Site Development Plans?

[Bill]

Well guys, what do you want added next to this site?

Vote in the poll and add a comment underneath if you like, or a suggestion if you think of somthing that is not listed.

Im just after an idea of what people are interested in so no promises that what wins the vote will be implemented next.

[Souse]

a gallery, tourney results and rewiews would be awesome

[Disco]

what about the top 4?

[TRENT]

Sounds like a plan, all of the above would be awsome.

[Deadeye]

oh dont be lazy bill do all of them now get to it snap snap:lol:

[Hardcore]

Picture gallery and tourney database.

[noduff]

How about a field rating?
To be objective a standard list of criterias could be developed (ie Safety, quality of facilities fields etc)
Each field could then gain a rating. This would help raise the quality of fields in Australia as fields stive to get the best rating.
Food for thought

Picture Gallery and a results database would be great Bill... :thumbsup:

[Electrofunkster]

But still the gallery would be nice :yes:

[AGGS]

Yeah a pic gallery would be awesome, but the bandwidth, oh the bandwidth...

Id love a review section, that way we could see the opinions of actual aussie players and not manufacturers like on PB review

[bunkerboy]

...or HK wannabe's who think they know all there is to know about paintball gear, or 14 year olds with 20 years of paintballing experience under their belts.... :rolleyes:

[AGGS]

Even better, seeing 10 after 10 after 10 for reviews :thumbsdow

[AGGS]

Taken away so swiftly by the evil, evil mods :cry: :cry:

I did consider a rating system in the past but knocked it on the head because of the difficulty in consistantly rating fields for safety and quality accross the country unless the same person visited each one.
If I could find a reliable way of doing this I would do it.

However, I could expand the directory database so that various extras can be added to listings, such as number of fields, type of fields, marker types, proper toilets, walkon or bookings only, air available, showers, canteen,location map etc.
Possibly even downloadable brochures.
Would this be worthwhile?

Bandwith would be bugger all in comparison.
I could lock it down to logged in members if it ever became an issue.

There has actually been a gallery here for a couple of months, but its unreleased untill I sort out a couple of permission issues.

I will bump this to the top of the list since it seems to be the most popular want.

Are people prepared to supply reviews?
I dont have the time or resources to do so myself.

YES, it would.
I would love to see reviews and a picture gallery too... :thumbsup:

A reviews page wouldn't REALLY be that hard to get up would it?

[Bill]

Probably not.

There are plenty of scripts floating round, shouldant be too hard to modify one to do what I want.

[BIG ROB]

I'd thow my 2 cents woth in on products Ive used and owned. And I think Jammie has used just about every marker that has been released on the market in the last 5 to 10 years.

[Jamie_Cracker]

I do try rob

[roo boy]

Streamin media would be nice bill especially when people can add graphics 2 the forum.

I think an objective (non Subjective) rating system would remove the need to have one person audit every field.
For example the field operator would supply documented or photographic evidence of the following (After all it would be in their interest to have their field rated highly)
Public Liability insurance, Range licence, Number of fields, Type of fields, Marker types, Goggle Types, Proper toilets, Walk-on or bookings only, Air available, Showers, Canteen, Location map, BBQ Facilities, Web Site, Training system for refs Etc etc

Each of the above could be rated on weighted scale to give an overall result.
As the results would be posted publicly any one stretching the truth would be easily found out

What do you think?

[BIG ROB]

It could be woth a look at, BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOUT :lol:

[noduff]

Apologies Big Rob
(Still learning the protocol)

Not 1 page on Bills can be safe from turning into spam fest.

[Knackers]

Only chance of that would be .........Ban everyone!

[HAYDEN]
