Hi. Recently I was showing my new phone to my workmate. Apparently in the browser Ambro homepage was opened. When this lad looked into that he asked: "what kinda forum is this"..
In fact he knows that I'm a hardcore CS gamer and I'm not playing any other games anymore. He is a console gamer so we quite often are discussing "gaming stuff".

He add: "we'll there is nothing said about CS"
And I must agree. For a random visitor the only clue is lil game tracker logo.

Besides on my:"we are UK top community and one of leading pub hosters in the Europe he was surprised to see forums in this way. So in a future I would <3 to see more picked up the fact that we are one of top CS communities in the Europe.

What year sn was opened? Can we use - CS 1.6 servers since 200? as Ambro took over sn, so we could use this fact.

p.s. in the business when some huge company is taking over another company (let's say a chocolate factory), new owners always leaves "since xxxx" on a product packaging even owners have changed. So Ambro is the new owner of the sn servers that are "the product". No matter if ip has been changed many times, as chocolate ingredients have changed billion times in a last hundred years.

to make a long story short : update the information giving at the top of the forum

We will be expending to other games apart from CS so I don't want to turn forums into we're cs-only.

In my eyes the theme is nice. Yes, you may not the the idea we're one of leading forces in Counter-strike gaming "industry" but still I don't think it hurts our growth / traffic by any means.

That was my feedback, as i just dont see any cs logos, only thing is as i mentioned - small logo from a gametracker bar..

A year ago it would of have a bit more CS feel with the CS board icons, but we moved on... I don't think we're going to be just CS forever.

But cs is the biggest part of us 5k cs players..

Im \_/ for new games and to become as a gaming community

I was asking for cs go server a while ago just to be one of first in UK who open it. Also other games are considered but only then it would be a business project.

Still I think that some shooter siluet in the background would be good. It would give a msg to a vistorts that here is a virtual killer comunity xD

I don't feel like limitting our possibilities by making it "FPS Only".
Pretty much any game that is "hot" right now sounds like a good deal to me.

You actually want to make a history topics strictly about the past of this community, if I understood right, yes ?

I just recently asked Renegade since he was the first guy to administer Ambrosia SN servers, he said somewhere between 2006-2007. When i joined SN they had 3 full servers already, dd2, dm and JB i think...

P o p a y · « **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2013, 10:46:03 pm »

Only 2 mate. Jailbreak and DM. Those were full. It was opened 2007, not 2006. They took over at 2010 I think and from that moment til today , ambrosia took over few more communities. Main community that we are using today is S*N , assassins.

If you read carefully i didnt said 2006, but bwtween 2006 and 2007. Thats what Renegade said atleast, he wasnt sure...

I cant remember everything, but DM SERVER was there 100%!

It would be a good idea, to set the forum on a subdomain or at least a forum directory (a...-servers.com/forum/community....), have a homepage with an intro kind of thing. Or something even better, a homepage with 'News' about the community, 'About Us' page, maybe a 'Blog' page, and a Forum link on the navigation.

I don't see a vital role in it actually Vendetta, since there is not a problem connected with it.

Any other opinions ?

Popay, we are not speaking about any problem

This section is also feedback section.
So my post is as feedback, not a suggestion or asking for support or anything else.
Sometimes ideas must be played in a forum for a while before they become approved.
Rushing moderators from time to time turn down a potential idea..
