Public discussion: New Website

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Hello community,

We announced few days ago that we are building a new website to serve the needs of the new XJ.

We would like to ask you, the community, to take part in the building process of it and ultimately directly influencing how the new XJ will look like.

1)One of the most important aspects of the new website will be its features. We would like to ask each and everyone of you to make a list with the features you want to see.

2)Then we have the old (current) features of this website. Which ones do you think we should implement in the new website and which not?

3)As for a more general idea, how do you envision the new website? Keep in mind that it will be the host of an unified community, having in one place all KZ mods.

4)Do you think we should go for a total rebranding (new logo, new colors) or keep and enhance the current brand?

5)We have set up a new poll regarding the new website and even though this is a gaming portal (and we all know how gaming websites look) we should consider all of our options. (please select two options out of four, basically the pair you see fit)

If you have any other ideas which are not mentioned above, please feel free to express them in the comments section bellow.

Thank you for your time!
XJ Staff

dark/minimalistic :)

10/06/2016 20:34:00

i think you should keep the logo and the colors

10/06/2016 20:36:00

Great! Looking forward to the new website Gj Ovidiu

stick with the logo, its a clean and minimalistic branding white X with a orange J. So if you see something like that you get instant reminder for xj.

Orange is a perfect colour for this community, I think you should keep it. Light/minimalist. About the features, I would like the "shortcuts" section actualized, btw I offer my help for this

1) 2) the websites features seem to bu just right as of now 3) PLEASE keep the same layout, for example 1.6/CSGO/KZmod demo releases all in the news section. 4) no new logo, just new colors for the website 5) dark theme /clean interface 6) please become the official WR page for csgo records

They kinda already are because kreedz himself gave the "rights" about being the official kz community. I remember in the past there was one thread where some people were asking "why this is the "official" community with "world" records" and the administration responded with this.

EXACTLY! KREEDZ IS CS 1.6! XJ SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHTS. LETS BRING XJ BACK TO LIFE

I want to see a minimalistic design up front but keep the less used features in a separate menu so new players don't get confused. Implement an edit comment option too for clumsy people like me. The XJ logo is almost a signature for some XJ maps and those maps will feel alienated from XJ if you choose a different name or logo(alteast for me they will!). The news section needs nothing new as I see it so keep it the same. Thank you! :3

11/06/2016 12:28:00

11/06/2016 12:56:00

Logo is amazing i think stick with the logo

11/06/2016 22:26:00

also bring back that news filter for rotws/demos/info/weekly/tournaments/maps related/banwave(:D)

12/06/2016 06:23:00

In world record releases, please include YouTube links to all the demos (unedited runs), so we don't have to download the demo files just to watch them.

keep the current branding , just make it look fresh please for the love of god , go for a pure minimalism with the site and the logo , and to satisfy more people , make both dark and light theme personally I would go for a white , orange theme to keep the soul of the original website what I wanna see the most is the chatbox , forums , nicer record list and CSGO implementation wish you all guys the best of luck with the new site , cheers !

Forget about coding a new website, we have Euros now :) Just stick to your TV as much as you can.

First of all I would like the site to look like G+ with news squares on the left and right of the page, this way I believe solves the news standing time problem as everything is at glance and news for all 3 games can have place in same space, without being compromised to get separated in different pages. And you can implement an update notifying feature to the comments, like when there's new comments in news it displays +8 next to comments number on top of news box or something. Also an update notifying corner displaying new comments/posts when you get replied. I like orange-white simple design. Also +rep button and an awarding system with different classes of reputation. Make the nick changes possible from the profile and an automated update tracking system tracking nick changes, records info, reputation and whatnot for every user. And make more use of space on the page, don't limit it so much with frame borders. Also maybe a "submit news" page to offer users to attempt their news into the front page. Please don't let the hype blow out and keep us posted on this.

13/06/2016 10:44:00

Can you add scrolling from the 1st to the 2nd > etc.. like fb feed, you can scroll it for ages. Also user profile feed with any shit you want to type there, movie > map > some info...
