Yeah go ahead and post it under Game design, considering the fact that it's not just a five minute test game.

Drule check your email. 

Also it would be nice if everyone could chill out about this until this work is finished.  The whole reason shit is getting done without consulting the community is because we've never been able to definitively DECIDE on anything whenever shit like this came up in the past.  It's good to see someone finally taking initiative.

We're not witnessing the end of GW ... We're witnessing the rebirth of GW. GW needs to start over in order to get stronger

There was a time when 40 different subforums made sense. Not anymore

There was a time when our staff could write compelling articles to compete with other sites. Not anymore

Reinvention is the only way we can fix this. And fix it, we will.

So here's what the new GW is going to be....

-- And that ends my horrible spoof on the GM Reinvention commercial as I have no clue what the new GW IS going to be.

Regardless, Drule seems to have a passion and drive to get things going and he seems to know what did not work in the past few years and he's doing his best to get GW going again.

So give your kudos to him, he deserves it.

How many radical new mainsites do you need until all passionate individuals are exhausted?

I don't think GW wants to be about game development anymore, so why try to force it? If Drule is taking the site out of the realm of game development, he deserves kudos. That isn't this userbase's interest anymore.


As far as the mainsite techically, it seems alright. Nothing amazing or shocking but seems to work. It's obvious where this is trying to go due to the various links.

yeah I don't normally agree with you on these things but this is in the right area. I might be wrong but I think this has been an underlying feeling for a little while without really being 'official' or whatever. this might well be the right direction, we'll just have to see.

whatever, good for you Drule to be doing something with GW :)

Will GWiki be up anytime soon? All this needs to be documented for the sake of GW history.

We need to follow each other around the forums now and work together to speak in opposites. It's a match made in heaven.

Every radical new mainsite has been under a different administration if I recall. To be honest I don't know but it'd be nice if this is the last time in a long while

I honestly can't remember the last important thing Mateui's ever done so I don't think you guys should be complaining about him not being admin anymore.

and yeah, way too much whining in this thread! we didn't need almost all of the forums that were purged
