About Malfadors Web Site

Atrocities · #1 June 19th, 2002, 04:52 PM

Richard, you have got to talk to Aaron about updating his site. I mean I know he is busy and all, and I respect that, but ever time I get people interested in this game, they ***** about the developers web site not being updated, so why should they buy a game that isn't being supported. I Get really mad about this, and tell them to come here. Never the less, the damage is done.

No offense, but Malfadors site is as important to the game as these forums. Malfador will be the first place people interested in the game will first go. They go there, and see that the Last news was something like 2 months ago, and that is a quick turn off.

Again, I know that Aaron is very busy, and all that, but he really should, IMHO, update the news once in a while to keep people who happen to go to his site, and that is very likely, updated and aware that they need to come here.

That is my 2 cents worth, and if I am wrong, then I will accept the firing squad.

I would recommend you telling them first about this site and not mentioning malfador.com if there is a concern. As the publisher we actually have the role of PR and keeping sites active, so really any of them are better served coming here first.

Hee hee.. where is the queue for joining the firing squad 'doing' Atrocities? do you have to bring your own gun?

Actually, I wonder if Richard and Atrocities are one and the same people, they have the same avatar

Oh believe me I do, but they always go to Malfador. Always

I try like hell to get people in the Trek comunities that I know into this game. They are often hard core games, and being as such, always visit the developers site. Hense my rant.

When I first visited Malfador site I followed the links to user sites. There was so little activity I thought this game community was dead. Only later did I try this site.

SO MAYBE A GOOD UPDATE POST TO MALFADOR AND USER SITES WOULD BE:
"CHECK OUT SHRAPNEL INTEL FORUMS FOR THE LATEST ACTIVITIES, NEWBIE GUIDES, and BANTER."

That brings up another question then.

Where are communities we can get into. I wouldn't mind going to their forums. I did a little at apolyton and some at moo3.com before, where are the star trek sites? I can point them in the right direction

Yes. I agree with Richard, but I also agree with Wardad. I don't care if Aaron spends a bunch of time updating his site, I would rather see him working on patches.

But he really should have someone clean out some of those links to dead sites. That gives a very bad impression of the community as a whole.

One thing I want to do is build the site of the week program back up to include a lot of them on our site.

I think, with a bit of TLC, that site could look real good and stay up-to-date. It's just finding someone to do that, when you get right down to it a weekly site update or so isn't much of a stretch for a real web designer.

I always feel guilty about my site because it's a struggle to find anything new to put on it. Then when there is something new I invariably have to bring everything else up to speed too and it just becomes an all-day job.
