Hey guys!

I was just thinking and I had this idea:

I would create a website which has a page for each Xbox Live player here on TVG with their gamertag with the info using the site mygamercard.net and have them write a little bit about themselves. So each person would have their own personal page. Then I would add a leaderboard(Like what Lethal is doing or maybe even alow Lethal to do it on the site) and maybe add competitions and get togethers.

Maybe post your comments/ideas and I may go ahead with it.

Would be pretty cool!

would be better to just do it here in the forum

But the idea wouldnt work on the forum. If we had a website it would be much more organised.

That would be amazing man! Great idea and I hope you go trough with it.

Even though I'm a complete noob at website making ect I would try and help you as much as possible.

What would be a good name for it... ?

I think thats a great idea as well. Would you be able to do a leaderboard for each game, or just overall gamerscore leader boards? I think individual games would be better, but whatever. Also I think the idea of everyones own page would be very good. Another thing that I think would be cool, is if there was a challenge system or something like that, kind of like the arcade here. Tell me what you think about that idea man, and any way I can help, Ill try it out, mind you , Im not good with making websites and such.

You have some very good ideas there. I may include a membership system with PM's for challenging each other.

For now I think ill do just Overall Gamerscore leaderboard just to see how well the site goes.

Looks pretty good so far. I think the site would be alot better if it showed leader boards for each game though. And dont make a membership system for challenging, just make it like a board where you can message someone, and then there can be an "Upcoming Challenge" section and a "Past Challenges" section. Also, depending on which game its for, there can be a highlights article. Like for sports game especially, there could be short paragraph writeups by both contestants, seeing the game in there eyes. I dunno, maybe something like that, tell me what ya think

Lookin' Good. Will it update it self or do you have to do it maunally? Like if my score goes up, will it automatically show on the site or do you have to do in and edit it?

I think it's a good idea.

And I support this to the fullest.

We can have our own gamertag profiles that we can link to,rather than a simplistic tvg profile.No offense,but this isn't necessarily a bad thing,just because it's not on TVG itself.

I've completed the layout and its coded. I just need to finish the different pages and get the profile pages sorted out. For all of those who want text on their profile, please PM with the text you want in a text file I can download. Thanks :)

Looks good man, one small typo I saw in the first line of the homepage... talkvideogamers.com

don't mean to be a nag! Other than that it's looking good.
Thanks for your effort

You should do the text darker, it looks blurry and hard to read, maybe black? Same with the logos, and maybe center the links? They are off center, but anyways, LOOKIN GOOD!

The links are off center on purpose. I can easily change the text colour but chaging the actual layout images would be hell. I would need to recode the layout again...
