Your petition has failed to meet the threshold of responses required to make any change to the forums of GBAtemp.

Our response:

Thank you for your petition and for your interest in our the Edge of the Forum's activities. Joke exploration has the unique ability to drive hilarious guffawing and chuckelry, while also helping to satisfy our natural curiosity about breasts, panties, and large penises. These threads indeed make a difference, and I have been fortunate to have the chance to help move them forward during my time at the GBAtemp.

With regard to your proposal, the GBAtemp Moderation Staff (GMS) has a vital mission of protecting the interests and security of GBAtemp. Each year, careful consideration goes into identifying the appropriate bullshit levels to support that mission, with final appropriations determined by the p1ngpong, or a monkey that can throw darts. It is important to recognize, moreover, that the GMS supports a wide range of laugh-related activities that complement and strengthen the GBAtemp Forum Edge program, including knock-knock jokes, image memes, the You are Banned game, and troll research and development programs. These capabilities are important to our forum security while also yielding benefits for us, for you, and for the 'tempers who have yet to join us.

The Forum Edge arena has been an area of emphasis for the p1ngpong Administration from the outset, and there are new and ground-breaking initiatives already underway. In particular, the Administration has worked with tagzard to develop a new approach for the EoF's activities that include:

  • tomfoolery
  • grabassing
  • rib-tickling
  • ass-kissing
  • petition disruption
  • quelling of violent protests

All of this will be undertaken while also supporting robust programs in EoF science that are important to understanding our internet home and unlocking the mysteries of our senses of humor.

These initiatives represent a significant step forward in terms of enhancing the long-term affordability and sustainability of EoF threads, increasing the number of possible jokes, and rethinking how we conduct some of these activities. For example, we may begin allowing necrobumping in the EoF. At the same time, GBAtemp's total thread count will continue to expand exponentially. Taken as a whole, I would say that this is an exciting and innovative program – one that is capable of achieving meaningful goals, while being mindful of the forum's current fiscal challenges.

Thank you again for your interest and I hope that you will continue to be a dedicated supporter of our forum's EoF activities in the years and decades ahead.

Vulpes Abnocto is the Global Moderator with enormous balls that dwarf the heads of most 'tempers. Gaze in wonder as they sway.

Can't we just rename it to something simple? Like Bob maybe?

"Welcome to Bob . Enjoy your stay." After all it maintains the three letter paradigm.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
