Need Some Help!!!!

[old.xgamer]

Ok guys I need some help. I have a new website up called <<http://editited for your pleasure>> and btw I am not advertising. What I need is some people to help me with writing reviews and news for games. I can't write all the reviews myself becuase I don't have time and I have not played all the games. My site is a gaming site with all the different types of systems reviews and news and stuff. And again I am not advertising I just really need some help getting content up there. So if you could help just e-mail me at"sorry had to edit this too " Any help would be much appreciated. Again go check out the site I think you will Like the layout and might want to help me out..


TIA

A pretty site but I could never write for someone who spells 'extreme' in some bizarre fashion and constantly plays music at me.

 

[caLLous]

heh ditto

 

[old.xgamer]

The reason it is spelled like that is becuase gamextreme was already taken, and you can turn the music off duh....

Ok, I have a question -

Why create a website if you don't have any content, or any means of getting any content?

 

[old.Kez]

I have a better question:

Are you sure this doesn't fall under the umbrella of 'advertising / pimping' in some way?

Rhetorical.

Man, it really annoys me when people make designs like this and it has absolutely NO CONTENT that i would care about whatsoever, if your gonna make it look like that make sure it's got somin on it tht people want, the web was made for information, not art

 

[old.Kez]

Bit of a cunt then that amidst all the porn and juarez, there lies one of the best platforms for art distribution.

Ok guys now that you have bitch slaped my site, let me tell a little bit about the site. You guys ever heard of 2advanced? Well If you haven't go to 2advanced.com and check that out. Two of the designers from 2advanced did the site for me, so if you are slamming my site you are slamming 2advanced a very respected company. And btw all I wanted to do was start up a site that people could come to and get true reviews, not some reviews by big companys that are paid to give good reviews to crappy games, I want my site to be true that is why I need freelance people that speak the truth about games, not some hyped up crap. So guys don't slam me I am not advertising in anyway I don't even care if you go to the site, I just thought that I might find some people that would like to write reviews and news and be real about the games. I thought I could find some of those people here but guess not. So sorry for causing all this animosity.

blah blah blah no one is "slamming" 2advanced, did anyone here say the site ain't pretty? the main point raised was "what's the point of starting up a site and paying for hosting (or whatever) without having any content?" surely it's better to get the content sorted out and then launch the site?

 

[Hashmonster]

u would have probably been better off asking:-

can anybody out there help me with writing some reviews for a new webbie i'm hoping on launching.

Least with no mention of your webbie url it would pass the "no pimping" rule.

 

[Furr]

ahh but that would be cost effective , dont want that do we , might be smart , who knows what might happen next people will start thinking and the world will be a happy place where everyone gets enough to live and provide for there family
*shudders at the thought*

 

[old.xgamer]

Well The reason I got the site first before content is because I had a forum up for some time, and I needed a site so I thought If I got a cool site then I could get people interested and have some people help me out with the content.


xgamer

 

[Furr]

yeah suppose that would probably work to entice some reviewers , no one wants to reivew for a tacky site

 

[old.xgamer]

exactly my point I just thought I could get more people to help if I had a good site....

[Embattle]

good luck xgamer but I must say the following:

1. 2advanced.com looked like they more or less ripped there own site to make yours, although it's slightly adapted.
2. Giving honest reviews is fine as long as you are willing to buy the games yourself, since if a company won't send them to you just to have the piss ripped out of it....pointing out bad points is fine.
3. No site is easy to run and its best to pimp it when you have something to show.

 

[Grimes]

zoo tycoon - tell me that isnt a bloody real game !

Hashmonsters stance of.. can anybody out there help me with writing some reviews for a new webbie i'm hoping on launching I heartly agree with.

and the site does look pretty albeit they have gone over the top with the blue/steel theme
is there a theme button?

 

[old.xgamer]

Ok for the millionth time i am not f***ing pimping my site I could care less if you guys went to the site or not. And 2advanced did not rip their site to do mine, that is a huge insult to them...No class

xgamer

 

[Furr]

you know you dont have to type xgamer at the end of what youve posted , its to the left of your post.....

 

[old.xgamer]

yeah i know that i do that anyway just cause i want to.


//editing first post taking url out and e-mail out so can't be accused of pimping or advertising...whatever....


xgamer

 

[Furr]

*notices hes stopped doing it*

 

[old.xgamer]

no

xgamer

 

[Furr]

damn that edit.....

 

[old.Kez]

FYI, 2advanced doesn't really live up to either its name, or hype.

Its pretty shit, in my (humbled) opinion.

 

[old.xgamer]

Can you do better?

xgamer

 

[old.Kez]

Should I have to?

(no; being the answer, I stated it was a humble opinion because while I am competent - even good in some cases - I'm certainly not the best, but neither are they - and their name [2advanced] implies more than is deleivered)

 

[old.xgamer]

Yeah their site really sucks bad....Yeah Right man their site is bad ass...Not very many other sites even compair to theirs...

Good Flash skills do not make you a good webmaster, or a webmaster at all in fact. Generally I find the two are largely mutually exclusive.

Flash only sites are so 1990's, and hark back to a time when people in general were just starting to get the most out of Flash, and as with any new toy did everything in said medium.

2Advanceds' site, while impressive, hardly constitutes a good web-site. It's a toy, an impressive interactive movie. Nothing more. Just because someone thinks your web-site is shit hardly means they're slagging 2Advanced: that's just pish-poor logic. A site can look brilliant/sexy whatever but that doesn't make it a good website. It just makes it an attractive turd.

What catagory would big titted pornsome ladies fall under then? And don't tell me you don't have any stowed under your favorites...

Made for infomation... lol... You are the Prince of Lies!!

And 2advanced is a bad name, I can see 2unlimited being a subsiduary and nobody really wants that hanging around at board meetings. It looks very good, the site, but it looks very good in the same way that all these other sites that look very good look very good. *Breathe deeply* Kapiche? Generic goodness. I have a website, and it does look like it has just been sellotaped together and drawn with Etchasketch, but we still got lots of hits because of the content. Well, we did, past tense... another story.

I can't remember why I started writing now... Oh yeah, don't let the teeth and fangs put you off, these guys never actually draw blood. Unless you ask them to.

I would write reviews for you, but my gaming reviews are pretty much the same as my girly car reviews - this game is good, and fast. And mainly red.
