Generic Site Direction & Ideas Thread
« on: October 02, 2011, 11:28:15 AM »
Yeah, some input would be nice...

Essentially here's where we are.

The Channel: Is going well, but we need to think better about how to pull people onto the site via it.
Gaming sections: Kinda dead most of the time.
EG: Township's nice, but not much else occurring.
RTW: 3+ active mods. Definitely worth keeping open, though I'm wondering about integrating the workshop.
0AD: Needs expansion and we need to get plugging our stuff for it more.
M&B: Little to no activity, and just had a very pissed off PM from Ealabor pointing out that the password protect doesn't work and basically asking us to shut his stuff down:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Other stuff: Ticking along nicely.
Citizens: Not much to report.

Soooo... M&B we need to either do something or at least fold it up into a smaller space. RTW we could try and condense as well perhaps in terms of index space? What other ideas do we have? Are there any games we should support big-time but don't?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Well I'm sorry about that mate, I wasn't aware of the password thing not working. Any ideas why that would be? I mean the Brytenwalda private thread is still protected last time I checked.

EDIT* That's really quite strange because I just had a look and 286BC thread is password protected.

As far as new M&B people go, I did a fairly thorough run through over there but unfortunately, the majority of people don't reply. And those that do rarely stay here.

Cheers,

http://www.cbox.ws/ I think this is where to put it. Hey, your the one who named the topic :) Oh and TES:3 to answer "Are there any games we should support big-time but don't?" ;D.

Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Minecraft maybe, does anyone here play it though.
Scum of the highest degree and don't let charitable citizens tell you otherwise.

Me too. It's soo awesome. I created a city inside a ravine and all on the inside of the side. 8) Back onto the topic of the shout box though. To me that's a very well missed feature of the old forum. That link is the best answer yet. :) http://www.cbox.ws/. And back to TES: III Morrowind, we should also host some of the mods as well. That'll bring people around. :)

EDIT: It was really me and Deathnade that built that city. We also created and awesome train system. And it was two ravines crossed together like an X. We never finished it either (The city). :)

Was this one a random server or a private server of you guys?

An Exilian Minecraft server would be awesome!

Private server. :) And yes. I agree with SotK. I still like the Morrowind idea though
