Added Features and Input Request

I have added some features to the site today. I had to remove one almost immediately since it crashed the servers 2 times in the 1st 15 minutes of being implemented. The other main feature is one that I hope you never see. It's one in place to prevent all these dead gum spammers from spamming links all over. If someone with less than 10 posts tries to post something with a URL, it will go into an unpublished moderation queue. Hopefully this will help.

Another feature is one that many of you have pestered me about. :) I removed the Paypal donatation link over a year ago and some have taken the time to email me requesting that it be put back. I am not one to beg for donations as advertising supports the site well, but I won't turn them down either. If you scroll down to the bottom right of each page you will see an itty bitty link.

Input... I want input. What do you guys think of having a flash arcade here? This is a time waster, but if you want to waste time, why not do it here, eh? I don't think it will draw new members JUST to play games, but I do see it as just an added value item.

That's it for now... Later!

Die spammers DIE!

I vote for the flash arcade. I had one on another forum, and it was really fun. The scoreboard made it pretty competitive.

Don't cheapen the site with an arcade. Aximsite is a relatively well-focused community site. Don't dilute it with garbage.

There is another site I like to visit that had a flash arcade. It was popular for a short time and then was abandoned by the users and finally totally removed. IMHO, seems like a waste of time for Chris and the mods. Plus, I can play tons of games on my ax whenever I want.

Gee, I'm gonna miss the spam.
Where else can I find some Britney links?

Flash sounds interesting, but I spend enough time here already.

Just wondering, what was the other feature that crashed the servers?

IMHO a flash arcade would detract from the purpose of the site. Many people would post less and play more, making it harder to get answers and advice. If you want to play games online, there are plenty of other places to do it. Maybe we could have a forum category dedicated to sharing top scores, advice, and other info about online games.
