What version of McCodes are you using? It supports v2.0 and v2.0.5b. It'll have issues running on anything else including Ravans. If you want to add me on Skype I can support you further, my Skype is oxydennet

Wouldn't cost that much more in all honesty. Think I charged 2 days for the last responsive site I did, which against a professional template isn't much.

I'm excited for the game, but I'm a PC gamer and there's no solid talk about a PC version. I'm sure they will make one down the line but probably after the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

I've been with Namecheap for a good 4 or so years. Great support, easy to use site and don't try and sell you a lawnmower when you're trying to buy a domain!

Who designed it? I'll give you 50 bucks for this shall pm you now.

You aren't allowed to take credit for others work. So you'd definitely not be allowed to re-sell someones work. If you created your own from scratch it would be a different case.

Check the title of the thread... and ;)

Welcome !Angel, shall be interesting to see what you do with the site.

I like the video on the homepage, pretty cool! I'll check out the rest of the site.

EUKHost are a pretty well known and trusted host. http://www.eukhost.com/dedicated-server-hosting.php

Was about to post the link. I've just upgraded my pack with them, really a good host.

I use Wordpress? Basically the same just I host it myself.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with free domains, I know many professionals who use them to help offset costs. Using webs.com is also an effective solution in building a quick site to promote your services. Nothing wrong with what he is doing, just in deed may put people of.

Swear you asked me this over Skype? My fault doing $list instead of $data inside the loop, that's what you get for typing straight into PasteBin. Closing thread as it's resolved.

Any with IMAP enabled, I wrote an anonymous inbox script a few years back and all it did was grab all the emails from a mailbox and spit them out through PHP. I'll dig the code out if you'd like? You can also run a PHP script as a process which catches all mail and stores it straight into a database but that would require root access and some server knowledge.

It seems common that everyone forgets how people interact with these things, very boring table design which makes it look like any other mod. I'd try and stand out by doing something a bit special with the interface, make it so the user doesn't feel like they're talking to a black and grey table, get some staff pictures. Force 'support' users to have friendly names I'd say.

I like the template, I think you need more contrast between elements, and highlight important elements more. A splash of red wouldn't go a miss either I don't think!

I like the two templates, I think the game could benefit with some individual page styling. Every McCodes game tends to just have a different header wrapped around it, stand out from the crowd and get individual pages designed it'll really set the site apart from others. I think you should have an auto detect on the initial landing page and automatically load the mobile site with an option to return to the Desktop version. Like what you're doing gearing heavily towards mobile with the social links to Facebook.

Thread is being closed whilst a decision is made, we will release the winner this evening!

I was trying to defend you saying you could of hired a coder. Locking this thread as this discussion is not related to the original post.

Indeed! Looking at the big Facebook games such as Farmville they hammer you everything you upgrade to share it with your friends. Get's annoying but it's effective. They also seem to like giving you free things to share with friends. I'm planning on integrating these features directly into the core of the little project me and Ian are working on.

I might cut down the header area of the theme to make it more streamlined. It does waste a hell of a lot of space.

Really nice article! It seems like marketing is commonly overlooked on these boards. This ties in really nicely with the social boom, if you want your game to be successful promote social interaction, get players involved with one another! This also opens it up to them inviting their friends because they know they can get something more from having them play. Such as stating you need 4 members to be involved in this particular crime etc.

Yeah the page load would be a big issue, especially with browser based games you need instant page loads. I still think an easy solution would be for the users request to be used to work out how many times the script needs to run then run a server side script to call a cron file that many times. Not entirely sure how you could set this up but wouldn't be to hard.
