Website Information

[Matt]

Basicaly I thought it would be a good idea to have one thread where you could provide whatever information you would like to offer.

Suggestions
Suggestions to improve the site can be placed in the Project: Make Matt's life easier thread. All suggestions are welcome, and believe it or not I am listening to them all, and taking them into concideration.

Main Page
Is there any information you'd like to see on the main page of the TDP site? So far I have a list of the leaders and how to contact them, and basicaly a "welcome to the launch of the TDP website" speach.

Members Page
For the Members page, (essencialy a revised version of Iron's TAO phone book) theres some information on each of you, including a link to your TDP forum profile. I can link to other things, if theres anything you guys would like, and I intend to link to art portfolios. So far some links have been a picture of the person, a link to the credit page if the person was credited for helping with the site (including all full members who gave ideas), and Manolitio has his linking to his Myspace. I can also add in messenger links if any of you are interested in providing contact information. I can do it either an email/account name or a messenger symbol (green msn guy, yellow AOL guy, etc...) leading to your contact information. You can provide this info here.

Art Portfolio
If you'd like a portfolio of your art, visit the Portfolio thread. Any type of art is welcome, and any information art or artist (artist suggesting your life as an artist) related can be placed there, you don't have to follow my template, I just don't want to see a ton of images to load.

Information page
Can you think of any Information you think would be helpful? Currently on the information page I link to the pages I made entitled

• "About TDP" - giving info on how TDP is run
  
• "Join TDP" - pretty much quoting pinkie's how to join page with a little extra info
  
• "Tips" - currently linking to the TAO ToS, and providing two ways of taking an s/s. (Also I should mention how to send in a screenie of a cheater/spammer, I'll do that now)
  
• "Contact Us" - giving ways of contacting TDP leaders (currently only including PMing us)
  
• "Forum Info" - an updated version of the thread I made onthis board, basicaly forum rules, and how to get involved.
  
• "Forums Guide" - Guides written by several members, found on the Recruitment Requirements board
  
• "Credits" - crediting all the people that helped make the site, gave ideas/provided info, etc...
  

Tactics Arena Online
On the Tactics Arena Page, I give several links to TAO pages, and my own personal TAO guide, which has already helped two people. If anyone else would like to provide their own TAO tutorials/how tos/information I'd be glad to add it (I know we have a locked thread for this information, but Im thinking, why not share some? It would give people a reason to visit)

I also think if an applicant isnt quite sure if they are going to apply, we could give them a taste of the members only stuff (strategies, etc.)

Manny's Tips to Winning with TAO:
1. if you're gonna trash talk someone before the game begins DON'T LOSE
2. if they tell you that they have a geography test the next day and that they forgot the name of the country in africa that starts with the letter N, the answer is LITHUANIA
3. if they ask u to type chess expert without any spaces, type chessepxert and tell them it doesn't work
4. this is a two-parter so pay attention. if a drops takes place and the other player asks you to forfeit cuz they want the unit, u can either respond with:

• a. Matt's "I don't like cheaters, and I don't like beggars, so stop begging me to cheat."
  ...or...
  
• b. Pinkie's "HAHA NO WAY LOSER!!!1" and when u get out of game dump the unit and have ur dog piss all over the computer.
  

5. not every 750 grey is a nub. when I get bored i make the stupidest grey names and set my avatar waiting for a scrub to jump me.
6. if a gold jumps you, don't get frustrated and don't tell them to play ur gold cuz they'll only laugh at you. simply take a screenie and post it on our "Grey jumping list..."
7. and the most important of all these tips:


DON'T SUCK!!!
