This is an opinion based topic; would it be worth while to start PBC again? or remake it, whatever. (This is genreally for all the people that know what it is)
-
I say go for it.
-
i say, what is it?
-
No.. dont bother =p There really isnt enough news.. and I dunno, I personaly wouldent find it very informative =] But thats me.
-
I say no, cuz 99% of PBC was just rehashed news from the offical DP site. Now if someone wants to make a different DP related site and actually provide worthwhile and different content, then that would be great.
It makes sense to have a DP website devoted to the clanning/matching community side of the game. But only if its done the right way with a regularly updated list of active clans, matching rules/guidelines, various matchclan related FAQs and guides or tutorials, match/clan related news (not rehashed official news from the DP site), etc. Maybe a college football (poll, not the BCS crap) type ranking thing for clans, so the top clans get recognition and others know who to try to take down =) You know, excrement like that.

Royal,
That sounds like a good idea, I'd be willing to put some time into making it. I just couldn't do it alone.
-
Yeah thats usually the problem. Only one person works on it and never accomplishes enough.
-
Sounds like paintball2 at the moment. ;)
-
warwulf is working on a system.. talk to him on IRC about it.
-
Well lets put something together ya lazy arses!
Any takers...?
-
Id help i just dont know any html. :)
-
I figured we can implement this idea with what jits and RB are talking about
-
Why not?
It's true there isn't a lot of news though. But there could be other sections, like a section for standard match rules a la Ferg's PBQCC, or strategy guides... map reviews....
-
Sounds like good ideas Fryth.
Everybody that has contributed to this post has had excellent ideas.
-
I like the idea of map strategy guides. Maybe you could have some downloadable demos and whatnot, too. Recam some matches? Match result screenshots? Scripts/configs? Various tutorials? There's lots of stuff that can be put up there.
-
Wait, map stratedy guides.. would that be like tips and tricks to use on a select bunch of maps?
Or would that be an explanation of how to play?
-
Could be both. Depends on if someone is motivated enough to do one.
-
Hmmm, off this topic, I'd like to help construct some solid matching guidlines.
Just point me in the right direction.
-
Thats what the dp committe is for. To try and formulate the matching/scrimming rules
-
Well then, count me in.
-
Not really rules. Just standards that hopefully everyone will follow.
-
I hold the power of the source code. Rules can be enforced. ;)
-
accually...you release the source code. we can all download the power of the source code!!!
-
I haven't downloaded any source code yet...
-
look! i used the modifiy button! learn from that Belmont...
-
Whatever, jitspoe does have superior authority over all of us.
-
well, duh. he's the only one making the game

It was also a place that did match wrap ups and kept some information. That and a page that Splats and I did sometime called Paintball News Stand. I think that would be part of getting paintball back to the way it used to run - ORGANIZED.
-
Yes I agree Razor. And PBC had its day, emphasis on "had". Most of the time there wasnt any information that wasn already on the main DP site. The clan/matching information was almost always out of date and just didnt have much on it, esp in later days. I think Krayzie and Blue eventually were running it and literally it would be months before it was updated. When you and Splats were involved, it was much better (tho not perfect, it seamed only Smurf and Blizz got any main page news) and thats where we need it to be at.
-
I think that everybody will agree upon constructing a PBC type website. However, are we going to make it a seperate page or will we incorporate it with this site?
-
i'll recam the matches!
(and hopefully get better as i go along...)
-
recam the matches? you mean like comment on them?
-
no, like...keygrip 2 them. that thing. there's a tutorial on jit's site.
