Front Page Articles Feedback

[Phillyman]

I want the front page of Retromags to be more active, entertaining, engaging and fun. Therefore rather than just having E-day and myself add front page items, I want to open it up to the majority of our users. Therefore I am looking to remove the news items from showing up, and instead allow users to submit interesting things that they find inside of video game magazines. Here is what I am thinking of.....

1) Interesting Interviews - Maybe you found an interview in a magazine and want to share it with our community.

2) Nostalgic Adverts - Did seeing that MegaMan 3 advert make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

3) Goofs - Did you come across something that should never have been printed in a magazine?

4) Controversial Adverts - There are quite a few that we know about, maybe more that we missed?

5) Prototypes - Remember the Super NES CD addon? What about the Atari Panther?

Let me know if I am missing anything? I want to create categories for these scanned pages to be entered into. Each image will be organized into groups with similar images. This way anyone who wants to browse through all the mentions of the Super NES CD addon, or all of the Gross Adverts.....can do so.

Well that is the point

Not only should we be preserving magazines by scanning them.......but we should have some freaking fun with the scans!

It kind of falls into the Prototypes category, but one for Unreleased Games would be nice too. I've blogged about a couple of those that I've found in the pages of a magazine. Someone else out there has to be interested.

Thought I replied to this one, guess not.

We have the ability to create categories that posts will be grouped into. Not only that, but we also have the ability to put categories within other categories....sooooo.....

-Advertisements

--Controversial

--Sexist

--Gross

-Unreleased

--Hardware

--Software

So in short, we can really do some powerful stuff once I get this all set up.
