IP.Arcade: Question for Management

[Axel Wers]

There are some custom apps of Arcade. I think that I'll try some of them.

But I have question: Are there any internal plans in future for develop of something like IP.Arcade? YES or NOT?

We are not currently planning on developing an arcade application.

[Axel Wers]

Well, thanks. Then I'll try some custom app.

IPS could maybe make a Game Arcade app :) just for phun :thumbsup:
Don't really think its that hard to make one :P

What means "currently"? It would be appreciated when IPS would develop this. I'd buy it. Online games are very popular for communities and this is what I am missing here.

Currently means "at this time". If we changed our minds and decided to expand and build an arcade application, we would likely blog about it at that time. I don't foresee it happening anytime in the near future myself, however.

It's a pity because apps from customers are don't developed fluently, their developers don't have time and app like this could be good improve for community.

While it's true that IPS has a fair amount of social sites being powered by IP.Board, a glance at the homepage will tell you that the product is marketed to corporate/business sites.

Unless you can devise a way to make an arcade somehow useful to a business related site (like has been done with the blog & gallery)... it's probably not gonna happen unless IPS decides to change their target market to high school kids living on part-time jobs.
