No, Bart won't be paying for this server. Basic userdata is going to be ported over to the new site once SMF 3.0 is released, and GW will either be shut down or placed directly under http://www.gamingw.net/ as a forum without a mainsite, depending on what Bart wants.

i like the sound of what you have laid out here. kinda skimmed but, but it sounds like a good idea.

but astrojone is an awful name. i think LUMP UNDER ARMPIT would be a better name

overall I really only come to GW because it has cool people and I like reading what they have to say, what they think of things. I like reading the opinions of the members here, that's the big draw for me.

Names are hard.

If we can't think of a name that's good, that's what we should name the new site.

The times, they are a-changing.

It's nice to see something new happening and I'm totally down with the "issues" idea and you can be sure I'd write for it. I won't lie and say I'm totally alright with the idea of shutting GW down, but hey, let's wait and see.

This was really funny. I loled.

On topic: I think this is really great and I'm really excited to see what you [guys?] come up with. I'm hoping there will be more interest in the newer editors like Construct, and game design in general, while still retaining a sort of loose atmosphere. I guess I'd like to see something like a more casual and hilarious Gamasutra, with a focus on community and indie content. I have a lot of free time right now (job plz), so if this gets rolling I'd enjoy writing some articles every now and then.

One of the big draw-ins, and how I originally found GW many years ago (I think my original name was Altamore, then Polygon, then Farmrush idk I was 14), were the resources. Graphics, music, chipsets, etc, and while I feel there is some trend away from toolkits like RM2K and toward more advanced ones, there really needs to be a hook--a reason for people to even join in the first place. This site would obviously be building on the foundations of GW, which I think gives it a real leg-up, I hope it doesn't just topple over.

Does that make sense?

why not just call it GW and refuse to decipher the mystery letters. that's pretty much what people do anyway.

I actually like this proposed site direction. I think it takes the best parts of the two worlds of game development and community and meshes them together into one cohesive unit. An argument against going back to game development is that most of us don't really care for it anymore, and while that may be true, I'm of the opinion that if you build it, they will come. Remember when we had tons of new members coming in daily once before? The majority of these came with the hope of creating some sort of game, but eventually stayed around for the community once they got involved. I think that with this site up and running even those of us who have gotten over that game-making itch may be tempted to give it another go - there will be a platform to present any completed projects and with our increased maturity from our past (ok, most of us), I'm betting that we'll see a lot of great and inspiring games from some of the established names in GW.

My dream is that the next GW will have credit card based identification to force everybody use their real name.
