Community Page Mock-Up

That would be fricking awesome. It would make finding Bombing Runs and  good blogs so much easier. Also, Levio is User of the Forever, not just the week.

I like the User of the Week. lol

Not bad. Not bad at all.

I like the calendar, too. Just noticed it.

"I like the User of the Week. lol"

Awww bless! you even added levios :D

User of the Week is funny!!!

Wait a minute. Hold the phone.
Did you take Snider's mock up and use it to create a mock up of a community page?
THAT'S AMAZING! YOU'RE THE BEST BOMBER EVER, Bru!
Three cheers for Irn Bru!

Nice. I like it.

Wow this is great! And I got that the eyes were spotlights, very cute :P.

So I'm guessing your idea is to have the page updated by moderators? Because I know the reason why users are doing the community is a threat article now is because the staff doesn't have time to pick out the community stuff. Also I know that you were probably just copying what was on the activity feed already when you put it in there, but I think having the forum posts be updated is sort of pointless since you could just go the the newest topics forum. Maybe if there was a way to choose which threads update on that page it'd be better. Great work though and the calendar/user of the week is a great idea :).

Lookin damn good.

I like, I like.

Nice work. The community specific forum seems great aswell.

The only potential problem i can see is that the separation of community stuff may lead to some people missing it altogether. Like it might be confined to a smaller section of the users, as opposed to keeping stuff on the main boards where people will always see it and may get more people involved. Still, i imagine topics will keep appearing in the 'newest topics' board, so it doesn't matter too much.

<3 my Irn Bru :)

Great stuff and I would really love to see a community page for this sort of thing where users can contact Mods to get stuff added to the calendar for events and such like. Really like seeing the user of the week thing aswell. Great stuff Bru !

Looks pretty nice...I also love the User of the Week.

I suppose the biggest problem with doing that though it would cause a lot of resentment in those who never get selected as User of the Week. I'm not looking forward to the "Why wasn't I picked?" threads.

Levio never encouraged anyone to buy Mount & Blade. He tried but he caused people not to buy it.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

This would be great if I wasn't mentioned in the picture -- take me off of it. Or do something!

Looks really good, hopefully we get to see this soon. :)

Im looking forward to modifying my profile to be as impractical as possible!

You're bothered with having a top spot? To be honest, I'd love to have a feature where you can turn off showing up on top forum posters. Maybe you should pitch the idea to someone. :P

Indeed. By not being on the main boards, i just meant general discussion and the like, rather than being excluded from the column of boards altogether. Some people might stick to a couple of boards and  may rarely bother to access the community board. But like I said before, the 'newest topics' board negates the problem somewhat.

I'm only considering this from the perspective that back on gamespot i've never really accessed the 'community' tab, though the integration with the forums on here would make it much easier, not to mention the stronger community vibe makes me want to access all that good stuff in the first place.

That looks awesome...and the user of the week! Moon would be proud.

Wow that's really awesome, and the fact that my name appears twice makes it even more awesome. +1, i like it a lot.

Change the spotlights to laser beams and I'm sold!  Looks amazing.

Sweet. Great job Bru.

Very nice design and layout man, love the calender idea, and the user of the week is the perfect pick.

That's actually really cool. Good job Brukaoru!
Especially Levio.
