Backend Maintenance

NYC_GI — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:55:21 -0600

Just a heads up to everyone, in the next few days we will be doing some backend work to the site that will make things a lot cleaner and more efficient for the admins (organizing folders, moving to a new directories, etc.)

During that time we may be putting the site into maintenance mode, and may be offline for a few hours. Once the move is complete please let us know if you notice anything odd or otherwise out of place (missing images, etc.) and we will try to resolve any issues as quickly as possible.

I'll post here once the updates have happened... hopefully you guys won't even notice a thing, but I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop in case you guys can't access the site for a bit.

Hey bro,

Good looking out. We are always looking for feedback from the community as it helps us grow and expand to the needs of the user. It is on the backlog :-)

Registration Button

Hey, I dig the site, but sometimes the "register" link at the bottom is not immediately in view depending on the length of the page content. If you added it to the "User Login" header next to the username & password fields it'd be a lot more intuitive. It took me a little while to figure out where to go to register.

Forums have been condensed! Along with some other minor changes I think we are pretty well structured for now. Thanks everyone for all the great feedback. :-)

Looks like there are more posts in the forums lately. A few ideas... Maybe keep up the trend by rolling the "Business & Production" section also into Game Development (only one thread so far...)? I also feel like the Students section could be better labeled as "Breaking In" and the Help Wanted section could be better labeled as "Indie Game Dev" or something similar, which may get more people to post in those sections. In truth, people looking to break in should be participating in Indie Game Dev, so maybe those two should be consolidated as well...

Cheers,
Alex

Yeah that sounds great, when traffic improves a lot to the site than it might have to be expanded out again but I think right now that would be a great idea.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick question. We've been thinking of condensing the forums to better facilitate conversation and we're wondering if anyone had any objections to this.

The idea is to combine the Art & Animation, Game Design & Writing, Programming, and Audio forums into one big "Game Development" forum. Then all discussion of development related topics could be posted there instead of clicking through multiple forums.

Does anyone have any major objections to this? It's always possible to seperate them out again if we find it isn't working. Anyway, we'll probably make the change in the next few days unless we hear some good arguments as to why we shouldn't.

Thanks a lot for any feedback!
