the FAF main page really REALLY needs an update.

[tatsu]

It's just not modern or sexy enough. it's not selling FAF properly at all.

And the content is the worst part. The words aren't really top nor very pro-sounding and the videos are really far from the best clips we have. well they're quite good tbh, but I think it would do alot of good to throw a load of better, more sexy videos in there if not to replace them entirely.

And also to use the goddamn youtube embedding since youtube have the best playback software and servers in the world. Also the aspect ratio on these videos are from the 1990's making them look really dated.

I mean any wauweli video will do ffs.
i like these in particular :

this grim tuesday video is perfect IMO, it quickly explains the situation and is also pretty attractive to noobs in what it shows.

I think this poetic piece by TA4life is of exceptional quality and really sells the game.

and why not gyle's best to seal the deal and show of the strategical depth that goes on over here as well as the high MP activity :

and stuff like this is vital :

and the landing page should have the download right there not off to the side like it is and that button's appearance is dated anyhow.

As for the text I defer to your suggestions.

I bet if you made a new front page on a dummy server and showed it to v he might be willing to copy your code.

More than if you just ask someone else to do all the work for you.

wow yeah

do you mean -_V_- or Vee because that changes the possibility of my code having the slightest chance.

Think the videos "themselves" on the "main page" "initially" are alright..

Some of the music might, "Uha/Uh-n-a to "say", but still "say" good.

"Seems" to be in "lack" in a "homepage" button and those have been say "popular" since 80s-90s anyways, even though more then not in "modern" has still "changed" (Picture[more of, anyways] button/link, instead of "text" button/link).
Links to say in "Icons/Labels/"Titles-/Words" still "nefty/nifty" though.

"Tabs-Buttons" for say "Multi-Page", whatever it "used" to be called, seems "fine".

Style still "seems" fine.
-Search, Server Stats, FA Top Players, "FA Download", Live Stream, and maybe Donations might need to change in terms of just "rearrange" but left to that only, I don't know..Seems like maybe some improve in: Search, Server Stats, FA Top Players, and Donations, but still probably not in "Donation" as much then just rearrange. Seems like the "sentence/paragraph" got cut of in use of "Donation" "Setup" for how it looks as a "sentence/paragraph" when still not. Adding "additional" "means" may "adjust" "more" of "more" for "more" on "more" still "of?" more??, "additional" speaking though of course on the "cutoff" "sentence/paragraph" "thingy".
"Looks" are "Looks" to say though..

Facebook,Twitter, etc.. and "Services" ( Or services included of Facebook, Twitter, etc..) seems could be "rearranged" maybe somehow. But I get that out of "Services" alot though.. It might be "Biased" here to change for how it may "seem" or "look" for "where" it is "at".

Other then that, I don't know. Seems more "specific" and/or "detailed" in regards to "Update" on "Main Page". I'll try to "look" more later or "something".

Thx.. (Which i'll try not to say all the time, but still..first "posts" don't think had really done "that" though, if "basically" at "all", "didn't" though of course,, for at "all" "basically" anyways..sorry.)
Thx

That's.. That's not what quotation marks are for.

[pza]

That's.. That's not what quotation marks are for.

That's what quotation marks are for. For quotes.




ontopic: tbh, i watched all the videos now (including the one on the page) for the first time, but i sincerly prefer the one that is already on the front page. The others ARE nice, but for a first glance at wtf is supreme commander, the implemented one is just almost perfect.
No idea about the design of the page itself, maybe there's room for improvement, but tbh i didn't take into consideration how much i like the website, when i installed faf.

I tried, I really did but I just cannot take it anymore. I will skip any comment by =M.V.K.= . Never have I seen such a quotation mark abuse. Gives me cancer everytime I try to read it.
Reminds me of a story a Hollywood screen writer once told me: He had handed in a (as he himself admitted) "very bad script". The producer who had read the script asked the writer in. When the writer went to the meeting the producer looked at the script in front of him, then looked at the writer and asked him: "Why didn't you simply write F*CK YOU on every single page?"

In reply to : Blaskster

That and I can't indent on paragraphs, Tab button won't work in the reply box, it works on my computer and uh...comment section still but for the forum reply boxes seems not to work.. There's other things at times that don't seem to work, was going to make a thread, but still probably need to do that. Should of mentioned this earlier..sorry..

Don't think the forum even allows say the use of some "language" at a time..Rather through design, concept, and/or construction, but hey...Somethings can maybe be found still for said without say..believe it or not..

And this post wasn't that long, and I don't think I got out the "point" to much if at all, "FA Forever Download??", why not just "FAF Download??" Why I quoted that one...Which if still not mistaken technically is within use of say "primary" purpose is even slightly derivative , but not straightly..mean literal worth is the question , right??
Mean FA Forever Download has maybe been there from least say 5 seconds from when the site or client was released/published since then people still call Forged Alliance Forever , FA Forever??

Mean, if this is why I should say other words for place of use, I don't see it as my fault, least maybe yet anyways, I search YouTube using FAF cause anything else doesn't come up much for much of anything and the search thing isn't say abroad for results..Who knows why that is.

Otherwise for other words on the promotive that's fine I guess but probably still best without and regards still least rather for most as to say is otherwise said for words to use..sorry.. (I know I should say apologize rather alone or say for ahead of time, but its not the 90s anymore, and don't think it should either least to say also at times.)

And what to do with every page?? (Least) within posting/replying??
