The site needs an update

ZeroPointNRG · October 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">All the information is outdated</div>I don't want to sound annoying but:

All the information on the site is outdated, including screenshots of the game, maps and weapons. The old machinegun model is still on the site. Now the game is about to be released I think it is wise to update. That way, newcomers to the game will see up to date information and they will not get a false impression of NS.

Just my €0,02

<b>Can a moderator lock this post? I made my point and there's really no room for debate as it only heats up things.</b>

Ehm, maybe you didnt notice the RECENT NEWS PAGE UPDATE, along with the RC 9 CHANGELOG and the new TALES FROM THE FRONTLINES STORIES. Besides, they're too busy MAKING THE GAME to update screenies. Jeez.

Updating the site shouldn't take all that long. All the new screenshots have been made and posted at the forums, but not at the site. Some people don't want to register at a message board.

Meh....the game is coming out in a matter of weeks. Then while our brains are being decayed after 52 hours straight staring into a computer monitor playin NS, THEN they can update the site to their heart's content.

/me slaps ZeroPointNRG with MonsE quote

"Finally, there will be plenty of things coming soon. New info, new screenshots, new features, revamped NS.org design, revamped RR.org information, a trailer, interviews, previews, and tons of other PR. This mod is the real deal, and it won't be long before you can find out for yourself."

He was talking about the MAIN SITE and not the FORUMS, mostly the SCREEN SHOT SECTIONS and not the NEWS PAGES, because alot of people will head straight there, and since it is OLD, he thought they should be UPDATED. I would agree to that, if they had someone to do the updating that didn't need to be doing other stuff.

When the manual comes out that should all change i think. As in the site will be updated with the manual.

I think i speak for almost everyone here when i say
"I would rather have the mod released than some screen shots."

Yes. But he was talking about NEWCOMERS to NS. Not us. I agree they should be updated... but Monse has already said it was going to happen. This thread should be at an end, I would think.

Battousaix · October 2002

Umm, actually the screenshot section is a part of the pr blitz....... The screenshots will be updated for the release to get us even more excited about ns.......

JediYoshi · October 2002

Alot of "us" are still "new" to NS to be quiet frank.

How many newbies checking out a link from Planet Half-Life or a friend's reccommendation stay to look in the forums on their first visit? First impressions mean a lot.

I know that the site may be updated, I just think it should be updated just before the PR blitz.

Who handles the website work on the team, anyways? MonsE does Readyroom, might he do NS.org too?

I agree also. I mean pretend you know nothing about NS other that it's a mod with guns. Then go to the main website and look at all the information/screenshots without visting the forums. What you got is a newcomer who's seeing the mod from over a year ago. Damn you can't even figue out what kind of weapons/abilities/tech, or what an Onos is or a B.o.b/skulk. You'll know nothing of phase gates/Heavy armor, HMG, commander mode. I really doubt someone would take a good second look at the mod if they don't come across the forums.

ZeroPointNRG: They do the entire site in pure HTML. Yes, we all know they are old, lazy, gits and refuse to get submittal templates. They will be forgiven when NS releases.

I'm sure there is <i>someone</i> here who would love to be webmaster...
