|
 |
Sry 4 caps.
You should make a remindersystem for popular games, so when they get to nforce everybody who want gets a window to their screen or, even better if they pay they would get a reminder sms to their mobile phone. I would pay 1-2€ for that sms reminder...

Why not an automated mail, saying the game or whatever is released...
Dont mess with God, he can impregnate your girlfriend/wife without taking his pants off!

Yeah, it could be like you defined how many releases before you got a mail.
For example if you choose 3, then you wouldn´t get a mail before 3 new releases were out.
Watercooled 5950X | AORUS Master X570 | Asus RTX 3090 TUF Gaming OC | 64Gb RAM | 1Tb 970 Evo Plus + 2Tb 660p | etc etc

i like the idea. but look wht just happened...people f5 the frontpage in anticipating gtsa and the site went down (well i guess that is what happened) and having extra load on the server sending all those mails could be too much...
jesus christ was a gangsta rapper. they killed him. he came back and made a platinum album.

It would have to be a pretty complex system in order to not be "spamy". Something that works off a lot of rules, number of releases, release type, daily/weekly/monthly/hourly mails, information wanted in the mails (NFO, Description, rating, comments). Then if the "based on rating" thing was implimented, it would have to consider what NFO's you would be sent, maybe only releases with a 10+ rating.. etc.. Maybe only releases from certain groups.
ERmm.. anyway.. im getting ahead of everything here I blame the spreadsheets im currently filling out for work!

Two small points though:
- Would it not stop the F5's?
- Pay per use? for a new server to handle the e-mails. maybe lol? (not sure how many people would pay for it, I personally wouldnt as I rarely if ever look at the front page, I get what I need from the forums..)
-- edit --
On top of that, there is always the RSS and IRC bots. I dunno, I think the admins provide MORE than enough for people to know when a release is out.. *shrugs* I guess im just trying to fuel idea's, even if I dont really think they're needed.

good argument. what about those people (most i guess) not willing to pay?
jesus christ was a gangsta rapper. they killed him. he came back and made a platinum album.

I voted no, because just like [sYn] mentioned, NFOrce already provides RSS and IRC bots to inform the people. I don't think that adding such an email/sms service would produce a good work/resources to service/benefit ratio.
And most people probably don't wanna pay for it I guess...

I also voted no as I don't think this type of service is needed. RSS and IRC is all I need.

djeez, this is pathetic. Nforce aint your life.
1.)Why would you need an email service?
It are just releases, i really really don't see the point in sending emails.
If you care, you go to the site.
2.)It will generate a shitload of extra data traffic

I didn't mean to pay for email notification, i meant I could pay if NForce would send a SMS. Well I use rss in my opera but it's slow sometimes (comes late)

Only if the RSS feeds are broken they don't update at all (happens sometimes after server switch or something similar, happens no more than once in a few months) otherwise rss feeds get updated every 5 minutes with the latest information.

specificly targeting certain scene releases will simply put the site into the "zone of advertising warez" right now it sits just on the edge of that zone.. Its a happy place with elves and bunnies and the sun never goes down!
