More news

[Hoi]

there's just not enough news, so I suggest adding a subforum in site content to allow people to post something they write, showing new content, or an update, a new map, ect.

Also like kaiser said adding a "news" tab to lobbys, so more people read it.

[imbaczek]

+1 much needed in one form or another.

[Peet]

There was already a community news function on the wiki which displays on the front page...nobody really used it so it wasn't reimplemented for the new site, apparently.

[Hoi]

There's just not enough news, maybe there should be someone who's responsible for that?

springinfo.info

hast thou forgotten? THat was it's purpose.

[imbaczek]

i think anything more than twitter is pushing it in this community. and even that will be hard. unfortunately.

idea: make a bot that scans the forum for [ANN]-titled posts and automagically put it in some rss feed. mods could edit the subject and split topics so proper threads (= bot food) would get created.

melbot has 95% of the work done btw, with its #news reporting.

I can see it now...

- smoth is looking at porn

- spiked is building a scale panzer to take all beer

- nemo is off kidnapping actors for his mocap experiments

- gnomre is developing a golf ball minigun, be afraid of his thick sacks of balls

- fang is still playing other things

- peet has stopped caring

- lurker is lurking.

we used to have to ability to post news on a little corner on the site and it was pointless because no one read it.

[Hoi]

I mean usefull stuffm, there's enough of that, also, with springinfo.info that's ok too, only real problem is to make the people on the lobby hear about it.

If it was front-page in the lobby and appeared in the topic of #main or something, i damned well think people would see it there.

[Pressure Line]

People dont read the #main motd anyway.

If you are desynced, dowload this and install into your 'base' directory

every time i try to play BA it shows me as unsynced in the battle room, but EE/Gundam/s44/whatever works fine!

Happens more often than you'd think.

Or the old "where do I get new maps/mods?" even though its written in purple less than 5 lines above

[BaNa]

but EE/Gundam/s44/whatever works fine!

No nub EVER in the history of spring has referred to those mods... >_>
