Well as the title says it, the forum has upgraded to a new and a better arcade software known as iBProArcade. It is much better and has a lot more features. You can check out the arcade from the top arcade button or any other arcade button on the forum.
I have successfully converted ALL of the games and ALL of the scores so you have nothing to lose. Surprisingly there was almost 5,000 total scores that were converted, I got that number when I ran conversion script.
If you notice the arcade home page, it is much more different because the champions are listed on there instead of the forum home page. It also has King of the Arcade and Leader of the Leaderboard. Getting to leader of the leaderboard is different and I will explain that in a separate Thread.
It has all the old 50 games and it had pacman but unfortunately, I cannot use it because of copyright issues. Ibproarcade never had a valid license to run that game on their software and neither do I and I don't really want to take the chance of getting sued so for anyone that wanted that game, I am sorry, I cannot do too much with that.
The games list is a little bit more different. It shows the best Score of all Time, actual Highscore Champion, personal best Score, Statistics, and Game-Rating.
Statistics and Game Ratings are the only two features I couldn't convert from the old v3arcade so sorry for that but those aren't really that important.
And as promised the Tournament feature has already been included and the first tournament will be held in a few days time. After people get used to this new arcade version. Tournaments can only hold 8 users at a time. So if there is a tournament open you better hurry up and get that position if you are interested.
Please note: You still need 10 posts to play the games. Banned users cannot even view the arcade so don't bother. Right now you need 0 posts per day to play but with this new feature it will be set to ONE then moved up to higher counts depending on the popularity of the forum.
If you have any questions go ahead and ask and I'll be happy to answer your query. I will post more threads regarding updates on the arcade and its new features so look out for that.
Thank you and enjoy this guys! :D
