I think the trick to user-driven news web sites, is there has to be some "cred" amongst your peers for contributing items.
The problem is, until there is a significant number of viewers, the effort to post useful informative items vs the feedback is low.
I was hoping the RSS feed from the Wiki would help keep people informed that updates had been added, so they would come to read them and comment, but apparently not..
The RoboWars wiki has a section for Event Reports, nrews and other things, it is not just a Technical Wiki, but noone has bothered to use it. Probably because the Forum offers more appreciation, viewers and direct feedback from the viewers than the Wiki does.
Who here knows what the most recent change to the Wiki is without going and looking now that I mentioned it ? Is it because most are using the Internet Exploder 6 or earlier or dont know how to use RSS notification ?
I think you were on a better track with the BotClips server, since the thing the RoboWars server doesnt provide is large amounts of storage.. But now that YouTube and other video sharing sites offer a wider audience, a smaller viewer video host only has the advantage of superior resolution.
I dont mean to discourage you Jeff, I think donating 'Net space free is very kind of you, but you have to think of how to encourage people to use it for more reasons than putting up a sign saying "free storage space" unless you want it to just be used as a closet. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
