Scrub FTW!!
New name change for the site. It's going to be called The Trials Network (TheTrials.Net)
Working on a feature for you to follower you favorite track creator and a notification system of when they
1. Create a new track
2. Update the track information
3. If you posted scores and someone beat it
4. Track comments? still undecided
You would choose the options you wish to track for a specific creator, so if you only care about new tracks you can select that option and forget the rest.
I don't really like emailing notifications so for the time being I'm thinking of just placing it on the site and when you go a popup will let you know that hey something you are interested in just came up.
I will be building an android app for this in the future as well, so that way you can just get a quick glance and the info is there if you are on your xbox and are not close to a tv, you can just check the track name and creator from there.
I'm thinking about re designing the site as well, but that is a last minute thing I need to get functionality going.
This info is on the front page. Going to start keeping track of what I'm working on, what is completed and what is pending.
Site Name
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TheTrials.NET (formerly TrialsHD.net)
New Ideas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Notification System
2. Rival tracking and matching
3. Create your own tournament (just like in game tournament but with your own tracks)
4. Single elimination online tournament brackets
5. Mobile application (android)
Existing Ideas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Generate more site achievements (possibly give out rewards as well)
2. Site redesign (new look and feel)
3. Upgrade the user portal to have all the information you want to present to your friends
4. Consolidate Trials information (Secrets, Easter eggs, Track creator tips)
5. Fix the track system so you can choose between (xbox, Pc,) and (TrialsHD or Evolution)
6. Simplify Search system with new PC and Xbox parameters.
If you guys have any ideas please shout them out!
Sounds awesome, but how can you keep people honest about this? Unless you don't mean running every track in a row one after the other.Quote:

So in reality if you are using EVO you can get the info from there, if it's TrialsHD on xbox then request a pic or something.Quote:

If lets say I follow your tracks and get notified that you created a track on PC, EVO. I'll download it and race it. Now lets say I have a rival like Lespitinyourskull. I could set him as a rival and entering my score on the site would notify him of it, making him download the track and compete. So now you got two scores from friends fighting on your track.
That is kinda how I'm perceiving the changes will go. I notice tons of people post on the threads about a new track and ppl that are on the forum might or might not see it. This could leverage you presence a little bit.
The obvious pitfall is that hey you use the site but no one follows you or they don't enter scores etc...
Well these options I'm proposing are just tools for the community to have a better experience, they just need to work together.
