    I want to replace the splash page with a CMS page. I want it to contain reviews of games, tut help, reviews on movies, anything else you all can think will be worth putting on it.

    Serious, I want to do this, just would like your ideas what you would want to see there.

    Also, let me know if you think this is a worthless idea too.

    i personally dont like the idea...

    our splash page is fine... we have our galleries, we have our forums and we have our pinned topics within our forums (which no one reads, if they did we wouldnt need a news page/cms).

    its simple and its straightforward (our current splash).

    I vote no. worthless idea, no one is going to really read it, unless their going to use it to suck up "Hey man i read that artice you wrote, it was awesome!. soo got any credits to spare?" bad idea. we dont need a website, then it would just get to out of hand.

    i admit i don't like the master cheif thing..but i like the simplicity of it.. keep it like that please.. but maybe... change the image once a week... like an on going contest? every week there is a new one.. i don't know.....

    by the way... all of you who say it's not worth to do, and that you just go straight to the forums... that's kinda... well that is proving his point that maybe it needs to be redone, cause the usuals don't even go to it.

    LEAVE IT! just change the image :P

    ...... ps: maybe make a modding section for GR?..... hardware mods mostly but some software modding as well...

    its mainly because anything that is in the gallery section publically you can find in the renders section on the forums, besides the forums and gallery, there isnt really anything, and since the gallery is basically on the forums, then it mine as well not exist to us.

    the only reason i even see the gallery being useful is for donators personal galleries that we get to display our art.
