Hey, by the way, if I won something with my place, I'd like to donate it to EAC, server or domain costs or whatever, you figure it out.

It's been a pleasure to take part, great turnout, great games everyone!

Seba and Ray, I think I am well enough now to start playing the games. When would you guys like to play? I'm pretty flexible with my time and days since I'm just sitting at home recovering.

In that case, I think I can still play this game, that's good.

Sent you a PM.

I think C.O.P.S. is just another popularity contest that is not worth the breath

Strangely enough I had the same feeling.

Hey!

Due to personal problems, I am going to move away from home and going to have a full-time job next to school to pay for the rent. Stuff is happening really quickly now.

I read Dub-c is unable to play this week, which is bad for me because I by no means can play worms with this new apartment and schedule so I'll have to forfeit my last round, I'm really sorry.

What happened to BFW?

Guess who...

I just finished couple of Dan Brown's masterpieces, he's a brilliant writer.

At the moment, I am reading Lev Tolstoy's War and Peace, since I really enjoyed Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, I had to give it a try.

Hey people!

Cold Fusion is proud to present it's newest member...




:drumroll:





Crash! Yes, you heard it right, that Polish bastard's dream to play for CF has come true! Welcome on board.

SPW versus Ray on 2nd November, Friday at 20GMT.

Never would have guessed you of all people will enjoy playing HAL.

whoa.... ray, your the new f@#!ing drama queen...


that was sick and tasteless...


your only helping if everything is done how you want it, and what you say goes, and its all or nothing... gtfo

TUS NO WANT YOU BLOODCLOT HELP THAN MON!

I insist on doing it one way because I have a reason for it and I know for a fact that it just cannot work otherwise. I've been part of design teams and I know how the thought process works which leads to actual solutions, I want the best for this site, that's all.

This site needs a complete change of source code and one good graphic, not user submissions. Why is everything user-submissions here? Nevermind, nothing will ever change here, just people will leave and quality will decrease until it's going to be like WWP.

If by source code, you mean HTML output, yes. Since TUS2, it is possible to have a 100% different output on any part of TUS. From images to HTML tags etc etc...

TUS has changed a lot since its creation, I may have a lot of bad qualities as an admin, but one thing I have shown and that is I'm not afraid of change. However I can't change "user-submissions". I live in a country with total dictatorship and few people who think they are better than anyone and decide for us. Maybe that has exaggerated my point of view but I don't think I'm better than the community and I don't want to be considered as one. I'm one of them. If they need anything I'm here to help.

See, you have offered us to volunteer, but nothing is organized. If you want something to happen, you, as a leader, have to put a team together. That team would set up a conference, where you talk, discuss and try to find a way to solve the problem. First of course you have to find the problem. But like this, nothing is ever going to change.

If you are willing to do that, I'm offering you my help. But save the "what do you want community?" threads then. Put together a team of volunteers who know what to do and discuss with them, on Skype or whatever, what is to be done and then execute that. I am willing to help and be part of that.

Why a volunteer must need so much preparations before starting?

DarkOne is an example of volunteer work. I didn't even know the guy before and yet out of nowhere he popped on TUS and start making thing better. I'm a total newbie comparing to him, yet he started working on a website done by someone so much lower than him, also a website with so much criticism at the time he started.
THeDoGG is an example of volunteer work. He opened up his Photoshop and gave me illustrations of his design. Then he asked for TUS files to edit to suit his own design.
Xray99 was an example of volunteer work. Many of the things on TUS league, the way it looks and handles things are inspired by him.

It has been 4 years that TUS is using the same design concept. Its pro/cons are known to everybody. If you think you have the answer to a better design, great, but it would be only you, because there's nobody else interested in design to team you up with. No one has offered me any help since. There are many people whining of the current designs, but almost all of them don't wanna get bothered with or doesn't have the skill.

As mentioned by people, TUS is suffering from the design concept, mostly the way links are shown and create confusions. If someone has a solution, all it takes is to show us some image that how things/elements on TUS must get arranged. That must be done NOT by removing some major links. For example "Maps" is pointing to map database, you can't ease the design by removing maps link.

There's no need to go for the full design with codes and stuff at first. If a new design is done and that is what people use the most, it will become TUS's default design.

The problem lies elsewhere, namely: there is just too much stuff that this site does not need. At all. Why we'd need to discuss stuff with other people as a team is simply to get the answer for this: what can we remove?

And yes, we do need leaders! Even "the best democracy" needs leaders. A bad system is where leaders make decisions to get advantage out of them, while great leaders take responsibility for their actions and listens. That doesn't mean that everything should be accepted from anyone. I hope you get the difference.

Designing is much like that. You need a team, you need thoughts and ideas from people who know what they are talking about. Sorry if that sounds harsh... but that's how it leads to a solution.

For instance, when we at our company design a website for a client, the last thing we go with is the client's word and it's because they don't know what they need. They have a rough idea of what they might want, but we are the experts at how the clients can use their websites to get actual results, for example, bigger sales.

Komo, your words prove how little you know of the field of front-end design. As it was said countless times in this topic already: if you use something regularly, you get used to it. A programmer from 1976 will always look down at Visual Studio because he did all that shit when it was a black screen and a console.

Same on this field, a graphic/UI/UX/front-end designer always has to think with the brain of the user, which is very hard to do by the way.

Avirex: I already offered my help in this topic. I believe my solution, my methods could bring up a good end result, but we either do it my way or no way. MI hasn't responded to me or sent me any messages yet.

Regarding the design, people can design TUS, if they think they have idea to make TUS more friendly. Their design will be added to TUS.

Okay, that is just completely stupid, I'm sorry.

This site needs a complete change of source code and one good graphic, not user submissions. Why is everything user-submissions here? Nevermind, nothing will ever change here, just people will leave and quality will decrease until it's going to be like WWP.

Breeze, it's really not that quick of a job.

Drop down menus are used on site where they have a lot of links, which is the case here for sure. By the way Mablak, absolutely agree, I kind of giggled at this:

Quote from: Mablak on October 23, 2012, 02:20 AMFirst of all, there just shouldn't be any moving stuff in the background, it's the kind of stuff you'd expect to see on a do-it-yourself page from the mid-90s.

lales and me found each other in #AG randomly, so we played our games.
