i tried to add my you tube channel but it asked me to give my email adress nd so forth and i am very reluctant in doing that for an unknown site which is a shame , maybe this can be sorted and the person deling with it push the thread alittle more. I agree with it being a good thing for trials and bring tc together.
maybe its also not getting enough people wanting to opt to be a personson choosing the tracks. I dont have the time with making tracks and personelly dont think my skill level is good enough.
i would do but i don't see how to do it on that page, i always guessed it's just a preview..Originally Posted by DJ_2wItchY Go to original post
Yeah I think I remember the author for that site saying it was a project for school but it has so much potential to be the "go to" place for builders AND people who like playing custom tracks. it seems to me that if it had a lot more time put in to it and made easy for people to put their tracks on easily this could be the TrialsHD.net that was made by the community for TrialsHD and that was a very successful site for that time. Obviously if you can't put your tracks on the site then thats a huge bottleneck right there that needs to be optimized.
Funk I agree people are very very reluctant to give out their E-mails and Accounts on sites that they don't trust but I think the simple solution on this site is that you don't have to. If you can just simply put your tracks up in the correct place that would be perfect. IF you do have to give E-mails and Accounts then thats another bottleneck for it not getting any recognition.
This is something (this site) that would be a dream for all players and builders of trials. Being able to get a massive list of all the greatest tracks you know of that you recommend in to one simple place it's kinda funny nobody really gives this page any looking even when given a sticky. It's the same thing Morrillo was doing and I remember loads of people being upset when morrillo stopped doing his list. All the comments I have seen about people getting annoyed with filtering through 1000's of ninja CPs and impossible stairs and yet here is a site which is potentially trying to solve this and nobody bats an eye about it... Obviously if there is things wrong with the site you could let him know on this thread like the post before me and try an push the author to want to put more time in to it.
Also surprised nobody continued for morrillo after he stopped doing his lists, Of course it would be a heck of a lot of effort so can see why to an extent.
The updating to the site was interrupted by the start of a new semester, but it was also put off because not many people were doing anything with the site. And funktastic, you can make a new email to dedicate to the site. It's run by Wordpress and administrated by myself. No one else has access to emails. I'm not sure why people didn't post tracks, especially their own, but whatever the reason, that was what deterred me from updating the website. If no one is going to use the website, I have college to worry about that is definitely a higher priority. If people start posting more tracks, then be my guest, and I'll update the site if it starts becoming more active.
The other issue is that I don't have any admins from the other consoles. I only have admins from Xbox One and PC. If people suggest tracks from other consoles, I don't have access to check if the track is worth posting. Please follow the instructions on the front page if you want to become an admin for the other consoles, so that this site can really take off in the way I hoped it would. And if you have ANY questions, feel free to email me at Elitezalba.trials@gmail.com. I will check as often as I can, but lately there haven't been any emails coming through so I've slowed down checking it. If it picks back up, I'll pick right back up with it. The upcoming effort that I will put into the site will be determined by the upcoming usage. I really hope the word spreads and people start using it, and hopefully it can become what I hoped it would.
the Problem is that People get completly anal when you try to post a link in twitch Chat. I mean, wow, a LINK!! a spawn from the devil!
most of the community doesnt check the Forum, so they dont know..
also you should make it the other way arround. let People post there tracks and immediatly see it, same with comments.
you can still moderate them, just delete everything thats inappropriate, but let it be posted in the first place.
People dont do much if their effort vanishes into thin air.
I'll try to see what settings I can change to make it easier to post, but people will still have to make a Wordpress account even if they want to comment. It's no different than most other forums, so I don't understand why some people are having such an issue with creating an account. I'll keep updating the forums with what can and can't be accomplished and we can hopefully work around any issues that arise.
And hopefully people don't keep *****ing about links in chat. The whole "no links" is really only important with the more popular Twitch channels. Swel and Danny are ants in the Twitch world, and the fact that they're worrying about harmless links in chat is just ridiculous and childish. Hopefully we can not be like that and things will all be good.
Ok, so I tweaked some settings so that anyone can freely comment anonymously, but make sure to keep the format correct so I can just copy and paste it when I go to post it permanently on the page. Hopefully this increases the sites usage, and helps it take off as intended. Keep in mind, that even though you can comment anonymously, in order to become an admin you still have to email me personally with your information so I can invite you to become an editor. To put it into perspective, almost anyone whom I know, or have seen in a Twitch stream, will become an editor. I trust most of the people in this awesome community, and hopefully this only grows it further! Enjoy the site guys!
Zalba i tak eit you are reffereing to me not wanting to create radom email accounts.
I for one like to keep my accounts to a minimal instead of having multiple accounts here there and everywhere , this cuts down on me having to store the information within a written context as i do not remember emails , passwords and so forth. As for making them for sites like redlynx there is a whole different approach and security level. This attitude of just creating random emails and accounts is without question why so many perople are targeted by con artists and scams and so forth on the internet. There is nothing wrong with being careful especially on the internet and i for one would suggest that people hold this attitude all the time.
Making just an email for some site can within its self give so many indication about that person , usually most use the same words within the emails that they tend to use for email accounts of very importance. My son does this frequently within his time on the internet and i warn him frequently that just because you think you have created something meaningless that doesnt mean that its meaningless to con artists and criminals. People can get alot of information from a simple email even if you think its nothing , simply because its created by your self therefore represents what you spend your time doing , eating , hobbies and so forth.
Making random emails is so easily done these days on the internet and was before , making emails for sites like this one cant be avoided yet you still have a certain amount of security and know that its a known site with known contacts. You i am afraid are a complete stranger , i wouldnt trust you with my wallet so why do you think that i should trust you with information about my self ?. inwhich this case is an email. Once you have an email , it then does not take to long to get to notice common words within communication that a person uses in which many cases are also used as passwords in some form.
Im sorry i am alittle held back at just simply making 500 email accounts , in which most cant even remember thier passwords or so forth , thats just the way i am and most likely proberbly why i have never been ripped off in this context or had anything happen within or through my emails or online. Not wanting to make an email is a simple security step nothing else so i am unsure as to why you cant understand this.
There is one thing that tells me that i am correct within my way of thinking and thats the fact that you make an online name within places like these , this is what represents you. If it was so fine in gviing your email adress out to people you dont know and with no credability then there would be no need to make online id's and where my name says funktastic it would simply have my email address.
Not making an email address is a "choice" that was the issue with it and that choice was not available beforeand it wasnt really an issue it just stopped me from taking part
Well I updated the site so that you don't have to fill in any information in order to comment. The only thing I need your email and wordpress username for is if you want to be an admin, which I'm going to assume you are not going to pursue. That's fine by me, but please don't hesitate to add tracks anonymously.
I hope i didnt come across as a moron zalba that wasnt my intentions and of course i will contribute to the site as i think its a great idea and an appreciated asset for fusion to even be more playableSorry i cant help with the admin but its far from what i am good at at this present time and i in some way dont really agree with the format of a single group deciding whats best for everyone but that my own opinion and you got to run the site somehow.
I hope it picks up interest quickly , not that i get many people visiting my you tube page and not got me perscribers ( only been on you tube 2 months or so ) but is there a way for my to link your site to it so people who do look at my you tube may also see your site and visit.
cheers
