anyone want to venture on how long it takes to find the groups page and look for a group near you? I can do it in about 30 seconds. Though when I was looking up the cali groups I found over 80% of that information was wrong.
However, if I go to the forums I have to figure out if the new person forum is the right place to post, sign up for a forum that may spam me, write a post of where I am and how I'm looking for someone to contact and then wait forever for someone to reply if someone ever does read that post from the area I'm looking for.
The FORUM is the WORST way to spread information to new people.
Personally there should be some kind of intro page. at the bottom are the listing of links for those of us who want to see something right away. What the person first sees is many pictures and text asking if they are new to the sport or not. If Not the you get redirected to the intro page we have now, but the links are HUGE.
New people are shown a preview of what the sport has to offer (think porn site tour). Along the way it shows the person where to go to find the weapon building pages, how to start a realm, and everything else a new person is looking for.
Also like I posted in a different post
The events page needs an overhaul.
