Title: Database search problem? Post by: NES_Rules on October 02, 2007, 08:14:47 PM When I select 'north america' and search for something in the database. Under the 'region' column, this flag appears [img width=21 height=15]http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/regions/U.gif[/img] instead of the normal USA flag. I can't tell if it's a flag for some country I've never heard of, or a cross between an America, Canadian, and Mexico? flag.
So is it a mistake, or something new? Title: Re: Database search problem? Post by: Tan on October 02, 2007, 09:45:06 PM When I select 'north america' and search for something in the database.

Well we've used a US flag for North America for ages now. Since it's politically incorrect the Admins found one that better suited the continent as a whole. US games will have a US flag in the game page, a Canadian game or Mexican game their respective flags as well. Unless a game is specific to a country and there's absolute proof of that, 90% of all North American games should have this new flag on them. Title: Re: Database search problem?

Title: Re: Database search problem? Post by: NES_Rules on October 03, 2007, 10:59:11 AM I figured that's what it was, but just wanted to make sure.
Title: Re: Database search problem? Post by: Gentlegamer on October 03, 2007, 08:49:12 PM I object in the strongest possible terms to this "politically correct" North American Union-esque abomination! At least give us the option of what flag to display.
This is almost enough to dissuade me from using this community! Title: Re: Database search problem? Post by: cverz2 on October 03, 2007, 09:06:28 PM I have to admit, I am not real "hot" on this idea. I am not as strong as gentlegamer, but I don't like it either.
Title: Re: Database search problem? Post by: TraderJake on October 03, 2007, 09:18:22 PM Forget it even happened. Do realize though that the vast majority of the games you play are indeed released in North America, not just the US. It's slightly unfair to show only a US flag when the US is only one of many countries in North America.
Needless to say, your word has spoken, and this is a moot point. Locked. |
