I am unsure what you mean about our change in direciton.  How did we change our direction as a website?

Contrary to what all the people post - this site is 100% impartial, unless my employees have some hidden agendas that I am unaware of - as the person who sells 100% of the ad space here I assure you that no favors are ever given for purchasing advertising...not that it is not tried by advertisers (normally small ones not large companies) - I would never allow this on MMORPG.com - ever.

 

You changed the direction when you started flooding this site with advertisements and user-created content. This is irrelevant to the thread subject, so let's not discuss this hear. If you'd like to hear my views on this, then I'm more than willing to share, so please contact me via pm.

 

We have always stuck to the basic three ads per page - with the exception of the new home page and game list "skins" we do now this is still the same.  We have to make profits or we will shut the site down.  We have 6 full time employees to pay, massive hosting costs, equipment, travelling costs, and the list goes on and on.

User content is what the people want - and we need to compete.  This is a business, make no mistake - but an honest one.  We will always take the site in the direction we feel the community wants - and blogs guild systems and galleries are all things we need to do to compete in our market.

Reported for being off-topic!

I'm sorry, but I just had to do that.

But I'd love to see MMORPG.com be the first major site to get some exposure to the mysteries of DF.

Since we know the MMORPG.com staff has seen the OP's request I think it would be best to close this thread and take further off-point discussion to PMs.

Sorry Craig, you're right there.

I simply hate the way things are goings these days, and I'd be a fool if I didn't recognise that influence upon my opinion.

I'm just a dinosaur missing the days when websites were about a single topic. I found things far easier to follow without pictures of peoples cat litter trays, or their opinions on how Obama styles his hair.

I'd give you a big hug if I could and tell you that my way is the right way, but I appreciate that evolution is the key in this world where cockroaches are learning how to read :(

Hey, noone asks for my threads to be locked but me.

 As long as we can keep the thread civil, I would prefer this topic not be left by the wayside and any continuing developments in regards to this site getting into the beta be regularly updated.

I agree...there is no reason to lock this thread as long as it stays on topic.  Especially since the staff was nice enough to give us a lightning fast response to Zorvan's request.

Thank you Originalrgg I some how missed that one that is what I was looking for. Now I want to play this game even more

Telbar,

If sincere (it is so hard to tell these days) you are very welcome.  There has been a wave of new info lately and it can definitely be hard to miss certain things if you arent a hardcore fanboi.  Things are looking up for sure.

Especially if this thread leads to a MMORPG.com hands on review of the game.
