The New Website

I had the same actually, but you can see the blue lines quite easily.

yeah, no problem, i'm just testing some buttons,
the blue ones are a standard set included with another color scheme,
i just tried them to see what the result would be,
i myself also think they aren't 'blue' enough to notice,
so i'll change them later on, no problem

That's cool

there you go,
i've updated some of the graphics,
will do some more about the whole thing when i'm having the time for it...

I like it

So long as we live. ;P

I've added a banner update in the first post, and there might be some other thing i will change about the design...

So, from what I gather, this new site is going to be something like Metal Archives.

Now, here's the question I have: what will this site have that Metal Archives doesn't?

If you need another review person, I can do some.

It won't be anything like MA,
Of course as mosts sites we will have a news section (updated daily),
there will be room for reviews written by the mmfe members,
we will promote unsigned bands and offer promo stuff from record labels,
i'm also thinking about divinding the website based on geography, so there will be a belgian part, a dutch part, an american part...
for each part we will try to keep track of concerts in that country and write reviews about them, including a picture gallery.

i'm not sure how the separation will go, i'm thinking about making the website bilangual, dutch and english...

anyway, i think we have some good things to offer so we won't be just another MA rip off...

I thought of something we could add...

I frequent the www.ultimate-guitar.com forums, and they added user profiles to their website a while ago. Basically, Ultimate Guitar, besides being a site for tabs and music forums, now also doubles as a Myspace for guitarists/bassists.

So, if we have the ability, maybe we could implement a social networking feature, kinda like Myspace or Facebook for metal fans.

That's a very nice idea, but keep in mind, that a good social networking system involves a shitload of coding and bandwidth...

I realize that. So if it happens, it would probably happen after the site has grown some.

Yeah... Would be pretty cool, though.

i have a question regarding news posting - will we post them ourselves, or should we send them to you, Disq?

you will be able to post them yourself,
we are programming that system atm

The news posts will be subject to review, right? Because if anyone can just post anything, the news section will be chaos.

news posts will be added by a team of members with time and dedication... so, i will select a team which will have the possibility to use a system for posting news posts... the reviews on the website will be posted by my, after loke controlled them on this forum... but we are also working on a system for that... we still are deciding which things to include

I'm lazy. Not had time recently. I'll get 'em done as soon as i have the ability.

How's it coming?

what's up with the website?

Haaaaaarrrryyyy. Where did you go?
