In Response To: Re: Draft 1 Wireframe (Godot)

: Since I started this I'm going to comment. My experience is that it is very
: difficult to design something by committee. For every pro there is con,
: people get frustrated and some will just walk away saying "Well do it
: yourself if you think you can do it better".

: Thanks for not walking away Forrest.

It's getting very tempting. I can deal with everyone having a different opinion, I'm used to working with committees, but people implying that I don't know what I'm doing at all are starting to piss me off. (Yes Joho, I know what white space is, thank you. Not everyone's design aesthetic is white on white with white accents like yours).

: When I first posted about the need for a MBO revamp I didn't stipulate any
: requirements other than the need to incorporate the news feed.
: http://forums.bungie.org/story/?noframes;read=60827

: So everything was on the table, including the links. No link should be
: retained if it no longer serves its purpose or sends out the wrong
: impression to new people (i.e. this game is dead)

But later, you said "I don't agree with dumping all the external links into Page2401, which is grossly out-of-date. There should be a direct link to them from the index page. Think of MBO as a jump pad to the community." I took that to mean that you wanted what's on the front page to stay on the front page, and not be dumped into a second-level "Links" page (be it 2401 or something new), which was my original thought.

: I don't believe we need that set of links across the top of the page. It adds
: confusion to new people. Their first question will be "What is the
: difference between these links and the left panel links?" The MBO
: Archive is of historical interest only now.

The idea there (which connects to the later-stage ideas) was that the top nav bar would have all of the core, important links that are really integral to a fan site. The ideal was to eventually have them all integrated into a single site, but as an intermediary step they could be a mix of links to both "hosted" and "offworld" sites; we could have Forum and Archive link to the Pfhorums and Simplici7y for now, as they are the most active forum and archive sites.

Everything that is not a core function that a fan site needs is just some niche project, and those are the links that I would have demoted to the sidebar (or behind a "Links" link, in the original plan). I wouldn't mind mixing them all together, hosted and offworld; I just kept the distinction that was already made, and didn't get rid of anything that was already there unless it was completely nonfunctional. I'm happy to mix them up and cull them down to active and historical sites.

But I do think that some sites / subsites need special emphasis still; and others like Joho seem to agree as well. I am open to debate on which those are, but even if something like Map of the Month was still active, I wouldn't say it belongs on the same level of billing as the Story Page or the Spoiler Guide.
