TW Centre has had a re-vamp - The Org needs one too

[caravel]

TW Centre has revamped (to my dismay).

Why to your "dismay". If they want to revamp it, let them get on with it. They're not exactly a "competitor" as such anyway.

The Org needs to follow with another re-vamp and soon. TW Centre is the larger community and why - because it has a flashy web-site, a flashy forum (now anyway) and is in date. It is awful. My least favorite site on the net is starting to compete with my favorite.

I disagree. The .org does not need to chase around after another website trying to compete with it. This is not a game of "keeping up with the jones'" and this is not a forum for the under 10s.

The Org needs to join in and soon before it loses it's community to that unfriendly place.

It's a forum it's going to be unfriendly. The .com is unfriendly as well, but who cares. I don't post at either so they don't interest me. We're not going to lose our community to them, we'll simply offload all of the appalling little spammers and trolls that we don't want here anyway. If they go there for the "eye candy" and to mix with their peers, all the better for us over here. The .org is different to other forums because it's much more hospitable place.

The Org desperately need:

• A new M2TW forum skin instead of us being forced to use "The Guild" to show our appreciation of M2TW.
• A new official web-site revamp (seen as nobody seems interested in my unofficial one)
• The promotion of mods to bring more hosted mods in.
• The re-vamp of the whole forum with more organization, more news and a new newsletter.
• The restyling of the post icons: The ones we have now look out-dated.

There's one I do agree with. Let's sort out the modding forums and give the modders as much help as we can give them. Also it should be better organised and easier to find what you're looking for in there.

The Org needs to compete with the other TW sites on the net. And soon should it want to survive into 2007.

The .org will survive into 2007 and beyond that. If you're worried about the quiet spell don't be. Take a trip over to .com that's hardly buzzing either. A lot of members are busy playing M2TW, so that's why they're not on here posting about lances being held 2 degrees off, or <Unit Name> being a fantasy unit. Give it a few weeks and they'll be back.

Yes, a website revamp would be a good thing, but not for the reasons you've stated. It has to be revamped for a purpose not simply to outdo someone else's site.
