This thread is here to keep everyone informed of the latest updates to the site and community.

We have many ideas for changes to make to the site (mostly minor) but should greatly enhance the efficiency of the site and make it sleeker.

We also want our community to be as active as possible, this means playing on the servers, posting on the forums, chatting on IRC and Vent, and most important of all... getting us new members!

So, if any of you have ideas for the site or the community as a whole please post your suggestions and we'll take them in to consideration. Below is a list of recent changes and planned changes so far:

Recent Changes
  • Updated the server info box, now has game icons and links that can be clicked to join the servers.
  • Expanded server info box with number of players/total, current map and more.

  • Updated some padding and aligned the center content in-line with the menus.

  • Updated the homepage news skin template to use the same theme as the rest of the site.


Planned Changes
  • Changes to the War Info box to show date and other information.

  • Ability to Log Out (lol)

  • Fixing large image posts so as to not bugger up the layout.

  • Updating Team Rostor's and keeping them up to date.

  • Fixing gallery posts and maybe create a page just for iSeries photos and write ups listing who was in attendance, matches, happenings and so on.

  • Maybe some changes to the skin or header.

  • Create a regular email (monthly or quaterly) to be sent to all community members with latest updates and news (for those who don't visit the site very often).

  • Generally fix layout issues with certain forms and parts of the site.

  • Start downloading SourceTV demos of all matches and get them in the match reports.

  • Write complete and detailed match reports, including player names of both teams, time played, a brief overview of the game, links to websites etc..

  • Add team specific icons or badges where people's names are displayed.

  • Add youtube video embedding to the forums and news

  • Add a chat function or possibly irc connection to the site.

  • Rostor of active community members who're not part of a team (for mixing)

lol, thanks Joey.

Thanks for the suggestion ELIMINATOR, not sure about 'training' but thinking about it maybe we could have a 'mix' rostor. All those players who aren't lucky enough to get on one of our teams but still would like to mix with us. We often find there's not many of us online and I'm sure we'd be able to make up the numbers with some of the more active community members. Keeping in touch through vent, xfire, and steam is ofcourse important too.

How about badges under peoples names to show who is in which team.

A buddy list. I don't know what purpose it would have.

Is there a way to embed Youtube videos into posts? Yes? How? No? Make it so.

How about a real time chat thing at the top of the site. Is that possible? Because that would look cool.

Is it possible to have a picture of our genitals below our avatars? Because that would look cool.

100% pointless post

jokes.

But seriously, I like how everything is heading. Especially a mix roster, so many community members just aren't active enough, or just play gg all day.

Nice work.

Team badges - Definitely, good idea.
Buddy list - as you said, why?
Youtube vids - sure, easy enough to do.
Real time chat - Not a bad idea, rather than javascript chat or something it could auto connect members to the IRC channel? Possible anyway
Genitals on display - Possible but we don't want everyone to laugh at your wrinkly balls Smiddy...

An almighty badge to show i am the king ?
An " official war in progress " thingy

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We will destroy the bug menace & ensure that the human species is the only species. We shall never surrender.

I wonder if theres some sort of app whereby you can come on the site and tick a box if your free to mix that evening, so that people can just come check the site instead of spamming everyone in existence on xfire.

yeah good idea Joey, that's sort of what I was thinking with the mix rostor, some way for people to see who's available and active for mixing. A box to say 'available for mix' would be pretty cool. We really need those people to idle on vent too though.

I imagine that becoming a side menu item, with boxes for 6-7pm, 7-8pm, 9-10pm, 10-11pm 11-12pm, and you can tick which you are available for each day... Might look into that at the weekend

Cool Pet0r, got a link so I can take a look?

its called a "gather " and ESL has it so you could take a look ?

Hardie has left now and he was the guy chosen to speak to our sponsor about creating something more suited to our needs. What I would like is to keep our servers but have a sponsor pay for them :S

Any ideas anyone ? Anyone wanna take sometime to talk to people ?

As we r the Milk Bandits is there no like milking Factory that could sponsor us like British Milk Inc. or (i don't know wheter u guys have Campina or something?)

Milk Inc. goes global and younger. A way to get youngsters back @ drinking MILK and derivatives...

Great Marketing my guess...
