Yes, that can be used. Its fine.

The problem I have, which is pure subjective, is that many things at the Org are pretty hard to find. There are tons of extras everywhere, endless forums, treads, but a very low good structure. For me, its too much, I admit, that I didnt saw that there is an IRC chat at all. I also doubt, that many use it.


I have a clear Idea about how something has to look, but again, subjective.


Working on a system, which has base "problems" will always end in some halfway solutions and on the other hand, Im sure, most people like it as it is right now.
From a PR-POV the whole "Org-system" looks dusty and old. The main page is probably not used by many, most people will surely get to the forum directly.
Thats something you can check quick, by looking at the stats.

This is a tactical direction, basic ideas about how something has to work. I run tons of sides, based on CMS system and a handful sites handmade. I halfway (I got programmer for that) have an idea how CMS work and what you can do with it. Thatswhy i suggested the Youtube-vid CMS side.

Fact is, from my business oriented POV, this side needs a heavy remake. If I had to "sell" it, I would make it completely new and implement the forum at some point.
Just a lot less fractured, with less treads/forums. But of course, thats actual in your hands. Im just sharing my ideas and offer my help.

Same goes with Google and some ceo, the placement is bad, while you got the Clans and dont use the power, TWC got probably less Clans, but seems to use it!
Its all about the definition, what you want to get this place too.
In german I say to these kind of places "Sammelsurium", its a collection of many things which are not used at all or just halfway.

I miss the fiction, the big idea behind it, apart from being a side about a certain matter.
It needs a think-tank, a group or a person who has the big ideas.

Why there isnt a tourney yet?
Where are the tools?
What are the plans?

I see tons of admins here, some I know, some not (which isnt a problem at all). I see tons of treads and posts, but look at the amount and where people post the most!
Fact is, that the current TW game has very low numbers of posts and treads, almost no real input at all. Go there and read it.
I see complaining, but very low content, people rather speak about how bad the game is, than sharing ideas about tactics.

I have the deepest respect for Duck, but I dont see him bringing MP-content or real input here. Now that might be my wrong idea about what an admin has to do.


My point is, you have a lot more posts in other section (which has nothing to do with current TW game), than in the S2-sections.
Its clear and shows the problem, look at com or TWC, there is the life, there are people who play the game, the action, the traffic, the questions....

This place was Nr.1 at the times, as it was all about the game! Now its far away from the old days, since its not about the game anymore (not in the same amount).
Most player are not here, you dont do interviews with player, you dont prepared the vid-section, you dont got X-fire ready.

You dont have moderators who go online and stream stuff or make videos. I want to see the action, but you cant deliver!
With tons of moderators here, there should be 7 guys, where each of them record a "top-ranked" game per day and make it shown here.
BUMP!

The top players, play 1v1 or 2v2 or 3v3 and you bring that each day. Holy Moly! Thats something people want to see, how the top guys battle each other.

Same goes for the tourneys, where on earth is the Org Tourney?
Why we dont hear about it? Is there something in work already?
Whats so hard to organize that? Its not too hard and it wont take you 4 weeks (since release) to get the first tourney going.

Tosa´s dead brought up many problems, Im aware of it. Still, its about time, that you guys get content done here. Working on structures is one thing and important, no doubt.
To get the move and actual start important new things, is another story.

I love this place, dont get me wrong, I like all those helpful guys here.
Its just that you got the power to get things done and I cant see it. My heart is bleeding, if I see this slow endless needing business here.
