Awwwww man , someone just asked the question I've been dreading the most......

*sigh*

My original hopes were that things would get less hectic and level out as time goes by, but seeing how you guys really took to some of my and your ideas, I'll put a limit of 15. If you've already recommended content GREAT! But I'm going to have to ask you to maybe stop and seeing how things go latter.

Maybe if you get more than 15 nominations you could rotate them or something? I don't know.

Wiki articles can only be nominated by uninvolved individuals, but I like you so I'll break the rules and nominate you myself.

We try to change them every couple of days. Just check the homepage to see if we've added a new one, or Kush will likely pop in here to let everyone know :)

I think you're doing pretty well. Activity in this thread has, unfortunately, died down, though.

@ZombiePie: I usually go about changing the featured user review every 3 days. If a review goes up on the 8th....you can expect to see a new review go live on the 11th (and so on).

Yeah, it's pretty rad. New episode with a very special GB Staffer in the nera future. Systech just needs to finish editing the end!"
You guys should put it on iTunes."
We're going to get that going when I finish editing our most recent epsiode. The thing is that iTunes asks for an RSS Feed of the podcast and that involves paying for hosting plus the time it takes to get approved, but I'm sure that's only a day or two. Episode 2 should be up on iTunes by Monday, hopefully.

How about promoting both just this once since there was some confusion on our end?

That way both get a little extra exposure, more so for the featured review that was barely up for a day or so.

I'm just throwing this out there:


I'm working like crazy on the BattleForge wiki page.  Why?  Well, not only because I really want to reach 5,000 points finally, but also because I've found that a LOT of people have a LOT of questions about the game, and it's hard to find many answers.  I'm hoping that the wiki page will be able to answer all of that shit once and for all.

So if any of you fools have thought about checking the game out but aren't sure what it's all about, hit that wiki up!!!

Xaus' review of Freelancer is the new featured user review.

Perhaps these are being rotated around a bit too quickly?

I'd personally say no. They are not. I like them being rotated at the speed they are, though I think there should be perhaps 3 at a time or something on the front page, so bringing in a new one doesn't mean people can't see the old one.

EDIT: Thought you'd like to know that Altered Confusion is now at episode 11.

I know what you mean. It always seems like the featured reviews are only up for a day or so, but then I look at the table and it's been pretty consistent. One time we had a review get taken down for some unknown reason, but that's bound to happen when you have about 20 people who have the capability of doing so. Kush has been the one doing most of the work with this feature.

I have a suggestion for you, perhaps you could keep track of some of those legendary topics, like this one. Oh, and you can't forget this one either.

That's a cool idea. I have a tonne of threads bookmarked to keep track of them. I'll post them here so if ZombiePie decides to go with this idea he has a list of possible candidates (and if he doesn't people can still marvel at their glory in this post). I'll mention that they are varying degrees of legendaryness, some of them aren't that legendary, and are just things I personally found funny or entertaining, but I'll post them anyway to let peope come up with their own conclusions of their epicness:

I posted all of those so you could narrow them down to the best ones, I'm useless at doing that sort of thing. I've managed to get it down to my favourite 6. I can't narrow it down any further.
