w00t
already registered bitches

zate, I'm still working on a design I like. I don't have too much free time to make something just yet, but its coming.

[Zate]

np i'll go with what I got right now..if someone wanted to make a betterheader that would be cool too.

Will have 4 or 5 diff skins up soon as I stop making template modifications from adding mods.

[Graves]

Nice. Joined. Should do a rotating header like TR/TF but use different pictures from games. And it needs a TG icon for firefox lol.

[truffle_shuffle!]

awesome!!!! need a apple mod???

[Zate]

yeah i was thinking of a rotating header.

I have different styles so far like PS3/Xbox/Nintendo and PC with diff icons for showing new posts etc.. and new colors. PS3 is a light blue, Xbox is xbox green and Nintendo is red .. PC is yellow(much like it is now).

Icon is a good idea too.

[truffle_shuffle!]

Zate this is awesome..

[Brian]

Joined, awesome site.

Signed up about 1:30 today and then couldn't get to anything at the time of this post. I'll go back and read some more stuff when I get a chance. I hope the site gets used, seems great.

[Signedx]

Signed up myself, will check it out more later.


*edit* Do you have a script thats pulling news from the main websites, ie. Ken Kutaragi, Mario, etc. If so thats pretty cool feature.

[Clint]

Sweet :)

[skitzofreek]

Registered as well looks good. I would be happy to be a mod.

[P057]

Zate, I mean no offense, but can we fix the servers we have now before we start overloading them more? Unless this is on a completely different box with a separate connection..

I mean, when I got on just 2 minutes ago, it took half a minute until the main page loaded.

Are you guys upgrading the servers/connections anytime soon?

[Derek]

How exactly does the gxboxlive feature work. I see that there is only one person on the list (Graves), how would i get my name and gamer tag up there. Would love to play some people from tampa on live.

[Treysdad]

Hahaha I like the Old School color thing :lol:

I'm lookin at that too, got a hunch it might be DNS related and why it only affects some people. Will be doing a change tonight that might fix it. Its hosted on the same servers but they are not overloaded.

go here --> http://www.tampagamers.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile and enter your xboxlive gamertag down the bottom there. Dont mind the other stuff that will be getting removed to another separate page.

[Zate]

Hahaha I like the Old School color thing :lol:

lol.. get in now jimmy and you too can be TG OG !

when you have a certain number of posts/time/reputation it will promote you to Old School .. lol

Registered....

Can we get a better Res over there, or some layout changes, the massive side scroll on every page sucks.

[P057]

side scroll? I didn't experience any.

Thanks for the reply Zate.

DNS related? Meh, I just think if you browse the site as much as I do, you're bound to experience it sooner or later. It happens here at my buddy's place, at my place, my sprint card, @ work, and at my chiller plant. All completely different connections, so I dunno...

Just seems to be a congestion that causes the connection to hiccup, that or the ISP you're using.

yeah i gotta fix that.. its related to the side stuff.. i might just disable it on the threadview template.

[ITPete]

I'll check mine again in the morning, but I entered my gamertag when I registered earlier and I am not listed there. I went ahead and went to the page and entered/saved it again, so I'll check it in the morning.

Also, I don't know if you have the ability to do it, but maybe a calendar where we could organize specific game nights and have a schedule up. This might make it easier to organize group games online.

[Chrolle]

.

For people who run anything less than 1280, you will get side scroll. Alot of people use 1024, well, i would say a TON of people still use 1024 which will cause you to have the side scroll issue I spoke of earlier.

[Zate]

not 100% fixed but shuld help for now.

calendar is there, I removed the link.. let me re-add it.

[Zate]

oh.. and i need a 728x90 Banner designed if anyone is up for it.. :)

[evelmunkey]

Just registered....I think it looks good!

[Treysdad]

lol.. get in now jimmy and you too can be TG OG !

when you have a certain number of posts/time/reputation it will promote you to Old School .. lol


Oh I signed up. I figured the site could use the traffic and plus, the arcade will gets its use with Trey. I'll even click on some links/ads if you want me to.

[SSpiro]

Woot

[kober]

Good job Zate! hopefully this site will be more active then T&G. Do you need a mod? If so let me know, I'm always on those types of forums.

[OMGVTEC]

Site has been updated with just a few additional features, and ive added a WoW section in your profiles

[Chris RX-7]

Looks cool. Signed up, let me know if you need mod in the xbox/oldschool section.

[vertigo]

I was mildly dissapointed when I read that the post was made almost a year ago and still no user integration :[ Don't use symbolic linked tables like what was partially used on the TF / TR integration. I found out the hard way what happends when you do that (caching / disk flushing problems) :lol:

[klept0]

someone needs to get on the ball with this so we all got somewhere to go - I will assist as needed - I dont know if I have 110% worth of time to helm it but if someone wants to split the responsibility then lets get it rollin
