If you get bored, you may wanna check the spelling and grammar all over your site... It is pretty bad :cry:

Look forward to some visible progress.

[ReaKon]

Bloody hell, it is rather bad. Its not as if you do it with your posts though

even the bookmark at the bottom of the screen when you open the website spells manhattan like "manhaten"!

[Major_Gilbear]

My fave miss-spell is 'Racketeers', Are these busty women rocketeers, or what?

[Deathblow Luc]

Maybe they play tennis... 8)

[Natus]

Youre alive... bugger... just ruined my day... :(

[Beowulf]

Yeah, fix the grammar. Every damn page has at least 12 to 15 mistakes. It's appalling.

[chemical ali]

navel, infentry, arial, racketer- sounds like a drugs rackete
who wrote it must have been on a narcotic substance i cant even spell those words wrong if i try

[Beowulf]

Let's not forget the almighty 'downlaod'.

[Deathblow Luc]

Recordatory: A month has passed, spark...screenies, code, anything?

[Comrade Kal]

Who on earth thought it might be a good idea to give this guy hosting at cncguild?

[chemical ali]

des0 gave it to him

[Ash]

...He was drunk at the time (or so he tells me...)

As much as I hate n00b bashing, I'm afraid I've gotta agree with Kal on this one.

Sparky, I suggest you a) get the webshite..ah, website sorted and B) Get some progress visible. Else I'll be having words with Des0.

[Comrade Kal]

Well, the guild is that, a guild. A mark of quality. I say give him a month to sort things out or else we boot him out.

[Banshee]

Kal, CJ, and many others... his site might even have an apalling spelling, but... the guild sites got a similar effect to the ones hosted in arm-ent (when it existed).

- Halo AoA: http://haloaoa.cncguild.net/ : Should be up soon since the stone age

- RA2: Renegade: http://ra2rene.cncguild.net/ : This is the BEST site! It's Ensim's site ... Yoshi didnt even wasted his time uploading his site yet

- ROTC: http://cnc2.cncguild....php?id=modinfo : Probably the best of the sites mentioned here, however, not updated for a very long time, it has a wrong speliing in the Manhattan link and a secret option between the news and forum. Layout appears to not be finished.

- Robot Storm: http://rstorm.cncguild.net/ : Beautiful layout... but just layout. There is no content in the whole site. Nothing, neither a testing news .

- Tiberian Dusk Evolution: http://graveyards.cncguild.net/ : No menu, no news, no content... darkelf still didnt fixed the problem or didnt uploaded the files properly.




Now, if you compare Manhattan to the other network sites that are good (like YR Argentina, Reneclips, PPM, Code Red, D-Day, Sudden Strike (although that shoutbox annoys), Tiberian Alert and YR1.002, then you can bash it

[Comrade Kal]

Perhaps, but it's not just the site, it's the mod. On last count, the modmaster was asking 'How do you add new units in ra2?'

I mean, people are interested in a lot of the mods you list there. We havent heard form this chap in ages. I say we issue him an ultimatum: 1 or 2 weeks to reply and let us know the sites still active, and 1 month to buck up his ideas.

[Ash]

He's had his ultimatum.


We do need to get the websites fixed, as the admins have discussed. I don't care what, it isn't good that sites are being left to rot.


What we need is some way to speed up progress on our hosted mods. That would in turn make the websites more active. I for one know TA's been less openly active (all progress being behind the scenes. We don't want to give too much away atm, there's a lot of hush-hush ideas). Thing is, there are very few people left in the community who are willing to join mod teams...

[chemical ali]

sparks why dont you just give up ur mod and learn from the others like help hunt7s with his mod

[Comrade Kal]

There are too many megalomaniacs in the community. Look at FPS mods. In RA2 people do odd jobs and have them on resource sites, somebody might join a team for a while but then after they work out the basics they run off and start their own mod which no-one cares about.

In FPS communities everyone works together to make truly great mods. Although that might be something to do with the fact that FPS' are much harder to mod and make graphics for so you need people doing different jobs, but still.

[Deathblow Luc]

Kal, i already gave spark a month...

Banshee, Halo: AoA site is there. Just write /main.php after the subdomain. I have asked to make a redirection from index.php so site can be accessible from subdomain (dont ask why the link at the site points to the subdomain...i dont know either).

The admins, well, we have discussed that we seriously need to improve site look and content, however, most of us are too busy. Or too inactive.
