What do you think of the Fan Hub?

Hello everybody!

 

It's time for some feedback

 

I've been running this site for a long time now and I would like to ask you guys what you think about the site and how I've been doing while running it.

 

Since many things changed, I also would like to ask you guys what you would like to see changed (more attention for other games?), as I will change the entire fan hub again soon to update it a bit.

Both the portal will be revamped (with a brand new and shiny CMS and theme) as the forum (with a new theme).

 

Let me know what you want to see here and I'll do my best to incorporate it!

 

One thing I can already say about the upcoming changes are:

• The portal will be changed from WordPress into a Fork CMS installation (this is, among others, to enable newsletters and much more).
  
• The new design for the portal will be heavily inspired by the Metro design language, which means there will be a bigger focus on content.
  
• The new design for the portal will be fully responsive and built on top of Foundation 4 by Zurb.
  
• The new design for the forum will probably not be designed by me (I suck at forum theming...)
  

I also want to update you guys about some changes that happened lately:

• The Spellborn Fan Hub is now running 4 months on a server that I manage myself, and with the move we've seen a huge speed increase. Have you guys noticed this and are you happy with this change?
  
• The post from 22 April 2012 on our website shall be deleted soon; as this was a paid for post (advert) which paid for all hosting costs last year, which I had to keep for a year. Since I have a fulltime job now, I can pay for the hosting bills myself (but support and donations are always welcome).
  
• The Asuracake is still coming, but it has been delayed. It takes a lot of work to make it work, and it's a lot more than I had expected. Also, Guild Wars 2 ate a lot of my time away
  
• I'm planning to do webdesign and programming professionally and will start doing this later this year (quite excited about this one).
  
• The Articles system which we launched with Ancestral (but removed later on) has been open sourced and is available for free on my Github: https://github.com/vampiretrix/Spellborn-Articles
  
• April is the unicorn month.
  

Well, I'll probably add some more tomorrow, but now it's time for me to go to bed

 

Let me know your feedback, it's very important to me!
