Might as well strip all the geocities links from the homepage. Tons of dead ends now.

Ok, all the broken links were geocities. The Rare Ranks and PD LTK were updated with the new URLs that were posted here, the rest stripped out.
Are Andrew's pages from his geocities "vulpex" account online at a new location? This account was hosting the N64 High Scores site. "Ding Ding! Here comes the shit-mobile.

As I was telling Derek...
I have an idea that we should incorporate pictures onto the main page somehow. I think we should line up 10 to 12 pictures from all the VA meets, Eddie's Michigan meet, etc, and cycle them through in 10 second intervals on the upper right portion of the screen with captions underneath. If we move the "we are an elite gaming community" banner underneath the old banner on the left, we have the perfect square void to fill on the right. I can upload the pictures I believe would fit best if this idea bodes well.... ! (I just think Adam's quad kill needs to be plastered somewhere on the site, along with 20-19-19-19, random gaming pictures of the pillar members, candid pictures of the admins, etc) |

in short, i am willing to test something like this, but won't be undertaking it myself. if someone hands me a piece of code to embed somewhere, i will try
finding a home for it on the home page.
i recommend using Lightbox, which does a CSS/JS overlay for slideshows. very simple to employ and would be a nice way to include the pictures. perhaps a small thumbnail somewhere in the header area that invites users to see what we are about (launches the lightbox slideshow). do something like this and i will add it. the 20-19-19-19 and quadkill shots are definitely worthy. perhaps the group shot from VA. and classic pictures (e.g. game rage and other elite relics) "Ding Ding!

Hmm nice, Derek. Spread that around!
ok, so here's what I think. I'll take this opportunity to show my point of view about what the-elite website should be about, so that's why it's a long post. What should the visitor have in sight when he enters the-elite and has no clue of what it's about? Ok, he will see a Bond and a Jo there, so he'll know it's about GE and PD (assuming he has played these games, and that is the visitor we want). Then he will see a big box saying we are the best players in the world, and he'll be like "lolz wtf thats trashz talk", then he will notice that there are some videos on the right side, he's gonna watch any of those, will be like "omgz their fast" and after that he will realize that we play for records. Then he might be interested in taking a look at the latest news, and see if we are updated enough (he'll see that yes, we are). After that, there are many things he can do. He'll watch more videos, or will look for the rankings (the links are easy to find), so: navigate a little, and that's why all the links are distributed at the TOP part of the page. I hate when people put links that you have to scroll down like 2 pages to find what you want. Ok, that being said, let's move on. Personally, I think it will be hard to fit that slide show or something plus the logo plus the informative box all at the same time. You can't take the logo out, and that box is awesome for giving fast info about important things, so you can't take that out either. Putting the box underneath the logo, you would be taking a very big space. And unless you use a huge resolution, people will barely be able to see the latest news. I'm on a 1200x800 right now and just by imagining that, I can see that the "top" part would take more than half of the screen, so hmm no. And, well, it's not THAT mportant. I mean, those are cool pictures, meetings are important in many ways, thinking about the-elite as a whole (and not just the fun with friends part, which is the best anyway). It shows a little bit more of "what we are", I mean like the faces and etc, and random people looking the pics might get motivated to see that we're all normal (in a certain way), and we have fun playing videogames etc, so YES you guys should get many pics/videos of meetings and upload them all, it's awesome. BUT, it shouldn't be on the place of something more important to the site itself. If you manage to fit that somewhere without changing the logo, the box and the links being on the top of the page (and not scrolled down), it'd be awesome, really. A better idea might be using some of those pics on a dynamic logo. Like, there would be like a "template" with a Jo, a Bond and "the-elite blabla". And then, as a background or something like that, different pics of many types. Like that 20-19-19-19 one, or an endscreen of a world record, a screenshot of something nice happenning on a run, stuff like that. But NOT just pictures of dudes, because only a few selected people will understand it. And that's not why Derek is working on the new site, making it way more informative and easy for unknown people to read, know what we are about etc. I guess you get the point. Sorry for the ultra big post but I really wanted to clear some things up. |

I know you guys just revamped the site. I'm having this ephany right now. Next time around why not set up the site like how the end misson objective page
looks like. Have the aim cursor as the arrow on the site. Things like that. Maybe have a scroll of pictures for all the elite players like the mutliplayer
scroll in the game.(If you highlight an elite player with the "aim cursor" it would have their bio in it for that person. Just far out ideas but im
sure its possible. Maybe people wont like this but hopefully ya'll get the idea im pitching for next time around. Site looks great non the less.
ciao Sterling also implementing all the sounds like in the video game, for example switching pages forward and back making that same sound somehow like the game... Have a page Just like the levels in the game page showing dam through egyptian. When they click on a level they can view everyones time and videos should be linked to everyones time that has a video, direct link to youtube. None of this side markings of videos, have a direct link to youtube under say the bunker mission for Eise Smits time of say :26 on agent. His "time" or "name" should have a hyper link to youtube video of him. (under the time part for everyone's time) As far as the sounds go on the page, you can have an option to turn off and on but what about having the same sound as the level your playing when you click into a level? Obviously when you are just messing around "outside" of a level before going into one in the game you have the standard sound like in the game. When you click into Aztec it would play that wav when looking at the aztec times page. Every other stage accordingly. ( I think everyone gets the idea of what im going for here) Also of course have a section of videos after say cheats on the main first page being 4. I think cheats was 3. in the game. This is all ideas and im sure we can all add to this...everyone should get the idea...=) The main page can have the jb picture in the top left, our saying in the middle of whatever for objective and then pd profile picture on the right. Also there are tabs on the right of the page I believe like in the game, here people can go to forums, elite hall, donations etc..all down the right side (bookmark like in the game)

yeah I said that once, would be awesome. But it's kinda hard to do I guess, so ;/ |

I'm sure everyone has had this idea once or so down the line, not just that greg but the whole set up similiar to what im saying. I'll have to get up
with derek and maybe we can work on it for next year or something.
I know wes with the old site had that idea after I mentioned it to him but not everyone would send in proof at the time so it kinda flopped...anyhow if there is some interest maybe I can get together with derek and we can work on it sometime when I can get down to see him and he's available to work on that. |
