I went through all 94 pages of General Gaming Discussion and snagged all the Castlevania threads:

...

The Castlevania Megathread is the first one, I thought maybe we could cram all the other ones into that one. I also searched around elsewhere but couldn't find anymore.

Edit- Found two more in General Retro Gaming

As the Belmont Clan grow in number, Dracula once more awakes from slumber...

Oh? You thought I was done feeding the Megathreads? Ha! I've only just BEGUN!!!

...

That's all the Final Fantasy threads from General Gaming Discussion, General Retro Discussion, Nintendo Talk and Sony Talk.

You just levelled the Final Fantasy mega thread up to 126 pages! *Victory Fanfare*

(I've merged all but 2 of the suggested threads into the FF mega thread - I kept the FF/Dragon Quest thread and the FF/Gears of War news threads separate, as they deal with two separate franchises, and their topics are not about crossovers). :]

The Sonic Megathread is HUNGRY!!!

Phew! All this merging has got me in the mood for some chili dogs!

In just this one post, you managed to earn +64 points!
Now, it's our policy that mods cannot earn Duplicate Hunter badges, but I feel it worth recognizing that, for this post alone, you would have earned the Rank I & II Duplicate Hunter badges for your profile, and would be well on the way to Rank III.
I believe that in itself is well worth celebrating.

Congratulations, Guinea. :]

I don't think we need five of these threads but the title needs to be appended to each post (expect the main) otherwise the joke would be lost.

Fresh new Castlevania thread just dropped, the Castlevania Megathread could use a snack! (and a pin at the top of the page at this rate)

I'll leave this one separate to the megathread Guinea, as it contains a link to an external download.

As a general rule of thumb, it's best we steer clear of merging threads in the "General Repo Talk" sub-forums with threads in the rest of the Forums (and same goes with site suggestions - best to leave them where they are, or merge with other site suggestion threads on the same topic if all marked as solved). :]

Just to answer a few queries before moving on to the most recent page of suggestions:

Just asking for a friend does it count when someone creates a duplicate thread himself and then self reports to get some brownie points ?

Oh I'm afraid not dear RD, but I admire the lateral thinking! ;P
Of course, you're always welcome to seek out and share any Duplicate Threads that you happened to find which weren't all authored by you (in fact, we'd welcome it!).

I considered joining the Duplicate Hunters, but apart from still being too mentally broken to easily identify similar topics, I figured it was also too much like X and thus, disgusted me to compare myself to that. Sorry. I'll help the site in other ways, if that's alright.

That's ok χKai, if at any point you feel that you might have found some similar threads, send them over and we can take a look for you if you wanted a second opinion. And if not, as you say there are plenty of other ways you're getting involved already.

Also, I have never used X (nor Twitter, now that I think about it), so I can't really comment on the comparion. I guess I prefer to think of RGT as being distinct from other social media platforms though. :]

I can see the scoreboard?

Currently the scoreboard is not publicly visible, but is being recorded in a separate area of the site. We can publish it if that is what active participants would prefer, but have mostly been keping track of scores privately unless requested. :]

I mean, I'll keep my eye out, but my short-term memory means I probably won't even realize if a thread has been done unless it was like, some really intense conversation, or something important and personal to me. Otherwise, I won't remember. If I have even the slightest headache, I can't think properly; it's why some days I can barely put two sentences together, and other days I'm dropping text walls.

@Xdqwerty has been kindly submitted merge requests via DM for a short interim, adding those suggestions and scores below -

Inazuma Eleven 3: Ogre DS Full English Translation released

Sorry if this isn't the proper format, but the DS version of Inazuma Eleven 3 recently got a full (barring some tutorial messages) English patch recently, shared in the Reddit link below. I am testing it right now, but it seems to run fine. Source...

Inazuma Eleven 3 (DS) English patch

This is not a drill, this is a complete translation of this version of the game. Nomura-RH gives freedom to upload and share the patch, even to improve it by adding what is missing.

The names of each rank are given in the post above yours.

And yes! Duplicate Hunter badges are awarded to Users for reaching certain score milestones. The first badge, The Rank I Duplicate Hunter badge, is awarded once a User has scored 10 points.

Each time you find and share two threads that can be merged together, you earn 1 point.

Two threads merged = 1 point,
Three threads = 2 points
Four threads = 3 points

...and so on.
