Tons of Flash+Javascript :[ I am. It looks nice, but a simple layout is better than flash-filled stuff (which doesn't work on some platforms/browsers, etc)

 

Thanks for answering questions though.

 

It's not flash..... the link just displays the preview of the design, which will be coded in VB4.

 

Anyways, those were skins for sportgfx.com and gamerstalk.com , my other forums...

 

We'll design one from scratch for SG..

Welcome Amit i have this to ask

If you Donate is it a month donation or is it like we have it now donor for life?

And ppl wold like to see death run again :d

 

Not decided yet.....

 

My target is to try and lower the burden on the members, and let them enjoy the game, while I make sure we generate the revenue from elsewhere without disturbing the peace on the forum.

Considering the new bosses seem to run a lot of forums and such things, i hope they don't standardize too much their interaction with the community only because they aren't willing to spend the necessary time, and i hope they'll try to keep SG alive in the same spirit... i think bureaucracy kills the relationship between members of a group of people. I wish them luck and i'll look forward to the new changes coming.

First of all, thanks for answering the questions so far, it's been insightful to the future of SG.

 

I just wanna say that I think being bought was an excellent move, SG is losing popularity because CSS just isnt the same (albeit, PB can get 24/24 now woop woop). When Blargh first posted your test forum http://www.fullyillustrated.com/clie...fuse/GT/GT.htm I couldn't believe how much this looked like the exact vision I imagined in a good gaming website. If we can go to something like that in VB4 with a little bit of SG's green flare, I'll be on the forums way more often.

 

Secondly, I have some questions about the actual changes that are being done. I know you guys have stated nothing major is going to change, but I disagree, it should change. Firstly with the admin system. Admins are great, they keep the servers clean of retards, but the problem is half the admins are inactive/don't do shit. I think cuts to all the admin ranks should be made so that it isn't a clusterfuck of people who just want to be immune to mutes/have reserve slots.

 

As for servers, what new servers are you planning for the games we're already in like CSS/Gmod/Minecraft? I think we have enough in all of them at the moment since the addition of gungame. Also, what new games were you planning to get servers for, if any?

 

Thirdly, I don't mind adverts, as long as they aren't pop-up windows on the site. I mean its good for you guys to make money, meaning the player base doesn't have to pay as much for their servers. Second part of adverts, is how will we advertise SG itself besides being on your list of domains in channel fuse? We are the first gaming community on there (second gaming forum). Garf's idea for youtube was well intentioned, but not the right idea, in my opinion. I would love to oraganize an actual channel that features our players gamplay/commentary (SteamGamersMedia) integrated into the new site or channel fuse itself.

 

Anyways thanks for taking your time and answering everyones questions, I know everyone is skeptical, but I think this change is going to help revitalize SG in a big way.

 

Many will not agree with me, but a good design will go a long way into growing this community. We probably don't want an intense skin like the gamerstalk one ..... what we need is a design like steampowered.com .... dark/professional/exclusive/user-friendly and inviting. Something like you wanted...for VB4.

 

While there WILL be changes, it is always advisable to take lots of time to implement them, else we run the risk of a major fuck-up. Nothing will be achieved in a short duration.....

 

We'll add more servers, more games....and before that, we'll make sure that the admins are given a set of protocols. They will be provided with their own section on the site (not forum) to interact and manage better. And yes, there WILL be a system to evaluate admins.

 

We're already in CSS/Gmod/Minecraft....and I'm hoping to add Garry's mod, Deathrun ...and whatever you guys demand. I'll soon form an Official SG Gaming Server Team.... comprising of the top experts at SG, and decide the source of action in a few days. I can add n number of servers anytime you want....but what we don't want is empty servers with no players on it.

 

Finally, the 'monetization' part. In the longer run, I would want the site to generate a sufficient revenue to fund itself to grow even more. It will require non-intrusive ads (which disappear when you log in), sponsored contests , sponsored inter-site tournaments, member donations and premium membership (if we ever implement it).
