Hi everyone

Thought I’d let you know a bit of whats going on in this head of mine…  the bit to do with Gaming Spree.

I’m not sure what I was thinking, but anyway Gaming Spree kinda became a Social Network.. or at least was trying to be. Yeh I’ll go with trying to be. Which looking back now, was wrong. Gaming Spree was never about being a Social Network..  I cant piece together words to describe what is was, maybe some of yous could posts what yous thought it was.

Some of my attempts

“a place where we waited on Darren to hurry up and make a proper, error free site”

“a place where we just had a bit of fun, and talked about games, and did whatever….. while we *refer above* ”

Anyway back on track, a few days ago when I realised this I decided I’d get rid of alot of the sites features. Although I wasnt sure what to get rid of. For awhile I was even edging the forum closer to the edge of the god forsaken cliff.  Till I was brought back to my senses..

Im still not 100% sure what should stay and what should go, what should be changed, what should be edited. Although I have a better idea now. I thought I’d leave making any changes to the site for awhile till I see what “works” and was doesnt. Instead of guessing.

*And any feedback from yous would be greatly appreciated*

So yous wont see any major changes to the site for a few weeks, although I’ll still be working away on its design etc, on the test site.

Im trying to be as vage as possible with these details as they all arent finalised but

yous can expect:

A new better design

Easier Navigation

More help with running of your own blog site

A more indepth forum

Your blogs site better set up, so if yous are too picky it will only be a matter of signup and start writing.

And other “geeky stuff”

possibly the option to buy your own domain name for your blog site.

I’ll finish this up with *ahhhhhh there*

Ok I cant remember everything 100% but I’ll give it ago…

Gaming Spree started off as a pre installed PHPbb forum on bitzhats, or a site with a name along those lines. Basically it was Smokey, Cono, Omega and I. Yes were were the only ones ever to go on..

Then I moved us over to an E107 sites, but the hosting was terrible, plus my skills *or lack of them* had left the site full of errors, but we made do, and times were great… till interest dies down to us few regulars again, till even we too never bother going on much. Meanwhile I was busy setting up a “New place” for Gaming Spree. again built on the E107 CMS *content management system for you normal people )  It was better, members came on alot, for awhile. Then again they died off. Must be some sort of  disease. Smokey & Cono as great as ever came on the odd time to see what was happening.

I hope Ive learned enough from my past mistakes (and that your still reading ) to keep Gaming Spree alive and well. The site it self is alot better than past ones, although I’ll not go as far as saying its good.  I thought too much time had gone by with Gaming Spree being dead, so Im launching it now as it is. Its bug free, nearly. There’s a few things that aren’t working, the invite system being the biggest. But I’ll promise you I’ll work on them. Without sacrificing the community side of things

As I don’t have any help set up yet as to how to work this great big system: Wordpress.  Im more than happy to help yous out if yous get stuck.  I’ll try and make things easier to navigate, and better looking too But mess about with it, see what yous come up with!s no limit as to how many blogs you can have, but please don’t take advantage of this, and ruin it for everyone.
