How do you like the new site?

[manofphat]

Lets hear it! What do you like that's different from the old site? What was on the old site and is missing here?

[Landspeed]

It's super Sexy just like your sister

[SKULLCRUSHER]

I think this is just the beginning. Will take some getting use to but im sure ot will be much better on many fronts. Good work.

[Xzinum]

The site is much more IE friendly, i'm using IE6 right now, but some of the avatars are causing lag here at work, especially Landspeed's. Just an observation.

[Entropy]

Awsome work mano

[aftersh0ck]

It's nice, but I want a sig and avatar without having to pay :/

[Cleavage Monkey]

It's nice, but I want a sig and avatar without having to pay :/
I agree :(

[ORION]

It's nice, but I want a sig and avatar without having to pay :/

agreed. those of us who haven't donated yet aren't guna take a liking to this pay for avatar stuff, but it's understood and i'm sure we'll adjust :/

[silence]

maybe it's because i dont like change.. maybe it's because it wasn't as dark... not sure but im not exactly feelin the new look...

[manofphat]

maybe it's because i dont like change.. maybe it's because it wasn't as dark... not sure but im not exactly feelin the new look...

Yeah. I know what you mean. The website has a less "friendly" look to it. But the theme is functional and clean which is why I chose it.

[EyeMaster]

Lol, guess what I just voted... Just for fun!

[Cleavage Monkey]

I do like the fact it has a search function, not sure what all the groan, thank-you stuff is. Is it just fluff? I like the member list as well. Is this a PHPBB program? The look is not that much different than before....a little darker but we will get used to it. Nice job Winston (I still don't like having to pay for avatars and sigs though). Thanks for all your hard work...I appreciate it.

[Landspeed]

All I have to say is that $15 a year for an Avatar and a Sig is cheap, When your here everyday.

[aftersh0ck]

I know it's not a lot of money, but the fact that every single other forum out there has free sigs and avatars because it's usually just put in as a feature for every message board possibly in existence makes it seem like a big hassle.

[Fabulous D]

i like it though i really though the banners were kick ass on the old one :(

Many of the site that has the option to automate the processing for these features to members take advantage of it. Either that or they only allow avatar usage to moderators or administrators so they stand out. That's what I want, I want our contributors to stand out.

The banners will be rotating again in a couple of days ;)

[NIS3R]

I agree :(

i kinda agree but come on... most ppl are on more then me and don't give a cent! we almost didn't make it last week! what are you gonna do if TNR shuts down? mano is just trying to get some well needed help

[The Killing Joke]

mano is just trying to get some well needed help

Mano should suck it up, and if he wants a community, pay it out of pocket. ;) Ha, just kidding guys. (Although...)

:cool:

Crap - these smilies blow.

gonna miss gremwood's siggy though wont we wise! :P

[Cleavage Monkey]

I have donated I plan to donate in the future anyway...it's the principle of feeling you HAVE to pay to get other features (plus you can't have a signature unless you are in the top 2 packages...some people can't afford to be paying that much...including me). I think that is all anyone is saying. Donations before were just that...a donation. Now it is a subscription. It has a different feeling about it. But like I said earlier we all appreciate Winston's hard work and we are not trying to slam this but it is obvious an issue with more than one person.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

$115 a year for a signature I think is a little ridiculous. Sorry mano :(

[manofphat]

I know what you mean Kathy. The way that I looked at it though, is that now when you donate you can get something in return. Kinda like our way of saying thank you. I know what you mean when you say that it has a different feeling about it, before you were donating just because and now you are actually buying a service.

I seriously never thought that this would be an issue. Let me think about it and if you have any suggestions let me know.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Same thing. You're not paying for the signature. You're donating to the site and getting a signature in return. It's not meant to be affordable. Look at it this way, if only 21 people are gold contributors monthly ($14.99), we've met our donations fully.

[aftersh0ck]

It's just the way I see it, you've taken something that we've always had for free, and made us pay for it...just my two cents.

No objections or anything, I'm just stating what I noticed right away

Yeah I can see why everyone is a little ticked off about it and I'm extremely happy that our members are being mature as always and not making a big deal out of this and keeping it a humane factual discussion.

I'm going to go ahead and make the change now. Signatures will now be available at the bronze subscription level. If you ask me, $14.99 for a whole year to get everything you had before is reasonable. But that's just me I guess lol

The sig's will be available at the bronze and silver levels in approx 20 minutes.

[aftersh0ck]

Woot mano is sexy time

[Knight Templar]

I was fine with not having a signature, most people abuse it anyways.

I never saw this as a problem

[manofphat]

What do you mean abuse?

[ORION]

Cheeto, case and point :)
(when your sig is larger then 80% of your posts, you're abusing it.)

[Cleavage Monkey]

Thanks Winston .... And you will see my "donation" in the next few days.

[Knight Templar]

What () said

[gOOCH]

all the small text and pics are annoying to read, many things are too small
and il miss being able to identify people by their avatar

[J22]

cool website.

can't wait for the rotating banners...i can see my school in em'

[WiseGuy]

cool website.

are you taught by terrorists?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Gooch, you can still identify people by their Avatars. What's the problem ?
It just means you have to crack open your wallet once in awhile to get the uber features.

[J22]

are you taught by terrorists?

no, game developers

[manofphat]

I find it just as easy to identify people. Now their names are huge yellow and you can just scroll and see who they are.

[Cleavage Monkey]

Yeah but you with your towel coming out of the shower makes it easier to identify you :) (yeah I know it is a collar but it still looks like a towel)

[WiseGuy]

its definitely a towel, after mano's had a hard work out on the pub... dont make up lies manophat

[NIS3R s Dad]

no itsa schmoo.... oh sry old sauce.

[WiseGuy]

haha i remember when the truth about this came out at the NISER lan, lol

[Cleavage Monkey]

Do tell :D. Is it actually a feather boa??

[manofphat]

lol no it's my coat. It's a bomber

[Crayola]

but that cant be you in that picture, that guy's white

[Cleavage Monkey]

lol no it's my coat. It's a bomber
If it's a bomber you then need to get a kick ass pair of reflective mirrored sunglasses like Tyler.

btw keeping this thing on topic the site is looking great with the banners. The whole thing is starting to grow on me. Although I will miss the 76 page thread about Enforcers babes :p

Thanks for the comments Kathy :)

Enforcer still hasn't signed up for the new forum yet. I hope he gets his PM and e-mail soon :(

[Crayola]

:confused:

[RANDOM H3RO]

Honestly, liked the old setup.

And perhaps a way to ease things on the whole buying a sig/avy

Is make Custom avys and sigs the bonus....while having a regular avatar that's stored on the site (Something small nothing past 75x75) just so that at LEAST a person doesn't feel all plain.

I mean sure I haven't donated. BUT! Mano and Skull know what my plans are so either way I shall prevail.

[WiseGuy]

random who are you?

[RANDOM H3RO]

*Shrug*

I thought everyone already knew such information.

[manofphat]

Agent Cheeto

[SKULLCRUSHER]

I don't know who anyone is anymore. Everyone changes their bloody name as often as underwear. How are people to recognize you if your name changes so often. Sometimes I'm playing with all the regulars on the server and I don't even know it. People say hi to me like I'm supposed to know them and all their nic names - well, I'm old and cant keep up.

All hail to those who can retain and live up to their original name. Excuse me, I have to go crush some skulls.

[WiseGuy]

i dont change my underwear that often :S

[RANDOM H3RO]

I went through a name cycle completely out of randomness.
I'm always known by Cheeto though, Monkeys said it best "You're still Cheetos to me."

I droped "The Cleric" cause it wasn't a given name.....
Random Hero is, so is Cheeto

So you'll see one or the other....depending on what I'm feeling.

Cheeto is......"RANDOM H3RO"

[The Killing Joke]

I already those sunglasses ;)

*As Ernie* You ATE the SANDBOX?! :lol:

(...those old enough to know, will get it.)

[werdUP]

I dont get it, and i miss having my avatar & sig

[NIS3R]

Cheeto, case and point :)
(when your sig is larger then 80% of your posts, you're abusing it.)

second that! -__- but atleast we always usto know which one was cheeto!
lol remember when you quit ogl? i said who is this? adn it broke the mood! :P

I already those sunglasses = and NIS3R award 4 gramma werst goes 2! (atleast he has 1 award i take all his from the arcade! :P) let take a second to point out a face book group mano is in: "I judge you when you use poor grammar." so lets all take a second here, to... how do you say it... JUDGE mano! :P ROFL

a few things i would like to see come back:

- pics of map in play
-donations to go, donation goal, donaters for the month
-a clan section where we can see who is in the clan
- (lol hard one to word) when you accidentaly change the web addred then go back your comments still usto be in the edit box, not anymore ( this very well could be on my end )

[mmmkay]

I have to agree with Ger here!

[Knight Templar]

You agree with crushing skulls? Isn't that a little hardcore?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Yea, But That's Just The Way We Roll. Woo Hoo

[Knight Templar]

Mano, run a new poll, i'm sure more people have become accustomed to it

It said on the poll that it was public.

lawler pwnt

[SKULLCRUSHER]

I say we all beat-up on Christian, since he's a 'Hater', he's French and he drives a Miata, which is really not a car. Its more like a shoe box with wheels - made in Japan.

[Landspeed]

Christian should pimp his miata
http://www.superjamie.net/garage/4x4-mazda-miata.jpg

[SKULLCRUSHER]

OMG Nick, that thing is priceless. Christian could go 4 x 4'ing on the Ottawa river in the winter with that puppy. I'm not so sure the French gurls will be interested in him though.

[Landspeed]

I found a pic of Christian and his last Girlfriend
http://www.lmmfao.com/images/funny-pictures/Big-Girls-Need-Love-Too_.jpg

[SKULLCRUSHER]

OMG, Nick, stop already...I almost sprayed my coffee across my screen when I saw that. Poor Christian, I didn't realize the French liked their women extra-large.

[SCHMAT]
