Yoo?

No clue, let's find out in the coming hours

Yes, well, a mention of network gaming could be usefull.

 

[Tom]

well there is a lot of interest in it.

Hell of a lot of stuff about new FM/CM

btw i dont think the affiliation to SI would be that hard to get

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

Not at all, just takes a week of them looking at the site. We'll need to make the site following their rules though. And it might scare off BGS/Eidos...

 

[Tom]

nah, its only fair that we cover both games, i think they will like that

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

We'll need to set up version sections as well. 1+2+3 and their seasonal updates; 4+update; FM'05; CM5.

(Nothing will happen, if us 2 do it alone, so more input is welcome, especially on the willpower bit)

 

[Tom]

well the problem is ruud im happy to provide a lot, but i have no technical use, so i cant do a thing with the website BUT the content.

Yeah, i recomend a section for all games down to CM9798. lol

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

I'm very technical, but not up to date with coding. My last experiences were with qbasic on an old XT... Not counting some geocities shit.
We're both useless there.

 

[Tom]

you see, you think you're crap. I dont even understand a word you just said, lol

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

If people who aren't crap read that, they'll know I'm crap.

Anyway... as for content. Any more ideas? A chatroom maybe?

 

[Tom]

i was thinking that, but would there ever be anyone on? lol

you COULD do a mini forum, but not a proper forum, just somewhere you can ask questions.

Also, interactivity makes websites good, allow the users to connect with the website somehow, lots of polls

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

No no, the forum link will lead you here.

On interactivity: commenting in stead of the mini-forum. Flame had that in his mockup as well, and SI have it as well. Works very good.

 

[Tom]

yeah that kind of thing, thats better.

Have things like screenie of the month, adaptions on that to increase interactivity.

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

I don't know if that has added value in this game. It's nice to feature screens or fan artwork for certain games, but for CM/FM? (:/)

 

[Tom]

yeah it works, you have cool funny screenies, not neccasailry big wins, but funny stuff

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

Annual challenges...

In the final months before the next release, have a (friendly?) competition. Shortens the waiting period. Or have them as often as you wish.

 

[Ebonix]

Your crap Ruud

I could do the coding and **** if you want.

 

[Tom]

that would be 'you're' liam, not 'your'

Challenges arnt a bad idea Ruud, they'd be easier to organise on a website and then via this forum i think

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

SI affiliation will have them advertise our site on theirs, and a mention on the soccergaming frontpage will also help. We would definitely reach more people through a site.

 

[Tom]

oh aye, well like you say, the forums are still HERE.

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

SG will host it, if they like it enough, I believe they were advertising unlimited webspace and bandwidth earlier. A lot anyway.
