_Ray Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 hmm. i geuss you're right but i still think a few colors could be a help and headlines that standout i always go to the homepage first anyway so I can check my mod downloads.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSanityHD Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 excuse my language but im being seriousthe reason i dont visit the homepage is because its FUCKING boring im not being a jerk just a person not afraid to tell you whats wrong, try embedding a flash game near the bottom of the page, you can find a few embeddable games at www.freeonlinegames.com also make links bigger brighter and stand out more, like neon green or orange, also try to make exciting headlines for the news, hell let me take a crack at pitching you a few lines if you want me to..... "They see me trollin'......" Either that or you're ridiculously stupid. Any website that needs to entice you with a flash game in order to get you to visit is a shitty website. And FUCK, bright neon colors? What are you, 5? You need bright colors to grab your attention? And LOL at the way you speak to Chris as if he's a 12 year old who's never made a website before. Dude, I assure you, if he wanted to embed a game on the site, he could do it without ever visiting another website. I have to agree with Spaz on that one. Why would the website of TGTAP need "neon" sort of fonts to make the text stand out more? That'd be a little stupid, now wouldn't it? And flash games? Wtf. This is a GTA, yes....a GTA (Grand Theft Auto) fan site. Why would a GTA fan site want stupid flash games on it from stupid sites? As Spaz said, if Chris wanted some flash games on his site I pretty much think he'd make his own. He's not stupid you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 POTD is pretty popular isn't it? then click on the 'join the forums' image link Yeah I keep meaning to change that so it shows relevant forum links if you're already logged in. I'll do that when I get back from NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I LOVE the homepage's layout and design, it's sexy. But news is slow these days and TLAD doesn't really apply to me because I don't have a 360. However, when news for GTAIV's release was coming out I always went to the homepage first.

Chris Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 For anyone who's interested, I have made a change on the homepage so that if you're logged in, the "Join the Forums" image will be faded out and instead you'll see your avatar along with relevant forum links such as to the main forum page, my controls, your profile page, new posts, and your pm's.

Mike356 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 because Chris said so and it would lead to flaming and you sir would be getting flamed a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) because Chris said so and it would lead to flaming and you sir would be getting flamed a lot Cool, that would be fun. Solution: Ban those who flame. All done. Edited February 8, 2009 by raybob95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike356 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 yeah an admin would have to sit on their ass all day and watch it 24/7 since shout boxes don't give chat logs and thats why we got the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) yeah an admin would have to sit on their ass all day Don't we have like 20 mods? And simple, just don't flame, and just trust people to report it. Or, create a chat logger. Edited February 8, 2009 by raybob95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 lol rappo We're not having a shoutbox simply because no respectable website would ever have one, the ONLY thing that gets posted in them is spam. If you want to talk about stuff, use the forums, forums are for discussions. I realise you guys aren't webmasters but seriously you need to learn about why sites don't have this sort of novelty shit on them. We're a professional and respected fansite, if you genuinely believe shoutboxes are useful and an important feature then I'm afraid you'll need to leave here and visit one of the fansites that is very small and isn't acknowledged by R* etc. Simple as that.

I-Am-Sofa-King-We-Todd-Ed. Shout boxes are for kid sites Chris. Mostly your right everything on there ends up as spam. The most likely place to get banned for starting a flaim war.

rappo Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 the forced cursor: pointer thing confuses me maybe have it be a different CSS element if you're actually logged in? one that doesn't say "join the forums" in the BG and doesnt have a forced pointer?
