ok, im a little timid here but i was thinking. we can check a box if we want notifications about replies to posts, messages left on our game, and so forth. i would like to propose adding to that list Email notifications of new games posted on the site.

since its late, ill restate that.

i want to be notified by email whenever someone(anyone) publishes a new game.

pretty much lol. i dont see why it cant be available to everyone. maybe its something we could "unlock" with MAG points though.

the only downside of having this feature available to everyone is people may not come on too often until a new game is released. i was just thinking aloud lol.

lol, well maybe thats all the same, but it doesn't make a difference.  If they don't know if a game has been relesased the they come on find out it hasn't and log off.

i agree that he was gone for awhile. but the fact is he has still been here the longest. regardless of the # of posts you have that cant make up for the fact that he was signed up on the site way before everyone here on the forums tonight. therefore he has had the most time to spend on thinking about improvements.

I have no problem with you guys communicating directly. Sometimes "private" discussions can be much more productive for coming up with ideas.

Don't hesitate to drop me a line. I did see you emailed a few times, and I think I emailed back. Nothing wrong with that.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately not something that's going to be done anytime soon. I can explain why.

What I want to do is have a "Messaging Framework" that would notify you of various things (publish, comments, new posts, etc) the way you want to be notified. Email, Private Message, AOL Instant message (that'd be fun, eh?), etc.

This is not worthwhile doing on the current codebase (ASP/VBScript), but is something I want really do when I move to the new codebase (.NET). You may have heard me mention .NET before.

I don't have an ETA on this .NET move, but it will be sometime, since they are releasing a new version of .NET and I'd like to start using it to learn it.
