If I was a CoD player I'd see no reason at all to frequent here, away from the active community and big tournaments/ladders/prizes. The main things one could do for something like this one are probably create a few CoD subforums and hope for ex-UT3 clans to bring some friends over, which obviously has been very succesful so far..

Also probably get some game-specific mods, who moderate their game's forums.
I have no idea how hard it'd be to get a sponsor, if you're lucky you may find one for a small 16 team tournament (I forgot how many players vs how many players it was in CoD matches, but you'd probably need like 5-6 per team excluding subs, meaning at least 96 CoD players).

Anyway, that's if you were interested in CoD, but that's got little to do with your original question after some scripting related work.

Yep another solid point the COD community is way more active. 

Its way better to keep this site small and just with players who have played ut3 because it really increases the chances of the site ever going somewhere. I mean less players who know about ut3 the better right?

If UT3 had just 5% of the COD community aware that it was a good game then you might see more than 16 players online at peak times. 

So to conclude (in my conversation with WOPR) I think your time would be well spent putting your efforts into a project with more interest and something you enjoy playing. I'm not saying it has to be COD but the MAG game might be an idea. You have already shown you can network well with fragged nation... you might be able to make yourself some proper money if you put your efforts into a project that has potential to expand rather than just decrease slowly until only Drokun is online playing with himself.

Are you saying they're the same? In that case there'd be no point at all for CoD players in coming to this site..  Others have frequent leagues, tournaments and ladders with prizes. Also clans who actually want to play matches.

Another point well made by Drokun.

This is just a forum for some ppl who play the same game, the main difference between these forums and the ones on those sites is that there's less 12 year old kids who think they're gonna go pr0.

Oh yeah, good point. Thank for reminding me that only dead games need sites like this.

Good point Drokun.

Make a MW2 site just like this... 

You will have active clans and more than 50 people online.

I think that a centralized, easy to use, custom content download section would be nice.

i agree with drokun. but i think the clan idea might not work Bcuz there sersly is not that many active 
clans left. i haven't seen that many clan match's happen for a good while. the iAM events seem to 
be looking good and if the CTF event has Enuff people then getting that to be organized a little better
would be nice. (Not to say Ric0 and Remy are not doing a great job, Bcuz they are)
NEway, good 2 see ya back WOPR! :)

I like that feature option, where you could highlight a team or player, preferably on the ladders (as some kind of incentive if anything).

Next to that a feature that allows mods to make news articles might be nice as well to announce stuff such as say the next iAM event, perhaps brief interviews with teams who won an event and stuff like that.

Another idea could be some new link along the Home, Ladders, IRC Chat, Frag Videos and Live Stream ones that could give a nice overview of the current standings and teams in the currently active league (or the 2v2 tourney if it's still underway..). You could also include the dates, and give moderators or at least some kind of acces to the league admins.

Actually if you want to figure out more features you could probably check out GameBattles.com or ConsoleGaming.eu, as those are some active console gaming ladder sites (not for ut3, obviously).

Also if you're gonna be starting on the map thing again I'll help if you want me to, last time I kind of forgot to reply to what you'd asked me to.

I pretty much realise this is a lot, but you asked for suggestions :P

I was thinking of making a mod site when I was bored a few months back. I even made the url (just a free blog) but then I realised how pointless it would be as no one would use it. Also it would only be stuff people could get elsewhere anyway.

Don't think a mod site would be a worthwhile exercise but feel free if you want to. Same with a featured clan or something, there's only a few left!

Don't wanna bash your ideas, I know I'm not exactly helping here.

I've still had no luck finding a job so I need to give myself some technical work to keep my head in the game.  I'm creating some other random Network/IT work for myself but I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to diversify and do some web stuff here as well.  So I'm just looking for some feedback on what my project here ought to be.  I had 2 main things on my list before I was pulled away....

1) Designing a new main page that was more functional and informative...so instead of an image with some links there would be maybe some gaming news feeds...featured gaming video...featured clan...or whatever else you/I think we might want on there.

2) Hosting UT3 custom content (maps, mutators, etc) downloads.  So that you or anyone could come here on your PC or your PS3 and download a map directly from iamgaming.  A few months ago I had a beta version of my code up and running but I needed to fix a few security related things before I could release it...then it would be a matter of collecting and uploading maps.

If you guys have other things that are reasonable side projects for the site that you think would be a better use of my time please post and let me know.
