Hi guys,


Speedhaak has been on to me again about this.

We just checked and there's been 5,500 spam registrations since the place was last checked.

There's also not much content or management going on these days.


It'd be really good if someone with some spare time could perhaps keep an eye and moderate the registrations, and perhaps a few people could take rotations in providing new content every week or so.

It's a real pity SF.ie is effectively going to waste, we should try to do something with it.

I'm happy to write content for the site, Been too busy recently but now that college is over I have time on my hands again.

Promise?

We could really do with some care being taken there.

I tried to post some crap last week but i couldn't remember how to get into the admin side of things, kept winding up at ppcs blog, so someone pm me that (process) and I'll throw up something later tonight.


One other thing, I think it's best if no matter how inconsequential a post is, that it has a picture/graphic go up with it. if the site is just text it looks very dull. well imo of course.

i think we need to scrap what we have completely and come at it from a different angle.

-Forget registrations, have select few administrators that update content.
-Re do blog so its more engaging
-Finish up that small local videos site i was working on and integrate it in
-add rankings and player list
-link to chat and forms

thats it.

To reduce the spam registrations etc., you could have a look into getting a plugin for wordpress, its called 'captcha'.
You could also consider switching to a different CMS like Joomla! I'm not saying wordpress is bad but Joomla has a more professional design IMO, it also has more features.

I know you're a webby guy so you're naturally focusing on that but I really want to focus on people providing the content and taking care of the site.


No point in people putting in more work otherwise design wise, imo.

Add a poll to this and ask who actually reads the posts on sf.ie ?
I dont like the idea of anyone registering and adding content[upon approval] anyway. It dilutes it. Its seems a bit diluted and inconsistent to me right now.
I want it to be a bit like SRK, with select few people that will update it, we can add more content providers on request. [We just wont have an open registration]

Its not working the way we have it now, in my opinion.
I never look at the news on the site, i'm always coming here for it [which we shouldnt really]

Doctor DooM

You're kinda missing the point this would still need a few people to man up and do it.


The only people who seem to update there at all right now are Dreddy and Sabre, and even then pretty rarely (which isn't really their fault, there's only so often one person can do it).

Need to find people who have the will to do the work first, you know?

Ran a script to remove as many spamers as i could, apologies if anyones account was removed, i white listed as many as I could

i think were making the same point.
i just mean dont have the registration public, just have few super admins that push a new user on
anyway i dont think it matters in the end as i think we have an approval system on registrations? i.e not any yank can sign up and post porn?

Doctor DooM

Thanks knee.

I'd actually thought about writing articles for the site before, but thought that we were staying away from that for some reason :pac: I felt bad enough putting up the writeup from Tempest a couple of months back!

Should be back now, need to look into why it keeps dying recently.

No, I think if you're willing go for it.

Owwmykneecap

Site's down again.

Would it possible to get some changes made to it?
Each post is currently too large, they should be shortened with a link to expand/go to full post

Youtube embeds are currently massive too.

You should ask speedhaak yourself man- you know him better than any of us!

We should try to build up specific character content. I know it's all out there but I just think if there was an irish website doing it with irish players it would be like leaps and bounds for a community.

Street Fighter is a mind blowing game. Its a amazing to play and the man cannot be bored many time. Its 2 player be fight very well for win. But in the end someone select for the win announce by the game user. Its a very good graphical designs like original and movable controls.

No "almost" about it, as far as I'm concerned.

The physical server the site is hosted on is down for a moment. Hopefully it should be back in the next hour or so.

I'd be happy to do write-ups of any Infernos or other FG events I attend (Realistically just SF ones).

EmSixTeen

I'd be happy to keep an eye on some of those spam registrations, I notice them coming up in my Google Reader RSS for SF.ie a lot so they're definitely a bit of a problem. I'd help write things up but.. I'm a ****ter.

I'd love to help with the upkeep of streetfight.ie
