The VG Press


http://thevgpress.com




I can officially announce our new site as being The VG Press.  Development has not been at all idle, and the site is essentially complete, leaving testing and minor adjustments.


Quite literally every aspect of the site has been evaluated and updated, including visual design, navigation, security, search functions, community, RSS, web standards, browser compatibility and just plain old new features.  Everything.


So you're thinking, "How can I help?"  Ah, I need you to answer three simple questions:


  1. Do you want to have the option of writing articles?

  2. Do you want to have moderator priviledges?

  3. What crazy ideas do you have that would make The VG Press a better place upon arrival?

Writing isn't a commitment but merely the option of submitting an article should you wish.  Moderators I figure one European/Austrailian and one North American will cover it -- basically all that needs to be done there is make sure there's no porn since ignoring that it's out-of-place here, it causes complications with Canadian law.


I also believe it was Iga who asked about transferring over content from Insert Coin.  There will be no problem porting over every single piece of data.



November 2 - thevgpress.com - BE THERE

Not sure how I feel about this editor business. How is it going to feel if I say for instance: Hey Edge, your article is pretty crappy so I can't approve it.

People are going to be pissed off.

Yoda does not care is people are pissed off, he is purely driven by logic. Yoda would make a good editor!

The editing process is built into syndication.  The design is that there is a static front page, so it has to be updated by vetting articles.

Revisions will basically only come when
-The topic or content is just inappropriate for whatever reason (unlikely)
-Something needs clarification
-The articles for the week have already been chosen, so rejecting for revisions allows editing before the next week's front page.

However unfortunate, there has to be some kind of control there.

I agree that there has to be control. I'm just looking into the future and imagining some ugly situations. I've read a few blogs in my time from friends that have been pretty bad or tired to read but you don't go about vetting them LOL

Maybe I'm just too polite.

Yoda, will blogs still be listed on the main page?

At present design, the front page content of blogs and reviews has been moved to your profile page, which itself has been much improved.
