Here's an idea for the main site. How about an 'All' button after you click on a category. For example, if I press DS, I can click 'All' and see all of the DS games that have been ripped. Sometimes I just like looking at random sprites...

Which would use all of our bandwidth in an instant, loading hundreds of icons every time someone clicks it.

A random button might be a better idea.

I personally don't see anything wrong with just clicking each letter at a time if you want to see them all. Sure you can only browse one system at a time, but, yeah.

Or it could be text only, though I am actually seeing how pointless it would be right now...

Random button, why not?

So for a random button, do you guys want a random game, or a random sheet?

Yeah, a random sheet button could keep bringing you to things like text and menu graphics and things like that. And while that can be useful, I doubt it's what someone is hoping to find when they click a button to bring them to a random image. So I'd think a random game would work better.

That selection is actually going away and the search page will categorize the results instead.

But two random buttons would ruin the layout as it stands right now... I think we should try to settle on one or the other. If we can't (i.e. there's a lot of support for both sides), we'll try to figure something out.

Can we finally get rid that Project Prism board? I know most of you can't see it but I can.
