oh yeah I forgot aboutthat

I missed the first article though but I remember the 2nd one.

people shouldn't even make websites any more apparently. everything is already covered. more great posting from dom.

you and a few others here who haven't verbally expressed it seem to think we can just go from NO SITE FOR 5 YEARS to GREAT SITE all of a sudden. you cannot do something like that without a transition period. i like how you actually take the time to post your thoughts on the site when me and panda already had discussions like this before the site was even made. do you think we never thought about the problems of the site before making it? we knew we had no staff. we knew very few community people would ever chip in. right now though, these are the circumstances. for you to even suggest the kind of content and site we have now is going to be the exact same down the line is completely ridiculous. i don't even know why you bother to post that given these facts. this is the GW starting from square one, and it'll take time before we get a site the community can be proud of. if we held strict quality standards right now, we would have only a handful of articles on the site and never any new content. this isn't feasible at all and makes no sense.

this topic was supposed to get the general interest from community members in regards to staff and article submission. once again it turns into a discussion about something unrelated instead of people actually deciding to do something about the problem. me and panda already pointed out there are more NON-GAME articles than GAME articles. the SHIFT of gaming world is going to be whatever the community decides. the only problem is that GW has no chance of living as a general site with the kind of userbase we have. additionally the common interest we all share is GAMES, even if some don't want to make them, and this is what we can do best (if ANYTHING).

i explained in my first post that because we slid down like this, we made it that much harder for ourselves now. we won't go places without effort. right now, there's only a handful of staff and panda who actually give more than an ounce of effort for the site. everything good takes effort to make. do you think that you can just throw it on a few guys and expect the site to succeed?

you can discuss whatever you want about the site direction or it's PROBLEMS but it's a waste of time. the only problem is effort, not any of the garbage you make up. just like in the 50 GW6 topics we had before the site, people seemed to enjoy talking a lot more than actually doing work themselves.

It's a simple statement.  If you contribute nothing, you're worthless.
