    I have just got this pad as I was looking for a spare one local to me but I have never seen this colour before.

    Anyone know what its official name is ?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Looking into this it may be a Fox Data pad. They had a very limited run in the UK

    You sir, have a very special Fox Data controller.
    These are very valuable.

    :D Awesome I first thought £10 for two pads was a good deal and now it has turned out to be a Foxdata pad.

    Thanks for confirming I hadn't come across that source.

    Please read the rules before listing items for sale. Twice your sale has been removed because you don't read the rules.

    I have never seen someone completely ignore the rules - TWICE... and manage to break so many of them!

    • You need 50 posts to sell on the forum. You had less the first time.
    • Spam posting to reach 50 posts is a bannable offence. You bumped threads up to six years old for no good reason right after it was removed the first time. Coincidence?
    • You need a piece of paper with the forum name, your name and the date. You didn't have it. Twice.
    • You HAVE to set a price. You didn't. Twice.

      You are very lucky you haven't been banned. WE WILL NOTICE spam posting - you're the second person to do it in as many days. You'll find your post count once again below 50 - you need 50 QUALITY posts to sell here. Or list it on eBay and link to it in the eBay thread ONLY.

    I don't see what the issues with my posts yesterday, they where legitimate replies to others threads. I could understand if it was 50 original threads, but where do you outline what a "good," post is. By all means I will follow your rules and I didn't mean to break them but how am I supposed to get the posts I need if you are marking them as spam ?

    Oh sorry, my bad I didn't see the Validation part. Once I get my 50 posts I will try again. Cheers

    A quality post is one that contributes to the thread. I'm not saying you have to start an amazing thread on a highly interesting topic, just add something that contributes to the discussion.

    So, for example, you gave advice on repairing a 3DS. Good post.

    Bumping a thread from April about amusing Japanese use of English in a game with "that Engrish" - not a good reason for bumping a thread that nobody else has spoken in for the past seven months.

    Bumping a SEVEN YEAR OLD thread about a GBA asking "what did it go for?" - well, that's definitely not a good reason to bump a thread that old. It was seven years ago - the price will have changed now! Maybe you were asking about the post I deleted from the (probably banned) user four months ago - again, don't do it. He can't sell here DUE TO THE 50 POST RULE. Don't encourage discussion of sale with new users.

    A thread on Sonic prototypes - drx posted his YouTube videos a week ago. You then replied to the thread, saying there are videos on YouTube. We know - the person who posted them already linked them! For the record, linking to a common site such as eBay or YouTube isn't construed as quality posting. It's fine after you hit your 50, of course.

    We don't have an official rule on bumping old threads - we're not anal about it like some forums. However, we ask that users employ a bit of common sense - if a post hasn't been touched for months, or years even, only bump it if you're contributing more information to it. Once you're over your 50 (we let one or two slide under - just don't be obviously bumping posts to get to the magic number), questions would be appropriate, too if it encourages more discussion and isn't already covered in the thread.

    Oh, and the other unwritten rule - we have an edit button. Use it rather than double posting ;) Same goes for the multi-quote button.

    Thanks. You don't have that far to go, anyway.

    Yes, they are. Just because they were a company advertising in magazines, doesn't make them official. It's just a nice custom job - like Torsten Rachu's work. Nice, sure. People will pay money for them, yeah. Official, though? Nope.
