SMBhq Future

Gage LaMay · 11-10-2006, 04:13 PM

So this is basically a small thread asking one thing. And that is about SMBhq in the coming days.

To the mods:
Currently, what are you working on to benefit SMBhq or are you? Secondly do you have any plans to update the site in the next few weeks (no particular reason why three weeks.)?

To the browsers:
What are you hoping that comes to the website and do you have anything you would like to say regarding the site's current state?

Before everyone jumps to conclusions and thinks I'm lashing out against HQ in no way am I doing that! I'm just curious to know what we can be looking for. I understand, Sean, that you are pretty busy with your University studies. But what about the others?

Game Ideas
In the works, according to Eric, he is working on a new, faster, way to format game idea submissions and post them directly onto the site.

(That's all I have for now.)

Sean P Kelly · 11-10-2006, 08:00 PM

For starters, I go to school 4 days a weeks. On 3 of those 4 days I come home to late to do much of anything. I have one day off, and that's usally used to work on assignments.

That said, I'll try to so a small update (new links and stuff) on the weekend.

Seeking Attention · 11-10-2006, 08:44 PM

Oh theres the 21st Century Mario game thing thats still in progress.

Gage LaMay · 11-11-2006, 09:46 AM

Well

Would you like any help in anyway?

I'm usually available after school, but I work on homework 1st so I'd be here at my computer around 3:30-4:00 maybe.

Fridays-Sundays I'm here most of the time. :-p

Sean P Kelly · 11-11-2006, 10:16 AM

Thanks, but no thanks. Working on the site is more complicated than you think. The index page alone is made up of 6 files joined together with SSI.

Gage LaMay · 11-12-2006, 06:32 PM

Wow, gee, seems like I could only benefit if I submitted news, eh?

Sean I've been meaning to ask you, do you mind if I somehow keep a binder containing a collection of SMBhq's history and present information.

Featuring:
-Site Updates
-Headline News

This may sound kind of lame but I'm just excited to read about everything that went on with SMBhq then and now. I really hope you don't mind.

I'm also interested in these areas with TMK and Toads Castle and with their permission, I'm allowed to keep note and collect news, etc..

Of course this will only be for personal use and will not be posted on another website nor will it be distributed elsewhere. It will never leave my room in short!

Sorry if this question erks you in anyway!!

Sean P Kelly · 11-12-2006, 10:03 PM

It's a waste of paper if you ask me

Gage LaMay · 11-13-2006, 04:31 AM

Maybe. But I enjoy reading it all as weird as it may sound.

MC Luigi · 11-13-2006, 12:04 PM

^ O_o
Well, that's a waste of paper and time.

Gage LaMay · 11-13-2006, 03:30 PM

Maybe so. But I have a passion for the site's history and itself currently. Even though most of you will say it does not get updated often or it's not like it used to be.

That is indeed true but you have to figure that life for the staff members is not the same as it was for them back 7 years ago. Jobs, college classes, and basically every day life has taken away site time.

Sucks but it's happened and there is nothing anyone can do about it now.

Sean P Kelly · 11-13-2006, 07:47 PM

If Kyle (who created the site) says it's OK for you to do your fanboyish activities for the site, then fine.

But personally, I'm a little uncomfortable with with your extreme devotion to the site.

Gage LaMay · 11-14-2006, 05:45 AM

Why so?

I'm not going to like claim the site has my own or do something dangerous too it... It's not my style!

Besides, if I ever get into making a website, it'll be a fan news website which probably sucks according to most people around here:

Toad's Castle - Forum Topic: NNS

It's only an idea as of now. No confirmations yet. I asked what Kyle thought of this news website idea and he never responded.

Sean P Kelly · 11-14-2006, 08:30 AM

I'm not arguing with you about this. Do what you want. I'm closing this topic.

Perrin Aybara · 11-14-2006, 08:31 AM

I say you give him a shot and let him do something for the site. SMBHQ needs some fresh, exciting, blood. He seems interested enough, which is more than most people I've tried to hire for the site in the past.

It's not like anyone else is updating the site.-jay

Sean P Kelly · 11-14-2006, 10:38 AM

Jay, don't you have to agree that printing the entire history of the site and putting it in a binder is a little, I don't know, obssesive?

If Gage wants to help, he can submit stuff like everyone else. He's not going to get any special treatment because he is so "passionate" about the site.

EDIT: As for updating the site, I promise that there will be an update TONIGHT, or I will resign from SMBHQ

EDIT 2: OK, maybe that's a little harsh. Still, I do plan on having SOMETHING up today.

Sure, but hey, his life.

I'm not saying give him special treatment. Just to hear what he has to say (if he has any ideas) and give him a chance.-jay

Gage LaMay · 11-14-2006, 02:52 PM

I didn't think being interested in the history was bad though I guess printing the history could be extreme so I understand where you are coming from.

As for the special treatment statement, I did say I was passionate about the site BUT that was nothing relating to requesting special treatment and it is Sean's decision to allow people to become staff members. Though I did read that they will not tolerate people "begging" to go on staff. And I really do not want to make an enemy with Sean nor anyone around here for that matter!

Though, like I said, if he ever wanted something to be covered or submitted he can always let me know and I'll be willing to do it. I'm available through AIM (SNES Guy 15) if anyone would like to take this discussion any further, just Instant Message me...

GGofSSS · 12-30-2006, 01:02 AM

Well, SSS could always use another matchwriter or even better a pic-maker. Try writing one and sending it in. Just don't get... 'too' devoted if you know what I mean.

Gage LaMay · 01-29-2007, 04:26 PM

Well this topic can be closed down - if you feel it's taking up space.

But I did in fact print out all updates from 1997-2007. Yes over 50 some pages was sacrificed (no doubt more) but it's all good.

Bye to this topic.

Metal Man · 03-16-2007, 03:04 PM

Don't worry, I will ensure SMBHQ is updated myself.

But I don't have any binders full of updates ;p
