Ok now that I have all that done, I can talk to you alittle about this site.

TacticsFan.com was founded by Jeffery as a fan site, of tactics... But because of his busy life and lack of interest he dropped the project. Now We are trying to bring it back! And make it a site for the gamers, by the gamers!

So how about helping us out?

(Also, just a request, that does not need to be filled, but I would greatly appreciate if a mod could sticky this thread to help get this site off of the ground!)

(PS: If you would like to join this team, please Pm me, or Jeffery, or post here, or on the TacticsFan.com Forums; http://www.tacticsfan.com/forum/ )

I'll apply for content. I'm a pretty good writer, and I enjoy writing articles and things like that.

Buster
09-14-2006, 07:55 PM
Your application is pending:

Content: You must be able to write, and show 3 pieces of work.

Get those 3 pieces of work in and it should all be good, And just as an FYI, these "pieces of work", only need to be a paragraph each.

I would be happy to provide content for this site as well, (writing articles/reviews). But how many people are needed for that position? Also fill me in with a little more info. Such as what we will generally be writing about, and how often.

edit: posted while Buster replied already, sorry I was slow

Buster
09-14-2006, 08:04 PM
Never Fear Buster is still here!

Content: 3

But we all so need a "editor", whos job would be like the editor of a newspaper, they deside what is needed, and what should and should not go in.

As for what you would be writing about; you will be writing about the game: Units, strategies, and all the other great stuff that a site needs!

:) I have registered. I am taking a class in school called Certified Internet Webmaster(CIW). In it, I am learning all forms of coding(JScript, JavasScript, VBScript, and C++ amung others.) Once this class is over at the end of the schoolyear, I will have my license as a webmaster. After that, I feel like I could help you even more.

Yep, it has been, but Jeffery has giving that site to this project, and we hope to make it a true site for tha gamers!

I'm too lazy to keep it current though, so I have offered it to be used for this project.

See to me this just seems like a spam thread. You took a thread, didn't like how it was going, so made a new one... Why didn't you just edit the first post of the old thread and move on? :huh:

I'm very confused - and you still didn't answer my last post in that thread either. Come to think of it, I don't think you answered ANY questions in the last thread. What can people bring to that site which isn't already here besides, perhaps, layout changes? The only answer I saw involved something with forums which... seem to be similar to, well, this.

Buster just wants to control TAO members.

09-15-2006, 04:18 PM
I did answer you but I didnt not answer your last one, just saw it XD.

Ok to your first question: "Why did you make a new thread"

The last thread was full of spam! I mean really people how hard is it to stay on topic? :dry: Also, the Project has grown seens that thread and we are no longer looking for just a group, and hope to get off of the ground, we now have a hoster, thanks to Jeffery, and a domain.(Still thanks to Jeffery) And people just didnt seem to get that.... So now with a title like "TacticsFan.com" I think it will get more people to think of this as a true project, which it is.

For your second question: "What is the point of this site?"

Well you need a open mind,....(Which you dont seem to have on this topic).., But the point is to give the fans a site they can turn to.

The site would be a better helper for the new comers to the game, showing such things like "how to's" and "what nots".

Also this would allow the users to fell like there helping the community in there own why! :cool:

uniquinous
09-15-2006, 04:32 PM
yeah but this is my point - you keep saying things like "to give the fans a site they can turn to", which sounds nice, but is rather abstract and vague. Do you wish to consolidate how-to's and strategies? If so, will there just be a forum full of stickies with these things?

I have an open mind, but you're not putting anything in it. I guess what I'm looking for is something a bit less abstract and more static.

Buster
09-15-2006, 04:45 PM
But the best things in life are abstract, and until the site has started.... that how things will be, you need an open mind when going it to a project after all.

And no, the main point of the site is not the forums.

Within the forums there will be a "Suggest a Strategy" Where you can enter Strategys, and there will be a "Strategy" forum, with strategy for beginners, intermediate, expert.

As for what will the site have... Top secret.

Uniq, that is something that whoever makes up the staff is and will be discussing. The idea here it to put together people who are interested in doing this, then listening TO them about what they want to see in the site as well.

The idea here is NOT to say "This site must be X + Z = 42". It is to get people involved in the discussion about, and creation of, the site.

You can ask for and even demand all the specifics you want. But the answer at this point is "?".

09-15-2006, 07:22 PM
Besides, Uni, the point of this thread and project really is to get the site up and running so it is more for the users of TAO and other tactics games. When the project is said and done, whenever that is, your questions will all be answered. And if in fact you still have questions, then we wil be more ready to anser them.
