LPT 767 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Since the front page graphic has been updated. I've tried to bring this to the attention of staff, only for the community admin to tell me, essentially it's "not his problem" because the Tech team is handling it, but here's the thing @HogoBojoit is your problem that graphic shows new people checking out the website that we're such an outdated community we use TEAMSPEAK... Not only that, as the community admin it is your job to champion issues that are important to the community. I've heard from countless players that this is an issue brought up every year and nothing happens. How can you expect a community to be passionate about improving and player retention if you can't even help with some basic issues. There is a real problem within staff right now. I understand you are all volunteers, I've twice been a GM and I know there's a lot of work that goes into running LoTC, but it doesn't change the fact that people have literally made alternative front page graphics and they were ignored. It's the front page guys... I know you understand how important a first impression is, so why do you not care about it? Enough is enough, stop passing the buck down, stop saying it's a tech team issue. Either get the ball rolling like a good community admin or admit your title is nothing more than just that. This is your problem to deal with. I will also offer my help if you want it Hogo... My complaints don't come without solutions, lets work together if you can't do it on your own. If you ignore the people that are passionate about these things there will be no passion left in the server. 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasualNuker 642 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I made these two years ago during Arcas because I got bored one night and was told by Llir then that it couldn’t be used for some reason or another. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug 1887 Share Posted July 19, 2022 it's the most obvious thing to fix to help drawing in new players, so it's embarassing it's not been updated in so long, especially with free help offered. there's a weird disdain for allowing outside help with lotc staff stuff, but this is such a simple thing for them to fix and even rejecting free player help is like, what???? and it definitely should be a responsiblity for the community admin or someone related, given ya'know, doing apps and guiding newbies on the website/in-game is their main job. it's not like the old one that's up there is particularly well-done or a masterpiece either.

Anore 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Well, I got an entire theme redesign finished to about 80% of the way before I quit Admin with all of that updated. That was over 8 months ago so not sure where that is at.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statherian 3327 Share Posted July 20, 2022 @HogoBojo @Llir since either one of you are the admins involved a reply would be nice. Ignoring this isn't going to stop anyone from asking about it and quite frankly I've yet to see a valid reason. Don't even give me a "oh why don't you do it" because it is your guys' job to. This has been bouncing between CT excuses and Tech excuses for years and just like the dynamap updates, I feel like it's laziness and not an actual excuse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so disappointed in LoTC right now, it's insane how lazy the team truly is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
