Forum Change

(Justice) #1

This is probably not going to happen, but suggesting can’t do any harm.

I’m a addicted ET player and would love to see a official website for ET. My suggestion is changing the layout of this forum so it will be used by most ET players. With a little promoting in famous and official clans, this could work out to something.

Here’s a bit what I had in mind:

Brink

[INDENT]Etc.
Enemy Territory: Quake wars
Etc.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Discussion forum
News
Clans & Servers
Editing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Tutorials
Support
Media (Artwork)
Offtopic (ET)
General SplashDamage Discussions
Introductions
Off-topic
Q3MAP2 Support
Community Quizzes
Xbox Live Community Leaderboard
Website Suggestions & Feedback[/INDENT]

I kinda based it on the BFH forums. One community for the whole game brings people together and are more likely to keep playing. ET is getting fragmented, which is just a big waste.
I’ve never played Brink or Quake, so I do not know which forums are required… You could also say I’m too lazy to set up a suggestion for those :smiley:

But if everybody would take part in this, promoting this website in their own clans, communities, other communities, etc. this really could work out.

Looks good, but creating one giant community page won’t really do the trick I’m afraid.
I mean, you can’t stop people from creating their own pages. I don’t think it would attract more people to these forums as it does now.

Others games do. People are both active on their clan’s forum and the official ones.

Looks good!!

definitely worth a try.

8 years after release seems a little late to start an “Official” site imho

So trying this can not do any harm. It could only go upstream.

good luck, I pretty much only keep our site open to mirror downloads for people here

We’ve got some retooling coming up, but generally, we only create new sub-forums when there’s sufficient demand. Doing it the other way around leads to unnecessary fragmentation - you’re left with a bunch of barely used forums, which in turn discourages new members to join up and post in them.

Incidentally, on the subject of Wolf: ET news, if anyone has anything related to the game they’d like us to promote here on the site (tournaments, new mods, etc), please drop us a line at communitymanager@splashdamage.com.
