I'm sure they don't want that much more traffic. They had to turn off the AAR section to reduce bandwidth.
I think that they would have to turn off more than that, doesn't Battlefront use a dedicated server for just BF 1942?Chuck said:I'm sure they don't want that much more traffic. They had to turn off the AAR section to reduce bandwidth.

Mantis pretty much summed up what I would have said. Let me give you a little bit of insight into what we are thinking about.Mantis said:Ok, here's the thing.
WFHQ would consider hosting almost any 'real' wargame, if the interest from the members-at-large warranted the creation of the section, and if we had a couple of good candidates that would make good section leaders - taking the time and effort required to keep things rolling, and the section fresh. (And by real wargames, I mean that you'll likely never see a 'Warcraft III' section, or pretty much any game that falls under the category of 'twitch-fest').
No, remember the pictures don't show up any more to save bandwidth. Obviously you can't handle a thousand new users appearing tomorrow for BF1942.Mantis said:You're talking about somewhere else?
While that was indeed part of the concern, 90% of it was actually taking pity on the members that only had dial up (At least, in regards to the AAR section, specifically), and had to load 3 megs worth of pictures to load up a long AAR thread.Chuck said:No, remember the pictures don't show up any more to save bandwidth.

Mugs are a pretty good idea too, Don. Don't know how feasible it is. But I'd love to get a mug. Especially if it could be one of those cool large sized ones, or better still, a large metal style one with the lid... Probably have to just be a very basic mug, but the idea is cool!Priest said:What about coffee mugs Don? I mean it would be barbaric to sit down and contemplate a move without a steaming cup of coffee (tea?) in your official Warfare HQ coffee mug.

This new member thanks you for a very nice site which has been of tremendous help.Don Maddox said:I guess it's that time again. We start a thread like this about once a year and let it run for a while. This is your chance to tell us what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong. Here are some topics I would like your feedback on, but feel free to post on any area you're interested in:
1. Are we covering the right wargames? What would you like to see added? What would you like to see go away? Be specific please.
2. What do you think of the ladders? Are they easy to understand? Do they present you with the information you need?
3. Website layout. Is the website easy for you to navigate? Is there enough information presented to the members to answer you questions? Does the website look good and is it easy to use?
4. The forum. The good, the bad, the ugly?
5. What would you like to see us do now that we don't do?
6. How useful do you find the misc sections of the website such as the reviews, interviews, and AARs? Is the general wargaming news of interest to you?
7. What do you think of the general environment at Warfare HQ? Are our membership rules and guidelines fair and do they make sense? Is this a friendly place?
8. What makes you come back to Warfare HQ? How can we make it better?
I wouldn't mind it per say, as long as wargames stay the focus. In fact reviews of non wargames from a wargamer would be helpful in some ways...Don Maddox said:Would you guys be interested to see reviews and news from non-wargames? We have done a little of that in the past.
Can we have a SR2010 ladder and forum?Don Maddox said:1. Are we covering the right wargames? What would you like to see added? What would you like to see go away? Be specific please.
Yes indeed this is something I am watching very closely. I can't say for sure yet, but I have been leaning in this direction for a while. Of course the game has not been released yet and I believe May is when it is predicted to his store shelves.Hellen said:Can we have a SR2010 ladder and forum?
The beta just hit the streets.
I haven't seen any fansites for this game yet, can we have one here?
Battlegoat's forums are ok, but they don't talk enough about strategy and tactics for SR2010 and they don't have a ladder either.
Is anyone else seeing this? I don't see it and I looked at those two posts. Which browser are you using?Priest said:Just noticed a problem with the new forum, there are times when the words don't wrap around to a new line they just run on. This seems to be happening when the qoute feature is used, look at posts 50 and 51 on this thread as an example of what I mean.
