DSA Website/Clan Revamp 2017-2018

Shocker!!!!

[Stryker0022]

What up everyone!!! It's been a while since I posted here. I haven't been gaming much lately. Just been really busy with life.

I only play on PS4 and have only been playing Destiny. My main focus has been to continue to grow that group. Overall, we have good numbers. We've gained and lost players since launch but that's to be expected. I'm sure we'll get a surge of new recruits with the launch of D2.

I have to be honest. I've been recruiting since I basically joined the clan in 2013, and my biggest challenge has always been getting people to stay active on the site.

So far the only thing that has been successful on the PlayStation side has been PlayStation chat. I've created a Destiny group chat which we use to communicate. However, that's not the answer since we can't communicate with the rest of the clan.

I would love to volunteer for the revamp efforts, and I really want to, but I really don't have the time right now. I'm hoping that in a month, things settle down for me and I can get back to gaming. I will try to stay active on the site.

Nice job on the new site. Looks great

Some more upgrading/patching done. There is now a share button for Facebook and Twitter on every post, blog, article, etc..
Buttons are located under the user avatar/rank on left side of each post, as well as the original "Publish to Facebook" checkbox on new posts.

In case anyone was going crazy looking for the share icon when viewing from mobile device, the icon was missing. It's fixed now. Here are where to find the share buttons in each view.

[RaTix]

Added Social Media links to the official DSA pages on them in the header above the search bar.

[Reaver]

Ratix i dont know if you remember me from back in the days i used to help out a lot with site and i was a very decent snipers from battlefront 1 ! id love to ''rejoin'' if there is still a community online or some activity guess life changed after a while ! hit me back id be glad to help out again !

[RaTix]

Well, I actually made mine.. but have been using it for..geez 13 years now.

Frell had left, came back, left again, not sure where he is now. Fromunda is still around, at least on the Xbox. On the website not so much though.

[Reaver]

Holy shit.... I havent see you're name since when I had my first tryout back in 04. Man , what a trip down memory lane. I hope you are doing well dereck, Glad to see you are still alive and well.

[Reaver]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe "The kid with the tie pilot fighter" avatar was Rabid_Hunter. At some points everyone thought I was a double and portraying as Rabid_Hunter and Soul_Reaver at the same time lmao. Even though we would be on at the same time hahahaha

Hi Dereck!
I've seen your username around old posts, What console are you on? DSA is split between Microsoft, and Sony consoles. Do you play pc games? Ratix and a few others game on there too.

[Reaver]

Hes one of the originals Mui. If I'm not mistaken he was 1st generation and around when DSA had formed. I came along in 04, and I know Ratix came from the PC prior to that so we are talking maybe 02 03.

[RegentOne]

Website looks good Ratix. I like it. Haven't seen you around in ages Dereck. Jump on XBOX 1 and join us for some Battlefront 2. The game rocks and is fun to play with DSA.

Moved CometChat and Discord to their own "Comms" side block, similar to old shoutbox. Also rearranged the layouts a bit. Feel free to leave comments.

[Deslock]

I miss the old shoutbox.

[RaTix]

I limited the chat box on the home page (and only on the home page for now) to a simple Shoutbox. Same chat, just limits it to only the "Shoutbox" group.

What exactly do you miss about the old one?

[SG-17]

Are the old SOCOM and Warhawk maps around somewhere?

[RaTix]

They are now added to the Article Section.

[RaTix]

SG-17 I do have them, just trying to figure out the best way of adding them back as we don't have the same photo gallery setup as before. Most likely I will be adding them back in the Articles section, and making a Game Maps section in there for them.
