User talk:Shinhan/EmuGalaxy

I have moved talk from main page in preparation to publication. Also, I would like to ask everyone to converse only in english here, so we can get used to it for when this page is published.

Roadmap
What we still need:
 * EmuGalaxy international <- pretty much done now
 * Early history <- I thinks its done, nothing much to say here
 * 2nd version <- done
 * 3rd version <-done
 * 5th version <- needs description
 * 6th version <- needs description
 * Modern History <- few things must be added
 * Controversy <- in progress

anything else?

Cult-like?
Ajde i ovo da preformulišemo. Ne svi?a mi se ovo "cult-like" :/ - Shinhan
 * Zasto? To je bas uobicajen izraz cult-like following i mislim da stvarno dobro opisuje core fanove EmuGlx-a. - Nick4life
 * Yes, but I do not think EmuGalaxy has a Cult folowing. "Cult" has numerous, especially religious, negative conotations.

Prouci malo cult-like following izraz, mislim da ga cak ima i u nekim recnicima. Opisuje jak i lojalan fanbase bez obzira na to da li je mali ili veliki.

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary lists five different meanings of the word "cult"32.

1. formal religious veneration 2. a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents; 3. a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents; 4. a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator; 5. great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book).

I think we can safely ignore 1-3. I dont get 4. So, 5 says "great devotion". I do not see that great devotion. Or at least its not notable enough to be included in the article. I am sure that goons are much more devoted to Something Awful, yet the article on their forums does not mention cult like following. Why do you want EmuGalaxy to be labeled cult-like?

Nick4life: WELL, NO! Lets go with the LOYAL FANBASE then.

AnimeGalaxy
Mozda bi mogli i da dodamo da se planira delimicno odcepljenje sekcije u AnimeGalaxy nezavisni sajt uskoro? - Nick4life
 * No, as per Original_research - Shinhan
 * Ok kapiram to, ali ako bi na Anime/Manga strani na sajtu recimo najavili da ce Anime Galaxy biti otvoren uskoro tj. da je u planu, onda bi mogli na wikiju da prenesemo to kao, u julu 2006 je najavljen Anime Galaxy, zar ne? - Nick4life
 * Read WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Which means we are not allowed to predict future and so on. So, as soon as AnimeGalaxy is split you can report it, but you cant predict it. I mean its somewhat gray area with you actually being in charge of AnimeGalaxy, but Im still not sure. Shinhan 21:00, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, I'd like you to note some things. When replying on talk page use : for indentation so it is more easily read. Write in ENGLISH and sign yourself.

Alright I posted on Serbian in that INT part but it will be translated soon I'm sure :D And if Wikipedia isnt crystal ball why do they have those pages for the years of the future like 2007, 2008... with all scheduleed events... sometimes even 10 years in the future? --Nick4life 03:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Only if these events are certain, verifiable and notable. Like, you can have page on USA Elactions in 2008 but you cant predict who will win.

Controversy
Most well written articles have Controversy section. So, I think we should also start thinking about this section.

Mislim da i nismo imali toliko kontraverzije... ali mozemo da dodamo Legal issues/problems... i da spomenemo Nintendo vs EmuGlx iz 2001 (nacicu tacan datum). Slican text postoji na Zophar's Domain wiki strani, i skroz je slicna situacija bila. To moramo da spomenemo.

Feud with Svet Kompjutera moze da se spomene jer tu je bilo kontroverzija i kritika.


 * See? There are some controversies :)

Legal Problems
(DATE NEEDED, it was around 2001 or 2002 maybe?) Nintendo of America invoked the DMCA and sent a letter to Emulation Galaxy demanding that they remove few GameBoy Color roms they were hosting at the time. Ever since then Emulation Galaxy does not provide ROMs, ISOs or anything illegal.
 * Quote too. Do you still have the letter? Shinhan 06:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Letter was sent originaly to our ISP Verat.net, and then forwarded to us, it was posted on forums maybe even on the main page. Its not that important to quote the whole letter (see Zophar's Domain wiki page)... we must find the date. btw. The problem was in 3 or 4 roms for the newer games for GBC (as of 2001), we deleted them and that was it they didnt sue us or the Verat. --Nick4life 16:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Feud with Svet Kompjutera
copy/paste sa foruma, gudielines za ovaj deo controversy-a "E da to za feud sa SK-om nece biti nikakva prozivka, vec istoriski detalj u jednoj recenici. Gde je bitno spomenuti ne slaganja u filozofiji, kritike koje smo objavljivali na sajtu (i koje su nam eventualno odvukle paznju od drugih tema) i naravno da je ta prica zavrsena (od 2005 nista na tu temu nije objavljivano) a da se arhiva svega vezanog za to moze pronaci na sajtu... i to je to." --Nick4life 18:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Moto
""Quality over quantity" was and still is the main moto." I do not think moto is english word. Translation? Shinhan 06:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Its actually motto --Nick4life 16:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Anime/Manga growing popularity in Serbia in 2001?
There is one thing bothering me about that first line in the Anime/Manga part of the text. I realy dont remember Anime and Manga popularity growing in Serbia in 2001... it was realy stale, as any year before that. Sure there was always a small general anime popularity because of the old anime shows that were on out TV in early '90s like "Blue Princess", "Robotech", "Saber Rider" and few more... and there was a few people and very small groups of friends downloading and sharing other anime and manga ever since the Internet become available in Serbia, and few anime movies and fan created compilations circling the priates and CD clubs alike... but thats not what I would call growing anime popularity and it 2001 it was no different.

Anime/Manga "mainstream" (or at least less underground and far more wide spread) popularity grow in Serbia as the new anime shows started broadcasting (like Dragon Ball, Pokemon, around 2002) and with the spread of fast Internet for everyone (KDS, WLAN, ADSL ... and that was roughly around 2003-2004). So what I want to say is that EmuGlx added Anime/Manga forums and even section on the website WAY BEFORE "growing anime popularity in Serbia", we didnt start that grow of popularity single handedly but with our influence we sure helped out establish bigger then before anime fan groups and did our best to share and introduce as many people possible to the anime/manga. --Nick4life 17:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure, change it. I was talking out of my ass :) It just sounded kewl, so thats why I wrote it. Shinhan 20:15, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you have any suggestion on how to change it? How to sum-up all that story in few words? --Nick4life 01:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
