wtfosaurus 30 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Hey guys,I'm putting together a forum (and eventually website) for DayZ players, like myself and I have the forum up and running now and was wondering if there would be interest from any of the server admins for me to host a specific sub-forum for their server(s) & communities.If this is something you'd be interested in, you can either pm myself or post a thread on the server forum request on www.survivedayz.comHopefully this would give you more of a connection with the player base that is playing on your server that you are hosting!Thanks again!

Gogster (DayZ) 626 Posted August 1, 2012 I'm sorry to say - I would prefer to use these forums and hope the admins of these forums could create individual or country based forums for servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtfosaurus 30 Posted August 1, 2012 Yeah that WOULD be preferable. unfortunately at this time it's not happening so I took it upon myself to do something about it. :) I don't expect every server admin to want to do this, but for the ones that do I think it could be a successful alternative!

wtfosaurus 30 Posted August 1, 2012 I don't know why - takes 2 minutes to create a new forum in IPB.yeah it doesn't take very long, I'm surprised it hasn't been done already. Why I went ahead and did it myself :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrispowdrill@yahoo.co.uk 10 Posted August 1, 2012 Dont most clans already have a website? Then they just tell people there website domain in the motd so if players have a problem they can just go straight to the server owners forum and ask. Why would you want a middle man? Sorry but hope you see where im coming from.Good luck with it tho :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zKryT 2 Posted August 1, 2012 As someone who is not in a clan but still hosts 3 servers, I can see this as a useful thing. Sign me up, I think its a great idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry but hope you see where im coming from.Good luck with it tho :)Yeah some do, but not all of them do. Also, not all servers are hosted by clans, many are hosted by individuals. I figure if I can provide the grounds for the server admins to interact with their player base more efficiently it will hopefully create a closer community on their servers! The benefit being easy navigation and a closer DayZ community feel than if they were to just post their server information here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eden.eustice@gmail.com 46 Posted August 3, 2012 Hey, I posted a thread for DE 188 on the server forum here but churn sent it off the register fast.I also have my own forum advertised on our server and here but again little traffic.Would love to see a dedicated section for individual servers but until then sure i'll sign up to your site if it helps.It won't let me register though oddly, says I'm a spammer which I find offensive! no idea why as I've certainly never been on those forums or spammed anywhere =/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leadz 14 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) I would be interested in this. I run a community network myself, and plan to generate traffic of dayz players that use our resources for other helpful external resources such as your site. Also, it would be a good idea if you can specify the specs for each server unless you've already done that. It would be helpful for people to know what they're getting into before actually going in game to join. Can you load live stats of the server without actually joining the game to find out about ping, how many players, location, etc directly onto the website?

As for the live stats of each server, I will look into the live stats and see if its possible for us to implement as many players would find this extremely helpful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leadz 14 Posted August 3, 2012 Good answers. Count me in. We will discuss the details in a private message.The website stats would be a great idea for your forum. It should pull the data and display the output onto the website with the details of the in-game action or even the fact of just knowing general information on the site without going in-game.Well its a forum, so if you wanted to create a sticky or announcement within the sub-forum of your server then yes, it is possible to post all of those things.
