We programmers at RF Generation like to add new things. Tonight, we give you our Christmas Gift. Sure, it is not Christmas, but think of us as the side of the family you do not see on Christmas - the side who has no problem giving you that fruitcake for Christmas. In addition, similar to those gifts of old with the classic disclaimer "some assembly required", there may be some bugs. We're working hard to fix them, but if you see any let us know. Anyways, you probably would like to know what is new. Here is the short list:

  • Submissions System Improvements, as told by me:
    • Revamped Variations: We no longer discriminate variations. In addition, if you make a variation on one page it will make it also a variation on the other page.
    • Revamped Rating Systems: Does a game have more than one rating? Is the rating only valid for a few consoles? Well, we can accommodate both of those now.
    • Intelligent Submission: We figure out the region for you now. Of course, if something is realized regionwide, do let us know. We have also made the script intelligent so that selecting the country brings up corresponding countries and regions. You can now add variations across regions... because we want you to and we love you. In a platonic sense, of course.
    • Animated Flags: Game or Hardware released in more than one country? Now, the flag shows those countries, rather than the overall region
  • Collections System Improvements, as told by Eddie "The Black Perl" Herrmann:
    • You can now mark folders as "for sale" or "owned"
    • Trade Search feature now checks all folders marked "for sale"
    • All Collections page shows owned game totals
    • Statistics page updated with total owned game stats and QTY/BOX/MAN totals
    • Settings page added - can choose default region and ignore duplicates
    • Profile page added for profile stats and management
    • Simplified country/regions selection
    • Tools Page added - has links for random game selection, missing image search, collecton links, and trade match features

As a personal plea, please submit variation ties for games across regions. Adding it for one entry adds it for all. So please, please submit! You'll be my favorite member! Just kidding, you're all my favorite members. But seriously, do submit. It's fun.

If you find any bugs, let us know. From us to you, enjoy the new features, and stay tuned, you never know when that next new feature set will launch. It may be sooner than you think.

Great Job guys.  I love how it counts the number of boxes, manuals, and games.  I'll probably be spending a couple hours exploring all the new stuff. 
 
Thanks for all the hard work on the site updates.  Excellent job and very valuable.

This is where my thoughts go and are never heard from again.

Well, maybe not, but this is the repository for all of my published thoughts and rantings. It'll make my day if you find at least 10% of it amusing and enjoyable to read.


Sorry for the other 90%.
