Title: Main website....
Post by: KaZudra on August 16, 2013, 02:04:49 PM
Has anyone Noticed that the main site hasn't been updated since June 1, 2012, and before that there was a mass slowdown...

I once contributed to the news giving out a screenshot of DoS/SoTN compairson under some username long ago. Point is that we can use the Main Site to give updates and such on Games, Albums, and more...

but I do ask the important question.... why such neglect on the Main Site?

Also I noticed there is no reviews for recent games such as Lord of Shadows and Mirror of Fate on the website. I think it would be cool to contribute reviews unless that is domain of Webmaster.

I would like to help the dungeon's main site myself, however I know absolutely nothing when it comes to websites and I know nothing about programming which is necessary for putting together and maintaining a website.

i'm sure you could always offer to write content even if you don't know html. if the webmaster would be down for that, then you would draft out your article so that he would only have to do minimal work to turn it into a working update

I've actually written much content for the games but Jorge has been having troubles updating the main website. It's kind of tricky

The correct thread already exists for a long time, I dont have something cool to send so I cant help for now.

You can post in this thread, even if its old, its staked on the top of the Fan Stuff section.

You can actually submit an article for the Dungeon to Jorge, and he will put it on the site for you.

I like the idea of members here all contributing to the site. That way, everyone would be motivated. Maybe we can assign members to a specific section of the site? That way they can write about what they like and what they are knowledgeable about.

I would gladly contribute with anything. If they asked me to choose, that would be a review for The Adventure Rebirth. It could be for any of MS games, though, or maybe Judgment or Harmony of Despair, if they aren“t still there.

But I'd prefer The Adventure Rebirth. Please, can I do it? Please, please!  :P
I will gladly replay it in order to write the information.

I would totally contribute for the MS games especially Lord of Shadows. I have beaten it I don't know how many times and could analyze it and do a proper review and overview.

Post by: Pfil on August 16, 2013, 05:29:12 PM
Then let me do The Adventure Rebirth.

How can I do it? I mean, where do I post the text?

I could write an article about Akuma no Chi. I could provide some background info, a summary of what I know so far, and I can show the artwork which I scanned. I'll make sure to make it a high quality article.  :)

ah sweet, looks like we're charging the defibrillator to the old site (whilst the forums are fairly active)

Thanks Nagumo, you can write something about AU games too? I know that you have a special love for them so maybe you could describe them in a way that no one else can :)

The site could use a serious overhaul and conversion to some kind of content management system that would make adding content and managing everything about 90 times easier. If that were to happen, someone could add content without needing to know any HTML.
As it is now, as websites go, it's kind of stuck in the stone age from a technical standpoint.

The overhaul would be a big job, but I think it would certainly be worth doing.

I just want Super Waffle to write everything there is to know about the Pachislot games and then some.

And also contribute his CV hentai to the relevant section (you know he has to have some.)

Post by: beingthehero on August 16, 2013, 07:55:44 PM
But yeah, I've already had stuff in for OoE, Adventure Rebirth, and Curse of Darkness. Besides navigating the maze of updating the website, there was also a need for screen grabs to go along with the info for what I've written for those games, if anybody would like to help with that.

Post by: Lelygax on August 16, 2013, 08:08:56 PM
Tell what type of screens you need, with area, enemies on it, things like that. Maybe I can help with OoE and Rebirth.

If someone knows how to work with it, Joomla or Wordpress can be a good idea for making a new site, otherwise someone with CSS and Java coding knowledge will be needed,

Let me know if they do one, so I will work in this section too.
