Default GT Front Page

Talking with some other members, seem like some would be interested in having a main page again, and Teuthida suggested a parody/satirical game news website.

I think it has merit or whatever you want to say, just wanted to see the general level of interest amongst the posters.

I think that's actually a pretty good idea.

It's a good idea. I've wanted to bring back the main page for a long time.

The issue is: 1) getting the FTP access and 2) finding someone who has the time to make the page and update it. I probably don't have time to do either until Juneish, but I could do some work.

Just do a blog-type thing. Make a wordpress blog and make the domain name forward to it.

An onion-style game news website sounds hilarious and awesome.

I like the idea, too. The Onion writers are spot-on. I think GT could be, too.

It should be open to all the major members of the site

Yes, I mean myself.

Good to see there is interest, and really, we have no way to fix it up right now, but I'm all for people writing articles so we can get a feel for everyone's writing style/sense of humor.

If you want and could post them on the forums.

I think this is a great idea and really want to see it happen. Unfortunately, I don't have time to starting working on it until early June.

Okay so just trying to gauge some more routes.

What are members willing to contribute to a main/front page?
Teuthida mentioned doing a weekly comic strip.
Typhoid said he would be willing to do like weekly music reviews.

So what else we got? Reviews? Editorials? Satirical articles? Look at release for the week?
