why can't we tie everything into 1911 much like ESEA's website?
Might be a lot of work but def worth it in the long run.

Re: new TPG webdesign
I agree.. It would be nice to have everything in one place. Obviously, the league name would change to 1911 also which I doubt anyone has a problem with. Like you said, it could take a while with all the testing that has to go on to make sure the league part is bug free.seanality wrote:why can't we tie everything into 1911 much like ESEA's website?

Re: new TPG webdesign
Personally I think they need to remain two different entities. First, it would take an enormous amount of work, and we know people have lives outside of this. Secondly, I'd hate to see any type of "politics" go awry, and we end up with a huge cluster. There are so many more reasons that this could end badly. League site and the forums need to remain separate.

Re: new TPG webdesign
php is entirely too dumb for me to put up with in my off time, so that means they're gonna be separate

Re: new TPG webdesign
DoD in 2012 (almost 2013) doesn't need an ESEA type framework. If we had wanted to build our own esea/gotfrag type site, I would have skipped phpbb all together, and built something like the team fortress guys have in teamfortress.tv (also ruby on rails), in addition to a league component, but that was never my intention.
1911 has already grown far beyond what I ever expected it to, or wanted it to even, as my intention was just to have a throwback phpbb forum for us to use in lieu of the desserted gotfrag. It's supposed to be a little ghetto and ironic, and a throwback to the old school phpbb forum we loved (and loved to hate), we aren't supposed to be taking this too seriously.
We've flirted with starting a different league before. Ricky and I could have a new version of STA or something up and running without much more effort, but it just doesn't make sense for our community right now. People are so used to using TPG, and the time/effort/resources needed to launch a new league is totally overkill for us. It would be nice to run some cash prized "donate to play" short-season tournaments in partnership with TPG though, which is something I'm still quite interested in.
However, it is fair to say that the communities acces to the TPG side of things could be greatly improved. Like I said, I offered to take on re-designing the front-end of the TPG site over a year ago, and was flatly denied.

Re: new TPG webdesign
I have no qualms about investing more time than I should to make a new league site, because I'd only do it as an excuse to learn Ruby. Whether it ever gets used or even finished is like lolwatever to me.

Re: new TPG webdesign
Oh yeah total rip off, but is nicely done, and the the ruby on rails backend is really fast.
