this make people not want to help you, and sets the tone for what people think about you for a long time to come. Just keep that in mind.

I hope your problem is solved soon

To be fair, the arcade has been pretty abandoned for awhile. The latest new games were added in February, and it took three or four months to do a four week competition. Somebody from March 27th wasn't unbanned. That's nearly two months now. I would guess that more important things have been going on, but it would be pretty nice if the arcade section as a whole was shown some love again.

@hellfire789
It's not because no one replied that the guy didnt get unbanned. He was unbanned a while ago, we just didnt post here

@Nathan Drake:
way to post without actual information The guy was unbanned the same day he made the request.
Also, the competition was spread out over a couple of months because the sponsor requested it.
The last game was added in April. Can't always add new games myself.

I crossed that banned bit out.

As for the games, there may be one game that I hadn't noticed that was added. I should say there hasn't been a large influx of new games since February. Not counting the individual competition games that were added for the sake of the competitions, there really has been nothing new, just for fun, in months minus maybe one or two games (I checked out the full list, and only one game didn't look entirely familiar). New games a little more often would help to keep the arcade lively. As it stands, I don't know about others, but I've enjoyed it just as much as I can without playing it just to keep myself occupied for five minutes.

Oh, and as for the competition, my complaint about the time frame arises from this in the first competition post, first line:

Quote

Our sponsor Etcome is offering a new round of free stuff this month: we're going to be shipping out state-of-the-art Nintendo DS flashcards every week for 1 month, starting today.

That's why I made the comment about it taking so long. That one month was rather long.

Edit: Just to note, I understand adding games isn't a super quick process, but I don't think expecting maybe five or six a month should be asking for too much (unless it is, in which case, please inform me - I just want to know). That would be a rate of just over one a week. It isn't ideal, but if it was a reliable stream of new content, it would be quite the improvement over the sparse updates now.

Oh, I see. Sorry for making hasty assumptions, and thanks for the unban.
