Update for all you Impatient Ivans. [IMG_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_4th_html.jpg[/IMG_thumb]
[QUOTE=Galago;22990801][b]Impatient[/b] [/QUOTE] [img]http://scienceblogs.com/geneticfuture/the_1000_genomes_project_is_ho/impatience.jpg[/img] yes, yes I am impatient...
Here's a question Where are you going to be hosting the mods? Letting the authors take care of it or are you going to have a dedicated downloads server? This could be a main factor that could make or break this project. Personally, I'd save myself some dollar and host the files on something like MediaFire.
perhaps, filesmelt?

We'd like suggestions from you Silent Sammys... not design wise, but anything to help make the website's functionality acceptable.
Just the basics. File upload, file download (with preview images). A little moderator panel so you can say whether something is acceptable or not. Ratings, comments... it can all come later.

[QUOTE=Galago;22992899]How about we get what you said down and then release a closed beta to Emporium members?[/QUOTE] YES. Do that, please. I'd like to see how it works with a small group of yaknow, humans, and not the FPSB monsters they let roam the streets.
For beta release: Rate [B]agree [/B]to open the website to Emporium members only. Rate [B]disagree [/B]to open the website to all Facepunch members. Rate [B]funny [/B]to open the website to everyone. Rate [B]informative [/B]to open the website to members of a newly-created group solely for this purpose.
Emporium members wouldn't be a lot of people. Especially since 1 or 2 are kinda inactive in the emporium lately. [editline]02:35AM[/editline] I say open it to specifically chosen people, so I rated informative.
Use the emporium promo images as your download links, like garrysmod.org but with a pic and a description [editline]09:53PM[/editline] Maybe a new promo image to match the sleek angles of the new site's style
Okay, here's the Steam group. If you're in the group when the beta opens, you'll get an invite. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tf2emporium-website[/url]
Am I still going to be a mod? :buddy:
[QUOTE=Shugo;22996413]Am I still going to be a mod? :buddy:[/QUOTE] Sure! :buddy:

[QUOTE=Galago;22959961][IMG_thumb]http://moxdev.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/005_professor.png[/IMG_thumb] Good news everyone! The TF2 Emporium has inspired a website, which is now being developed! Wait... haven't you heard this before? Yes, that's right, my old project is dead. But do not fret, because we are starting anew! StinkyJoe and myself plan to design another TF2 Emporium website. Here is a developmental timeline of the website: [IMG_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_1stconcept.jpg[/IMG_thumb] > [IMG_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_2ndconcept.jpg[/IMG_thumb] > (html) [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_3rd_html.jpg[/img_thumb] > [IMG_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2319552/emporium_4th_html.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Here's a list of all features we plan to include: [LIST] [*]Scrolling header image featuring TF2 news, community "things", and a mod of the week [*]Front page spotlight featuring top-rated mods of the week [*]A sortable gallery of mods (by rating, date added, downloads, and comments) [*]User profile page [*]A forum, including a spot for WIP project threads [/LIST][/QUOTE] You asshole I read it in his voice.

[QUOTE=EDDY TT;23002161]What about me? :ohdear: I'll give you this puppy.[/QUOTE] what puppy? all i see is a fox that likes apples :v:

Still suggest adding mirror support if you've just decided to scrap it because of that move. [QUOTE=NotUrAvgAzn;23002981]what puppy? all i see is a fox that likes apples :v:[/QUOTE] Wolf, not fox.
As i mentioned in the previous thread, let me know if you need any help with ze code. I suspect you'll be fine, but I'd be glad to lend a hand.
How's the site looking sheriff Galago?
