    Out of curiosity, what do you do when people suggest arcade games for your forum and then post a link to some site with the game? I find this a problem because I can't find any clear way to explain to said members that a game has to be in the right format for the arcade to add it, so I end up getting half a dozen PMs a week from people saying 'such and such game is really awesome, can you add it please?'

    Now, I would actually add said games if I could do so. Many of them are good suggestions for games, just I can't convert games and that they're never in an actual possible to add format. Often I ask for them to be converted on those arcade game download sites, but as you can guess, those sites barely reply to anyone's suggestions, so it makes it kinda frustrating.

    Any ideas?

    We try our best to find the game mentioned, failing that a similar game within the same genre, failing that we will tell them we cant get a hold of it. I wish I knew how to convert them, I would add loads of requests :)

    Now and then we specifically ask for any requests for the addition linking them to the choice of games at the free games download site.

    That is what I do. It's just when you get all these PMs suggesting games and posts suggesting games, it's kind of difficult for anyone to understand that not being able to add that game in particular is a technical limitation rather than an administrator choice.
