I'm trying to get to 1000 points but really, it is damn impossible without mass image posting.

I just did an edited which removed several pictures(they were just dumped there), added the cast list with a description for each person and added the Overview title.
All of that for 1 stinking point? I know it wasn't a huge edit but come on, why is the point counting so random? I can post a picture for AT LEAST 1 point, most times more, or edit that and get the same? What?

Also, the other thing was I posted the cast list for Red Alert 3(like I did with Kane's Wrath) and it was rejected because "they are meant to go in credits" but shouldn't FMV characters be different to just developers? There characters(some which are playable) with details that I added too.  Can't I add them to the main page?

Why even go in this thread if you don't like the site? No wonder you have 2,537 posts.

And yes, it is down."
You are way off if you believe that. God, gotta love the people who need to make insults to make themselves feel better."
How was that an insult? Also for that matter, how would it make me feel better? Or is it just one of those comments like "You must be a little kid" where it makes no sense but the person tries to act "cool" and "own" someone?

Oh ok. Never mind then. :)

Although I think they should be cut back a bit. Most of them are the same thing with a slightly different position.

There from the beta and I'm pretty sure posting screen shots is against the NDA. I might be wrong but seeing as most other beta's don't let you do it and it isn't an open beta, only to those who bought Kane's Wrath, so I'd think its the same.

I think pretty much any gameplay image with the UI is from the beta.

Also for the fact most of the images are pretty much identical...

"Oh, well - they are technically different pictures.

Hell, it's the GB staff paying for the space to host it.... if they don't have a problem hosting 'em I don't see the big deal.

Maybe the dude is just a hardcore C&C fan."
It's the people who moderate the images. The staff might not even know about it.

I think if a picture has basically the same stuff on screen but the camera is slighty moved, it shouldn't be there.

"whell that means that he had to download all those pictures before hand
its not like he didnt do anything for it"
Yeah but I've uploaded tons of pictures too. I stick it in the gallery though where they should be and only get like 1-3 points per pic. He stuck them all on the page where they aren't mean to go(except a few to make it look nicer) and got 2000.

If I just added 100 Oddworld pictures to the Oddworld page I'd have 3000 points easily.

"dudewhat" got 2,299 points for that page even though there is basically only 1 paragraph. Instead of putting the pictures into different galleries he's just typed 1 thing and posted tons of pictures of the main page giving his tons of extra points. He's also done it with several other C&C pages where he's only had a paragraph or 2 then added 6-10 pictures giving him over 100 points for those pages.

Wouldn't that be counted as points cheating? I mean I could easily uploaded tons of pictures and get 2000 points if I did that to any page.


EDIT: I'm not saying uploading pictures is cheating. I'm saying sticking a whole bunch without any reason on the main page to get a lot more points.

Yes it is. That's why they stay up.
