Important reading stuff

[A Black Falcon]

That's a good idea. There definitely needs to be a standard.

The reviews were always technically within the forum, but now they are actually a forum themselves. It's the same but different

No, the current reviews system isn't in the forum. It's in the homepage software. :) But you knew that.. :)

Anyway, the question is, what standard for reviews should we use...

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. Something perhaps a tad more complex than rumblecity.net (the archives alone will ensure that), but something not much more complex. By the time someone thinks to post major gaming news on the page, and worse still, by the time anyone reads it, everyone's already seen someone's post here about it.

Given our current forum, rumblecity.net is probably the best model... tendocity.net would require more work, and that's exactly what failed so miserably with this homepage. :) (though it'll need modification, as you say, of course)

Yeah, a 'news' section would be kind of pointless here. I mean, have some newsbox or something somewhere (to keep that one "new homepage!" message in, for the next year... :D), but don't expect it to be used much. :)

I'm considering several options. One involves our new hero, etoven. You may have noticed the site went down this afternoon. Turns out our database somehow fell prey to several serious errors, stuff I would have had no idea how to fix. ol Erich had us back up within ten minutes.

I think he's earned his Hot Chicks Room.

Found a replacement for demon, then? (though he's still on msn sometimes) :)

... something bad happened to the site? Any idea why?

Anyway, I was willing to help make that batch converter if you wanted, but good to know you did it yourself just fine, good to know because now I can be lazy and still get credit .

He found a program to do it, I'm pretty sure, easier than making one yourself... :)
