As you know i am not happy about the way this community does manage itself. Most ppl think that they can have everything they wish without doing something. Maybe it does work this way in other communities but as we all know such communities wont last for long.
I assume you all want to stay here in SWAT and stay together in future even when other games than FL are played. This can only work if you help to keep SWAT successful... everybody needs to do something especially since i wont be able to stay admin forever. When im gone you will have to run this place and its better if you start to do your part now.
What im going to do now (since my "statement" thread has not lead to fundamental changes) is to give out tasks to you. I want that these jobs are done and i want that these tasks are done be not only those which did that stuff in the past.
Ppl like CA have really enough to do meanwhile and you others are doing nothing.
You know me good enough that i dont accept excuses. If someone takes over a job then i expect that this job is done and finished. If this is not the case i will search for someone else to do it.
I already did say that i wont work on CF or other mods until this community does its job. So in the end it is your decision if you get a new and better CF, a full server and new members for your clans.
You can decide to do something or you can let everything go down the drain.
So what needs to be done?
- as the review and the faq are already in production as it was reported there is not much more to mention about it
- i have updated the SWAT mainpage and it really bothers me that for some games we are not able to have detailed information
it would be cool to have more info for EVE Online on our main site
more about infinity
jumpgate evo + jumpgate
Nexus
Tarr Chronicles
Wingcommander (all games)
X (all games)
The info we have about those games is pretty poor and that has to change... infos about systems, missions, ships, walkthroughs + everything else is needed.
If you think "oh i cant create websites... dunno how this works" then i can only say that if you know how to work with word then you also will be able to create a website. All i need is a word document... you can design the stuff like you want... even with pics. So dont even think about such an excuse.
- News
we cover more than 14 games... its hard to believe that there are no news about these games or related mods. I actually would expect to have daily news at SWAT and i know for sure that there is enough material out there to make this possible... ive searched for a big bunch of sites which cover games that we have in SWAT, including the developer sites and i noticed that there are tons of news. I also noticed that the moderators didnt use the chance to post some news and am very disappointed that i wasted my time searching these sources and websites while the result is 0 posted news at SWAT.
This has to change and if someone of you thinks to be able to search or write some news then help us. Like i said - I want to see daily news at SWAT and that is for sure possible.
- Moderation...
A sad topic... except a few moderators the activity dropped and the portal suffers from that... this needs to change or i will have to kick out those moderators and search for new ones
but for sure we need more moderators here at SWAT... there is much to do... and for sure i cant do all the work alone.
We need both... forum moderators and site moderators... site moderators will be able to post news and manage galleries and downloads.
- Gallery updates
14 games and some game galleries dont contain many screenshots and wallpapers... that has to change now.... you can see yourself which games are supported in a good way and which still need new stuff
here much work has to be done (this requires to be site moderator)
- Downloads
on the SWAT server there are about 1200 freelancer files and some files for other games
these need to be added to the SWAT download database... (this requires to be site moderator)
like already said... they are already on the server and only need to be moved to the correct directory and then added to the database (with info and version number)
this belongs to the things that have highest priority atm
- i expect that the events are sorted out
i want the neccessary information in order to update the CF site
i want to know who is running the events and i want that these events are running on a regular basis
- ASF/CSF
I want an official statement about ASF and CSF
the rules
the way everything does run
that stuff will be put on the CF site
I also like to get a shedule when these events are running and announcements in other communities and via newsletter prior this event does start
- what is with the SWAT intro movie?
is there finally a version that i can use?
- what is with the CF logo?
there was a contest somewhen with no real results... im looking for high quality logos
- path generator for FL
this is just a question not a request... is it possible?
- mod database
its almost empty atm
I want it to be updated and filled with information about mods
if someone is interested doing this job then im willing to give out the neccessary rights and accesses
- the CF1.8 gallery needs to be updated
well i guess thats it for now
i will start working on CF again when the above stuff is done
so its up to you if or when you get the new CF1.8
This is the last time i will ask for help... if you are not willing to do something for this community then i will refuse to do anything for you. So simple is that.
