So no [+] popularity system then

how are you ever gonna measure your self-worth

[+] popularity system is an absolute must. Seriously, some kind of "like" is needed. ppl love that shit.

there is. but you have to klik on link to see ;)

Would be cool if I could remove the news banner with pictures at top (the one with 5 news in it) when logged in.

It looks nice, bit too much padding, but generally nice.

not bad, not bad. keep tweaking it and making it better. it's already snappy and has a lot of potential.

gj, sir.

edit: and it's even cooler that it's made by a gangsterer

Finally a site that does exactly what ESR does.

... And more :)
It's a familiar design with a much more user friendly interface, uploading images, setting up news posts and so on are far more intuitive. BBcode support isn't bad either since we're in 2015 or so

I click the link and all I see is big menu + random rectangles of everything combined.
D:

You've been registered here since 2009, the design should be pretty familiar by now also

That's what I'm trying to say, PF is using a design akin to that of ESR - reading stuff, navigating through the website and other basic functions should be easy

except there's no reason to move to an unknown site just because it has the same stylesheet as GGL with no extra functionality

ESR has BBcode
Who wants to see trolls using size=7 replies
no betting
recruitment area is a glorified forum section

no betting

They do have betting using their own special coins system. iirc you get 200 the first time you register

I'm not telling you to move, I'm just stating the positive aspects of this project.

I know ESR supports BBcode, but it's rather limited and not that user friendly.

I don't get why this would be released when fpspulse is already floundering?

I need some new input,
gotta check out both those sites

Which technology is used? PHP?

inb4injection

Nothing wrong with using PHP :D

I know ;p my site runs off it

So does mine :D Except my sites use SmartyPHP's template engine..

I really should start updating it to Laravel though.

not me...I'm all about the echo "<script>jQuery</script><b>fuck MVC lifestyle</b>";

MVC lifestyle, best lifestyle. :D

if you look at http://www.plusforward.net/js/pf_main.js, you can see that it is making AJAX requests to php files for many of the interactive elements on the site.

i like that plusforward is for all game. esr is just quake.

good work

lets abandon this site and just go there? :)

let CMSS go first

we will pay his puritan ass so he will annoy every1 here so the transition happens more smoothly

Easier to leave the event horizon.

i like that film

Me too, aside from the removal of eyes, it was just wrong.

The movie is overrated and boring. A real scary movie is Pontypool.

PontyPool is scary IRL.

Only 30 mins away.

... uh, ok.

nice site but

is there an option for different colour schemes?

yes it does, dark colour scheme is way more soothing for looking at troll comments. :)

we had a similar idea years ago about ql tdm and came to the same conclusions aswell

why are all of these new quake/fps community web sites so afraid of text?

I really like the color scheme of the place ... It's not like boring colors like what FPSPulse has, it's a new warmer colors. I like it :D

tdm! <3 gj noctis and everybody else!

gg, registered

I find the interface pretty unclear, unintuitive, and "heavy"; i'd prefer something lighter, simpler; maybe that's just me, but i think esr's main strenght point is exactly this: text heavy, simple layout, not a ton of curtains menu.

I like the idea and the attempt, i wish you good luck, i'll try it out

I agree. The main strength of ESR for me is that I can get everything already from the front page and the page feels alive because of the different types of user content instantly presented to me. On PF there is so much stuff on front page I don't really care about when I check the site. IMO latest/forum activity should be integrated there instead of lifeless lists of "who is going to play who" and a calendar (I'm not saying they shouldn't be there, just not the main focus). Community sites start from interactions between community members, which should be in the spotlight.

Also news and first posts could be separated better from each other/rest of the site.

I also dislike all the automatic menu stuff and things moving when I didn't do anything specific.

This is typically one of those things that "look cool" and "webmasters" love but are just annoying to use.

ESR is something like Clanbase was when it was still around. Outdated design most would say, yet so simple and easy to get around it can last forever.

it has a RSS feed, yipie.

Link to your RSS vault ?

Hmm it is private, previously my google reader migrated to feedly, can't share it, or at least I can't find out how to ^^

: (

no demos, no thx.

i refuse to move on from IRC, quake and ESR.

great work!

TEAM FINDER/RECRUTIERER is a good thing now =]

only sad because nonew player in tdm ql and no new polish

It's amazing.

it's just a forum area?

It's a tab on it's own, found under recruitment.

yes but it's just a forum area, no?

ESR could easily add "separate" tabs linking to QL/recruitment/UT sub-genres but they're still forum areas

Yea it uses the same code as the forum layout, when browsing the recruitment posts. It has more scripts and stuff when you register a new team search, that the forum posts don't have, so it would not be quite that simple.

And this is ESR, the page will probably look the same in another 10 years ahead.

Also, my first comment referred to my amazing team search:
http://www.plusforward.net/post/650/creep/

stop harrassing me, I won't join your clan

I'm a creep, harrassment is my thing.

:*

looking forward to contributing

good work, best of luck ^_____^

Such passive aggressiveness, it's just a doom4 fansite

such projection, very mirrorfull

give me & GNiK privileges so we can start blowing plusForward out the water http://esreality.com/post/2739389/n-a/#pid2739161

if you're honestly interested, ask on irc.

;)

Out of curiosity, did you ever get access to the source code and do anything with it? I remember you asked on irc and afaik Demiurge is more than willing to give people who are willing to work on the site access.

yeah but some irl drama lately...hopefully I'll move house early/mid Oct then can try to decode it all...so many LOCs :f

edit: 20% irl, 50% laziness, 15% csgo, 15% need to set up a VM as w7

Looking forward to seeing the results of your endeavor. :)

I agree that the layout would benefit from some simplification. Also, the default color scheme is hard to process.

A PC gaming website designed for mobile devices.

Rapha and Tox probably don't appreciate te logo.

I absolutely don't care and will continue using esr.

Sadly this.

I mean noctis is an awesome player but, ESR is king.

... let this dove go, let it go so it can die a natural death BY BEHANDING DA-DA BAAAAAM!!!. GONE, DEAD, like geosites ... OVER! ... except QL.

esr and quake is old and too niche, is time for new site cover more games.

who cares we r old school anws

Noctis ftw :) really hope this website does well

I like how competative site is advertised here and some admins support it talking that we should move there. Am I the only one who finds this abusive to esr? :D

ESR got its feelings hurt :(

its a bit racist, but cmon, ESR almoast has geosites status by now. :)

Basically terrorism.

Did you know that back in the day, Microsoft invested in Apple to keep it alive?

http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/08/opinion/the...s-eye.html

Mr. Gates and Mr. Jobs announced that Microsoft would inject more than $150 million into Apple and take other steps to guarantee Apple's near-term survival. Some Apple zealots in the audience hooted. Others sighed in relief. Virtually all were surprised and confused. Even in cyberspace it is odd for one company to bail out its only rival in a key area of business.

I literally only skimmed over it for 15 minutes.

+ new
+ runs nicely. very polished in general.
+ [+]es
+ no sorting by plusses.
+ I think you let us upload images without having to make the comment first. that is good. Very 21st century.

- colours. bright is ewww. But there’s apparently a dark scheme, so that’s fine.
- content is centered in mid, with huge amounts of empty space at the sides. Very 21st century.
- I like the weird, intransparent and obstruse % system for posts/comments of ESR. It has grown on me. I think there may even be some form of logic to it, with the rating of individual users and whatnot. In general, I would just like to see something more creative than a simple this-many-users-plussed-this or x-y-and-z-liked-this.
- I don’t see why news on the front page are restricted to an sms’s worth of character. Don’t hide your content.
- give [-]es (public ones?)
- give sidebar. There only is a new hof entry on esr like once a year, but when there is, I want to be able to have it one click away. Also, latest comments/threads/news is $$$
- give me the option to use markdown pls. Fuck BBCode. I want to hard-wrap things.
- what is a diabotical?
- why can’t I see the recruitment offers for all games and for both teams and players on a single page?

extend into other genres, maybe? fpsz, cs?
twitch lets you automatically see all streams for a given game. Would be nice if you supported this.

diabotical is the new name given to 2gd's game reborn

it's diabetical actually

ESR still works on my 32kbit line plus it scales nicely on a wide screen without bs spaces. Would be awesome if you could offer a "minimal" theme for those of us who are stuck in the past.

I like the idea of having a new site that covers fresh fps games. But if you are going to have mainly QL and Reflex content I do not see much reason to use that site in addition to ESR.

I heard that rapha is taking part in new site named "plusback" and it will cover mainy sh*tmania and how to use your faith to win tournaments. True story

clever gurl

bookmarked

I like it. :)

Maybe here's an idea: a page / section dedicated to learning how to play / improving at quake. This page would basically be an archive of all video's ever made on improving at quake (for example Rapha's dm6 analysis at IEM studios, twister's analysis videos, vods of strenx going over maps). Also there could be links to articles that people wrote on this subject, a Memento_Mori article comes to mind.

There's a lot of stuff like this and tutorials floating around twitch and youtube, but I don't think it has ever been archived and catagorized (beginner, advanced catagories come to mind, or perhaps tactical / movement catagories).

I think it would be good for both the community and attracting people to your site.

Some nice design!

Btw, I'm already there, as part of team, but how can i "link" my username with my player profile?

Question 2, will there be user-hosted tournaments? Or will you cover major events only?

lol @ how outdated and un-interesting that website and layout is ....

esr?

dont see the point myself, esr covers quake, and lets be honest, the people here on esr care about quake, until another skillful fps comes about.

Better off advertising that site on some console/casual forums where they might be more interested in the cods/halos etc.

It's just meh.

it look a lot like esr but more advanced.
