    I've been fiddling with the XenPorta backend which servers as our "portal" homepage aggregating content from the forums into one neatly packed, public facing front end. Problem is, it's not very feature rich and doesn't give us the punch in the face homepage we're looking for.

    For that reason I'll be getting us back onto the Wordpress platform where we can really do something special. Crazy and I will be working on getting some content put together for the launch but I wanted to open the door to anyone who wants to help out.

    We'll need:

    • Site Testers
    • News Writers
    • Someone to lead up a Tactics section (doesn't have to be updated often)
    • Ideas for a Videos section.
    I'm interested in hearing what anyone else may be interested in seeing.
    Speak up now :)

    This is promising! :D

    I've narrowed it down to a layout that is going to give us everything we need.

    Review System, Image Sliders, Crazy Shortcodes, Comments feed, social embedded'ness, TONS more.

    More updates later tonight.

    I'm open for whatever. It's just I'm really focusing on school coming up in February and getting my classes, which is going to take some serious persistence in these coming weeks seeing as everything is god damn full already. I'm gonna have to sweet talk some teachers or work some kind of magic.

    New site is up. Still LOTS to be done. I'll be reaching out for help over the next few days. Looking for news writers.

    Hardware.
    General gaming news.
    BF3 News.

    Thanks!

    Hardware is a possiblity for me as I follow it anyways. I might also work on some guides for things - maybe on making videos.
