Hi all, this is my first blog post on this site.
I'm a writer for the rather excellent GMTech Magazine (imo anyway) and for my first article I did a comparison of Snow Moon to this very website site you're looking at now, 64 Digits. When I first started I had no experience of either site but I've enjoyed my time here, and 64Digits is now firmly bookmarked in my…erm…bookmarks folder and I try to visit here every couple of days to see what's going on. The article has appeared in the just released issue 11.Here's a quick extract from it:
Quote: Snow Moon vs 64Digits (Page 11)
Blogging is the main outlet for the community at 64Digits and itcreates very active users, many blogs even getting a total ofover 10,000 hits. 64Digits does a good job of making you alwaysfeeling connected, active user lists, favourite user lists,and badges add to the sense of community. Snow Moon hasall these features too, with currently less than 100 membersit can feel a bit empty at times, but the members are generallyfriendly and fun. It also includes a nifty dynamic active userlist that updates in real-time. During my time at 64Digits I onlycame across ‘flaming’ or abusive comments a couple of times,which is only to be expected on any website this big but theoverall atmosphere was cheerful and welcoming.
I'd like a special thanks to go to Phazon Yoshi, DFortun8, and Firestormx for their willingness give me their opinion of this site.I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to tell me what you think of it…
Hey Timoi. First comment :P
Read the article, it's really interesting. Glad you've decided to stay at 64digits.^_^
I still agree with my comment, but I think you should have xpanded on why the whole disaster thing was happening, what with the decom… oh yeah, the GMC reads it, doesn't it, you couldn't really put that. Best you could have done, then, I suppose. Woo, I was quoted ^_^You bastards, Teleka was supposed to be in that issue!
Thanks ESA, I'm going to keep my eye on Snow Moon to as there's a new version coming out soon.
I didn't want to concentrate too much on the disaster or whatever happened because as I said, it cleared up quickly and I didn't want to linger on what had happened in the pastTeleka? Is that a game of yours you've submitted for review or preview in the mag?[Insert flame about Timoi's mother's second cousin's dog's pet rock's drinking habits, lack of intelligence and unwillingness to get a job here]
They already released it? Whoa, I didn't even know that yet.
Me likes the new style of GMT, but the front page never seems to fit at the rest of the layout/style… Anyway, nice articles this time :)
@Obelisk: If you had read the file, you would have seen that Teleka is on the front page of the next issue…heh, the only thing is that some of us have 24,000 hits or more XD
