How about increasing the size of the box at the top, so you can see six forums topics and the 'Join chat' button is under the 'upgrade' button?
Seems that the more topics I show at the top, the slower the site goes. So I keep it to a minimum. [wink]

Hey. I moderate the forum still, I just don't have much time at the moment to map. I'm not used to alot of the newer problems out.

i cant think of anything drastic to change but i do know what i like allready.

love the news grabber on the main page, i get on here every day before work and at the least see whats new in the world of gaming/modding.

but by far the best thing is modsonair. ive tried to listen to other podcast such as pcgamers and they just ramble on about pointless stuff...like zombies in one episode. but not modsonair its very informative and fun to listen to. i all ways end up laughing out loud at least once while listening. keep up the great work!!!

Just a quick idea for the tutorials... a Flag system like youtube, but, not for Flagging bad content, just incorrect content, when enough flags are made the tutorial can be pulled from the site and given in an email/PM back to the author along with the original comments from the tut about whats wrong with it.

Some sort of ability to edit the tutorials is needed. Incorrect tutorials are putting people on the wrong track. Obviously you guys cant test the tuts or error check them, that would take too long, but the community can.

Maybe something as simple as allowing comments at the end of the tuts? Even when someone wants to change their own tut, they have to open a thread, like Col Bilkos great minimap tutorial; 99% correct but one or two incorrect things needed changing, which were addressed in a thread, which is now buried among thousands while the tut remains incomplete.


Could probably extend that and use a wiki setup, and having to be registered to this site to make edits.

A splash of color around would keep me happy, i can suggest 3 colors (avatar)


Not only do I agree more color would be nice, I also second your choice in colors[rocking]

I for one always thought the avatar pixel limit was abit harsh here.

- fewer colors mean less images and code which mean faster loading pages
- less color often means less clutter and easier reading (even though it could be boring)

I'm glad I didn't move forward with the less is more design theory.

Most everything with the site is great.

The one complaint I have aside from tuts, being incorrect, is that I find the search engine to be limiting, and difficult to use. I can't use literals, or other search filtering.

Aside from that I would give a big thumbs up to the wiki idea for tutorials.

Also I prefer the less is more. I would prefer to have faster pages than more color.
Thanks for keeping the site going.[jumping]

The only problem I have with the suggested wiki style is that it would have to be monitored and tested constantly as I can see it, like so many other wikis, becoming very messed up and confusing very quickly.

i too find the search engine confussing sometimes. what if you could choose where you wanted to search on the site say as in search the forums only or just downloads etc... that may help finding what your looking for easier and cut down on repost of the same question in the forums.
