Well, I think off-topic posts could count towards the Fortress of Retro entry requirement, but that's up to Suyo really.

I don't really like that idea, because you coulkd just make posts in forum games, and not participate anywhere else. You would be missing the point of these forums then, which is Runouw's Games. Get what I mean?

Maybe we could say "400 posts, 200 not in Off-Topic" though. Or something.

But then if your saying that the forum is for Runouws games, and your saying to get into Retro you need 400 posts and stuff, well you could still get to Retro without even playing Runouws games. What about you need 100 play counts on any game like Keytar Hero, 100 posts in the Flash Games and stuff topics and 150 in the other places. What do you think

I think we should. Because There's

Forum Games
In FoR. So why the discrimination?

Besides, I'm not here for Runouw's games. I'm here for Writing and Hanging Out With Friends. And you're here for site enhancing friends. Guess we're both not good members. :P

I hate Jacks idea, but i agree with Suyos. You must have 200 posts in both off-topic/forum games and 200 in non-off-topic topics. But, i'll get in anyway as i might have like 500+ posts in off-topic. :awe:

All I have to say is that I hope to one day come anywhere near close enough to qualify for entry... Oh, and I agree with the "Off Topic are posts too!" contingency. Participation is participation, on Runouw's games or on "Runouw's" forums. We're all here for Runouw, no matter what we are actually doing here. Postcount is postcount. Don't discriminate. Set the requirement relatively high (Gods, not too high, I'll die before I get in), and let the chips fall where they may. When the required postcount is high, the chances of trolls getting banned before entry is allowed is high too. Let it be the reward for all kinds of awesome members in good standing that it is.

Case in Point

SonehFlash has 490 posts counting off Topic.

SonehFlash has 11 official posts.

SonehFlash can post all he wants in Off-Topic but he can't get into FortressOfRetro which is pretty much a different form of Off-Topic.

The point of Fortress of Retro isn't Runouw's Games. :facepalm: 75% of the whole forum isn't Runouw's Games. So why is it if you're not into Runouw's games and other NON-OFF TOPIC stuff, can't you go into an OFF TOPIC FORUM?

It's really as simple as that.
