A New Website for WoW Modding

<< < (20/27) > >>

--- Quote from: "Mr. DK" ---This topic has been online for quite some time now. First I wanted to keep my hands out of this but there are a few things I want to say. First of all most of the people would agree that the small community we have become does not need 2 websites. I understand that the second page was created to be a better Modcraft. You can deny it but thats how it is. Its your opinion of how things should be. They have alot of nice content and this page really could use some polish. But this does not mean the second page is in any way better than the first. To be honest a new look and stuff like galleries dont make it a better thing. What we really lack and i know this has been discussed several times is fresh blood in the community and this new page wont help with that. I took a visit to the site and felt like its been nearly as "confusing" as this site. Nonetheless I think there owners will not agree in "reuniting" and therefore we will probably see which community makes the race. Because on the longterm we are to view people to really maintain 2 sites.

I hope anyone will find my opinion usfull and good morning Modcraft!

Yeah, I actually agree at some points but in general... The point of our site is to attract new and more people which has already happened. We got several users who were not doing modding before. We were and maybe are (it is up to Milly to decide) happy to merge but Steff refused. Of course, we suggested working on a new site as a new platform because merging things into that site kills the entire idea, it won't help anything. This site (I mean Modcraft) is too outdated to be a fully functioning community now.

Milly:
Hi guys, I've been ignoring this thread because I don't want to read it and say something stupid again... Sorry for calling you a lunatic Magnus. I might say things like that when I'm mad but it's nothing.

In any case, you all keep bringing up some really good points, but they've already been addressed many times in the past. You're maybe right that two communities is not ideal, but the offer to work together was made months ago. And the offer to merge is still negotiable. We're not enemies. And to assume that the new website won't bring in new blood is not an unreasonable assumption, but it is a false one. We've already got quite a few new people. Albeit only between 2-5, but still people who are eager to learn modding.

And I wanted to clarify that a website is not magical. A website does not fix problems on its own. But what our site has done is brought a new spirit to WoW Modding. This thread itself is a complete riot, and that's a good thing!  ;) It reminds people we exist. Many people have told us that they're coming back because new things are happening. People want change. It's a breath of fresh life for the modding community, and good things will come :)

How can u talk about a merge that absicly means shut down modcraft and port everything to your site cuz u find modcraft outdated? I see you invested money into your site and I like the style. But you cant say you are open for a merge and on the other hand say a merge can not be doen wth the old site...


And about thr 4-5 guys you are talking about. Those are the standart guys who downlaod noggit somewhere encounter a problem and then nned help fixing it and never return. You can find those guys in the Noggit sectiona swell.

Nope they're people I've talked to on Skype who are really excited about modding and just needed a hand ^^

And you're right, we wouldn't merge back into the old site. It goes against everything we've worked for. But it's still an offer of good intentions we weren't required to make to begin with.

I personally did not invest money into it. Milly did, in more than decent amounts. But that's not the point. Does it make sense to merge into something that is worse than what you have, at least in my opinion. I think it does not. As I said Modcraft did not want to be changed when we asked long time ago, and so be it. We just moved forward with our own thing and are happy about it. People who like it ... well, I guess use it and contribute.
