Hey there SC2SEA Forumsgoers,

Just had a thought for a possible "Other Games" forums page, would be nice to discuss what everyone else is up to when they aren't laddering, new games that are coming out etc. Even though the site is primarily a SC2 Gaming site, I wouldn't see harm in talking about gaming and games in general.

Feel free to use this thread to put up any other ideas for forums if you need.

I've been using the "General" forums for stuff like this (See: Beat Hazard, Braid).

Do you think this forum serves adequately, or do we really need another?

[Aean(:]

We can use General for now, since the community isnt big enough to be needing separate sections.

If there is going to be a new forum, it should be for taking about gaming in general, not just other games.

General forum is ok IMO.

Yea we actually had a "Sports & Other games" forum a few months ago but it wasn't used enough so people suggested me to combine it with the general forum, and thats what happened! will keep an eye and if other game threads get too much will look into restoring the old layout.

at the end of the day its all about making the site organised and easy to view and sometimes too many forums might end up doing the opposite. ty for the feedback!

[Disadvantage]

Ah, cool. That sounds pretty reasonable Nirv. Sorry for creating a thread for that too, I was almost going to post it in this thread but thought why not create a new one!

[TAriiChard]

Hi Nirvana!


Always wanted to suggest this. What about a an "all" tab so that we can expand all the pages on a thread to the 1 page.

TAavanar:

i like this idea!

[SkyBreaker]

Completely non-essential improvement; but any chance for some code to be added to the reply box that would allow CTRL+Enter to post the reply? It's used on a few other forums and I it

Couple of thoughts on the layout. I haven't been frequenting this site for a short while. Having come back, I find the front page does look a little cluttered all of a sudden. Took me a short while to find out where the sign up thread for today's CO was. The right side of the main page does look quite cluttered with two columns there, though I'm not sure how you can organise the layout to make it look more neat. Perhaps to cut down the number of words on the main page except for the main news box?

Suggestion:

Have a 'Do You Know' box somewhere at top right or some unobtrusive corner which is basically a random generator of a database of 192837 SC2 facts / tips / tricks.

Could also include a link to (and pull facts/etc from) the Share the Knowledge thread.

My suggestions
1. The starcraft units as avatars needs to go. Maybe just have it as a small icon next to their name or something. (Too big atm)
2. Fix the site for smaller screens, there are columns on the right not alligned with the site and just goes off on its own and everything ><

[Meatex]

i view the site on a 1024x768 res and its okay
even sometimes use my android phone without problem
Might be your browser Aean ^^;

What browser and resolution are you running? It's fine on 27" @1920x1080 on my end, just as a reference point.

Im on the same resolution (i dont have problem on 1920x1080), but on my old monitor 1280x1024 and ipod the right column is so much on the right and you gotta scroll there

[ke_ivan]

I have the same problem as Aean(: on my 14" Mac at work. The chatbox keeps on resizing till its happy. . I'm not sure if it's a screen resolution thing or a browser thing.

TGM has been going great and apart from helping cover all the site hosting costs it has also allowed me to reinvest into some artwork (banners / new logo) and custom coding for the site.

The first of this custom coding is the events calender. You will now be able to access the thread info, sign up link and stream easily from the calender.

Next in line will be the tournaments section where the players bnet handle will be displayed instead next to their sc2sea name.

I also intend to add some custom coding to for clans to make it easy to add / edit clan details.

	ToRDeathsFang:	<3 everything your doing for SC2SEA

	SkyBreaker:	You're far too handsome. If you weren't married I'd try to wine & dine you :]

Just wanna say that the ability to remove parts of the site on the side is an awesome addition and makes viewing the forums alot cleaner.

But the wayout of the posts bugs me. I enjoy what TL.net has, a blank space between each, as asposed to the no spacing that this forum has.

Haven't done a site update in awhile so heres sc2sea 2.1 patch changes!

older stuff:

• clan page hosting for active clans which solves the problem of having them create and maintain them own page (and the little traffic independent clan sites get). we do not discriminate against skill / league, we only discriminate against activeness, if your clan is active on SC2SEA and does not have a bad reputation you WILL be hosted so get your clan active!
• news display has been reworked and is now neater and no need for spoilers, just use the + and - at the top right of the boxes. news icons have been added to differentiate between the categories of news (ty benji for the suggestion)
• new chatbox implemented which has many new functionality like PM in chat, private chat rooms and achievements/forum notifications been posted in chat. Big thanks to paperclip who helped make it so nice and pretty and who also fixed the reputation display bug some people were facing.
• Players can now request for name changes by posting in the name change thread. simple changes to name (clan tags) are for everyone. Major name changes require at least 50 posts or less than 2 posts.

newer stuff:

• In an effort to stop the "rep abuse" members blatantly abusing will be now permanently unable to use it. (1 user banned so far). If you dont wanna be banned simply dont abuse it, doesn't mean just because it can be abuse , it should be abused. Thats the wrong approach to have! This just means abusers are unable to vote. They still ahve reputaiton and you still can + / - their posts.
• Reputation display system has been reworked to make it harder to get medals/pips below your name. each pip requires 100 reputation points. 3 pips = 1 medal/star so 300 points = 1 medal (nerfed from 25 points pip 125 points medal)
• Reputation altering power has been adjusted to make it less inflated.

  • registered member for 180 days = +1 to rep power
  • every 400 posts you make = +1 (nerfed from 100 posts)
  • every 200 reputation points you have = +1 (nerfed from 100 points)

• Eddie suggested to list your streams now you need 30 posts and i agree (nerfed from 20 posts)
• A VOD Thread will be made soon for all casters who produce SEA vods.

Coming shortly

• Big announcement - integration with a popular web game
• sc2sea tees added properly to the sc2sea shop
• Brand new replay system (Go dox!)

"Soonish"

• Our very own SEA tournament database with results fed in from our tourney brackets + ability for manual entry. want to make the site more tournament focused with a leader board for various levels which should encourage more participation (ty edge for the idea)
• D3 database system to provide a one stop place for D3 players here.

Ah, I was wondering where my silver star went.
