can u guys like

put actual descriptions to the featured episodes

its been like

"This episode by KFC mario uses some very interesting graphics"

"(i forget who) has done it again, this episode features a lot of smb1 graphics"

current one: "bossedit8 has released an episode that uses more normal and subdued graphics"

do u see where im getting at

The descriptions seem rather half-assed.

Why do we even need feature things anyway though. Everything has to be about popularity?

IMO, the owner of whatever's getting featured should get a PM from Joey where the owner gets to write a description of what's featured. I think. Also I would have sorta preferred that the NPC screenshot were used, but whatever it's not a big deal. It would also be really cool if I could correctly scale it to 1x1 instead of some blurry thumbnail.

Users can PM me if they want their own descriptions for featured stuff. I know I've never said that before but I don't have a problem with it.

I also led a poll a while ago, 8bit, asking if people wanted to keep or get rid of the featured content. The vast majority that voted wanted to keep it.

I'm, like, 99% sure that those descriptions accurately represent why those episodes are featured. Remember The Great Empire 3 and LFFTMK 1.0? Episodes obviously aren't featured because of quality (or even competent) level design.

I agree with Nien, it seems like you're talking about the user more than the episode/GFX itself.

FWIW I think that "don't judge by the screenshots" is a rule. Erm...

Could we make it a rule that Joey has to download and play the first 10 or so levels of an episode before featuring it?

ok that's a dumb ass rule, joey shouldnt have to suffer through that.

i feel like people should just submit their own descriptions or something, doesnt necessarily need to be the designer.

You're right; Joey should have to play the entire episode before featuring it.

I am legitimately unsure if you guys are being serious with those rules or not, because i wouldn't like to pLAY AN ENTIRE SMBX EPISODE to put it in a fucking orange box, that's not his job as an admin.

like i said, all joey needs to do is take descriptions from the designer/other players and put those up, which has been allowed but not announced.

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:40 pm

We could also do something else with that orange box.

Hey Joey, have you found time to take me up on my PM?

inb4 ads. Just kidding.

You could put announcements in there. Iunno.

Chip Potato · Postby **Chip Potato** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 9:35 pm

but this website is basically the equivalent of a small rural town. nothing ever really happens here. what announcements could joey even make

FanofSMBX · Postby **FanofSMBX** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 9:37 pm

I had a totally sad thought thinking "it could be used for SMBX news"... "Oh"

Ehem.

But what I meant was, instead of flooding each forum with a list like so ^, Joey could, and key word is COULD, put a scrolling news banner, or a page-based news banner with links to said topics.

Also, I did say "Iunno". I was just contributing to the conversation.

that's actually a pretty cool idea. reminds me of those little news updates in super mario sunshine, for some reason.
