Home Page Version 2.0

[FunkySwerve]

We have a bright shiny new web page, with up-to-date information, new polls, and all the relevant links from the forums. Check it out here:

www.dormantwarrior.adsl24.co.uk/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

We're currently looking for people to write articles, if you're interested, just send me the article, and if it's interesting and well written, on a topic related to HG, I'll put it up.

I like the new web page.

Question, there is a login, are we supposed to register and log in, or is that just for admins, because I did not see any way to register.

Thanks,

Steve

Since we eliminated those forums, there's no longer any need to register there. So yes, basically, it's just for administrative tasks.

Funky-

I like the site much better than the old one.

I'm curious, though, what the primary goal of it is. I doubt that it's a very useful place for many current players, since they can get much more from these boards.

If an important goal of it is to attract new players who find the site (as happened with me), I don't think it's as strong as it could be. With the possible exception of Mish's article about reincarnation, there isn't the kind of information there that would likely attract the new player (at least without having to delve considerably further). Clear information about what makes this server unique, such as our active and supportive communinty, growing number of servers, the 40-60 LL system, huge and ever expanding new areas, etc., should be obvious to a fresh viewer of the site who is looking for a NWN server.

(If you can't tell, marketing is my area.) Anyway, just some thoughts about focusing this on the prospective player.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts?

Pretty much the only marketing I did was in the polls, a couple of which are designed to show off server features, though the links to the player market and such can't hurt. I link it in my biobards sig, but that's about the only place people will see it, other than the vault page, which has a much more extensive listing of features. I spose I could copy the blurb from the vault over to the home page, but I'd frankly rather have articles, and I'm too busy building to play, let alone write any. So please, feel free to jot something down.

Just wanted to publicly thank Holes for the article he wrote, and let people know that we're still looking for more.

Thanks!

Could a link for this page be added to the forum link listing in the title area, or in the box of links under it? Would make it more obvious and maybe increase traffic there a bit.

[FunkySwerve]

We may, though honestly it's more designed to bring people here than vice versa. Depends on how much space we have, since there are a few other links I'd like to add, including HGE and Worldgate, and the direct loader.

Funky

[Lastone Yusee [SL]]

Ahh, I see. And those others would be nice to have more accessible links for in any case.

I got a e-mail suspended message when I tried to access the site.

Take care

Hmm i just tried also and received the same message...
Sounds like great idea and i would be willing to write a small feature about the quasiclass BFM if that is the type o thing you are looking for.

Aye, it got yanked, unfortunately, as the gentleman who was hosting it wound up unable to due to a real life issue. We're just relying on these forums, for now.

I got the same error, figured hosting was down. I can provide hosting for the site if needed.
