GA is an entirely different concept. We wont be changing ZFGC directly, in terms of the forum. If the 'site' project we're planning fails, it will have no affect on ZFGC (the forum itself) anyway.
As of now the homepage (when i get around to it) will redirect to the forums. I just haven't had the time to fix it yet. I appologize.
I was just about to write something like that. I don't think people should be concerned and relate this change to the GA experience, because its much different. It's not like we would be changing what zfgc is, just upgrading it into what it was always meant to be. It is still zfgc, and still has the same purpose, only now it will have an extra helpfull bonus, which is the structure of a homepage. The homepage design and plans for GA was entirely different to my understanding because we were trying to be a general gaming site with reviews, and etc. that covers all gaming like some of the other sites out there (ign, gamespot, etc.) But to my understanding, that is not what we are doing here. We are merely going have a base for this community, that makes it "Zelda fan game central" with a whole bunch of resources for game making (music, tutorials, graphics, etc.) fangames (made here), news, and so forth (regarding the zfgc community and our zelda fan games)
See I don't know if your copying IGC or not, because of how well we are doing lately.....thats what a few of us over there think..(Halu, Me,Drew,etc) but if you are, say why? Because I remember some of you bad mouthing us at the begginning..
It sounds like you are under the impression we are going for a site similar to IGN or something now, like we attempted with GA because the community is strong right now and not in turmoil (like it has been for the last while). But Andrew just summed up what I was going to say about that. And that is, its not the same concept. We are not doing anything like what we were doing with project x. On top of that. zfgc has had a little homepage more then once in the past, there was never any real content on it, other then news, but it was there. Now they are just taking the concept to the next step, and giving a purpose for a front page like that to our community. It's going to be helpfull. So in regard to some other people who have reservations about it (not your post) I think people shouldn't worry so much, because its not like we are goign through a huge overhaul.
