So, What D'ya Think?

Now that the site seems to be up and running, and possibly a step just beyond merely functional, let us know what you think of our project. What kind of features would you like to see us work on in the future? Would you like a big forum presence, or hyperbole laden editorializing, or coverage of a specific topic? Let us know!

I would like to see more Re-views! Oh, and pancakes. Lots of pancakes.

Great looking site, guys, I wish you all the best of luck with it. If you need any help, such as news, reviews, and what not, I''d be happy to help out.

Thanks for the offer Veloxi, but more importantly thanks for dropping by. The best thing anybody could do right now, is stick with us for a while and see if we provide something worth coming back for. I really want this to be a community driven site, and I think the forums will play a large part in that.

We aren''t trying to break any sort of readership records, and we''d be perfectly happy just to establish a core group of gamers and regulars. You want to help, then help us form that.

Looks great! Is there a way to edit/delete posts? I''ve only been here 15 minutes and have already goofed.

--- I see the big EDIT button for these forum posts... I mean posts on the main page.

--- Not trying to nitpick, I think the site looks great. But just noticed that the GMT settings seem a little off. I think Eastern time should be GMT -5, but I need to set it to GMT -8 to make the times jive. Just tell me to shut the heck up anytime.

IMHO The main site looks a little unpolished. It doesn''t look slick/smooth enough.

Oh and it''d be great if you can get Spunior on-board and maybe some devs to post here. =]

I hate to break it to you, but I don''t think you can edit the current comments system. That said, we''ll be upgrading to something much better in the next few weeks!

The times are actually a server side issue with our hosts, they''ll be fixing them in the next week or so. I guess for now we''ll have to pretend everything we do isn''t three hours late

To be honest, I''m not happy with the main page myself, it''s mostly my own slow learning of PHP that''s taking the most time. You can expect some re-designs and tweaks as time passes, for now we just wanted to get things running and moving forward.

If we brought Spunior on I''m, sure the server would bow under the assault of news and explode

Is it possible to display more messages per page on these forums? Its currently a bit low and I hate having to do next page links for big topics.

Thanks guys, I can now enter a blissful coexistance with everyone around me, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Or maybe not.

Cheers guys, good luck with the site.

Congrats on getting the site up, I''d like to see more discussion about the state of games in general. But then again, I''m weird that way.

I''m not an expert on what would make a good site... I don''t know anything about colors or PHP or site layout... I''m not ""good looking"" or ""very literate"" or ""getting laid""... I don''t ""always do the laundry,"" or ""ever take a bath""...

ahem... sorry.

But I like this site, and am really looking forward to what you guys come up with for it. You''ll get hits from me, and maybe even a post or two if I can think of something halfway witty to share. Keep up the good work guys.

I like the whole concept very much.
I''ve helped run a few gaming sites in my time and I like this idea a lot. I''ll be a reg. visitor!

If you ever need anyone with experience to write articles for you or do reviewing, just let me know!
I also have a lot of experience in Web development and graphics (especially graphics) as well.

I only thought that Elysium''s presence would attract losers like himself. I didn''t think someone would be offering fried anything around here..

OK... I don''t want to get in a fight with you guys here (but I might challenge you to a duel in Subspace or Raven Shield [watch your back])....

If you be good and give me chocolate in exchange for fried spuds, I''ll make them for you. Heck, I may even fry some green tomatoes! Now if you think that sounds disgusting, wait until you''ve tried them! W00t!

What's the story with all of those double apostrophe instances in the early posts?

Oh, and I'd like to thank the webmasters for keeping the pages clean, simple, and fast-loading for those of us with slow connections. No browser-destroying flash/huge-image madness. Hurray!

Bit of a mis-step in the database migration when they went from the first version to the second.
