| An update, and an idea | ||
|
Ladies and Gentlemen, Firstly, I will tell you that there is an update to the gaming section in the form of two samples of Dynasty Warriors 5. Secondly, I will present you all with an idea. At my Girlfriend's suggestion, I'm thinking of bringing back the articles and reviews section, and adding a guides section to go along with it. However, this will not be done with the use of the same PHP script as was used before, as that was a huge target for some very unsavery spam bots. Instead, it will be done with the forums. People will be allowed to post articles, reviews, and guides in special categories on the boards that I will set up. Then, once they're posted, those people need to let me know by email that they have posted. I will look over each article and either create a description of my own which I will put both in the articles, reviews, or guides main page, and in the site news. The three above-mentioned pages would be separate from the forums, but would link directly to the post of the one who posted the article. That way, articles and reviews could be browsed through without having to go directly to the forums, though one would still have to go to the forums to submit an article of their own. Another advantage of doing it this way is that people could comment on the articles, reviews, and guides posted simply by replying to the topic. And, if a change was required, the original poster has freedom to edit their own post, and therefore updates could be applied where necessary. I think it's a great idea, but I want some opinions before I go ahead with it. Please email me at brandon@brandoncole.net with your opinion or suggestion. Additionally, I am going to request that anyone who hasn't already signed up with the boards and wishes to do so, perhaps for the purposes of posting an article or review, (though I hope one would post more than just that), I request that you also email me at brandon@brandoncole.net with the user name you chose. Unfortunately, the boards are a spam bot target as well, so I need to know which user names are real people. Once I know, I will activate your account, and you can post at will. Thanks. |
