Org Promotion

[ghostofxmaspast]

Informative content, related to Total War, related to the community, made by the community... This is what we should aim for to promote on the Org.

This has been tried. I know the result, you know the result. Everyone who has been here at least 5 years should know the result.

Hate to sound negative, but you're going over the same tired old ground... you're talking about content, but there is no detail there as to where it's going to come from, who is going to produce it and what form it should take. No amount of positive thinking or over exuberance is going to change that.

One possible approach, which perhaps hasn't been considered, is to get rid of the .org's front page altogether and ensure that forums.totalwar.org goes straight to the board index. Then the clear focus will be on the forum it itself without the burden of anyone having to maintain the website. It also focuses on the site's main strength and will get people straight into the forum without 'extra clicks'.

News can take the form of a forum and members can post links, etc and write short articles. This is much more sustainable that the current format which requires someone having to devote time to update something which few probably bother to read. This also puts more into the hands of members and takes away from admins having to maintain it.
