Alright, to prevent n00bs from turning this place into kiddieland, every new member must take a very easy quiz before allowing to register:
http://forums.sonicretro.org/quiz.php

The "Register" link has been changed accordingly.

Existing members are exempt from the quiz, of course.

I know this doesn't exactly help the board traffic, but IMO I'd rather read 3 intelligent topics than 10 stupid ones a week. This would be a pre-emptive strike before it's too late. Although the quiz may not be very precise and may filter in/out wrong people, it's better than nothing.

Members may reply this topic to voice your comments. Would it be too easy, too hard, good idea, bad idea, bugs, etc.

It's preety easy. And BTW, I just registered. Ok? I see your point, too.

And then by the gates of hell........ :evil: *shot*

I know I might be late on this, but welcome aboard, Asmodeus. (Do you mind if I still call you Shyguy Commander or The Overmind?)

[DDRKhat]

Well its only easy if you like Sonic enough..

[Korou Tenshi]

Man, the registration test sucks! I think it should have less shit about M68K (:wtf: is that?) and more questions about sonic!

[Quickman]

If you don't know what an M68k/68k/68000 is, then you are less likely to do well here. This forum is very specific about its members. We want intelligent people who are good ROM hackers, not ten-year-olds who know a lot about Sonic and want to discuss him in LARG MISPLET CPAITAL LTETERS.

Yes, but just because they're hackers, doesn't necessarily mean they're mature. Just look at "perfect chaos". There are also intelligent members who don't know the first thing about ROM hacking, but would still like to participate in serious discussions regarding S2B.

The M68K questions involve mostly definitions and simple facts that have very clear-cut answers. It's also a good test to see when people face something they don't know, whether they'll
a) look it up and try to learn about it, or
b) twiddling their thumbs and let ignorance be a source of bliss

If they're truly "intelligent", sure they'll know how to find the answers. It's all basic stuff, no full-blown ROM hacking knowledge needed. We want researchers (not necessarily ROM hackers), not people who say "since it's all opinion I can make up whatever I want, because, it's 'possible' right?".

I see what you mean, but this site wasn't made for rom hacking. I really don't know much more than the basics, but I'm doing fine. Plus, the test was rather easy.

I found it easy too.....
