ok what i have understand about the new BYOND page is that it is mainly to attract new members with its simplicity, am i right? we also have it to show off BYOND to the new members and make it so they wanna join a cool gameing system.
If a new member joins BYOND and they look around the "confusing" (as some ppl say) BYOND games page, they will probably look at top rated game to see what BYOND is capable of. Then he will go on the first couple of gmaes that look cool. I REALLY want to name some games, but i shouldn't so I am just going to state that to attract new members we want our top games to be the best they can be. This doesnt HAVE to be code because new n00bs wont notice that, but i really do suggest good icons. Any members who wanna help the cause just put better games in liek your last place so they get something . . . . .
btw i didnt suggest all this, some is from Blairboy, jordan92rocks and pepi so plz if u hate this post dont entirly blame me .... also, i am trying to help the community after all the page after all the disses

i really didnt want to go back to talking about the ne wpage again and debating it, i just used it as an example to how BYOND is inviting new members so i could talk about how new members might not appreciate high ranked games that r bad and think that is BYOND's full potential

You have to remember these games aren't based on how good they are, but rather, how many vote-points there are for them from the BYOND Members. The rank does not represent how good the game is.

We want to attract new members by clearly communicating what the system offers. Many of our previous "explanatory" pages were rather quirky in their approach to this. For example, we talked about "keys" instead of accounts, and we left it as mostly an exercise for the reader to figure out how to get stuff downloaded and how to get their account created.
Now we put account creation in their face and we do it through the website instead of just through the BYOND client.
We're working right now on a revised approached to the games page that will hopefully help highlight quality games, and increase community interaction. We'll be posting more about this in the near future.
