money and news
« on: 03 Jun 2003, 22:43:53 »
couple of Q's here:

1) when resistance was announced etc, wolfsbane did a deal with codies to allow us to pre-order resistance from their site and then get money for OFPEC... i was wondering how much that made?

2) in the news on the main page, could you announce all new submissions? like missions etc?

thats about all lads :thumbsup:

2.

Don't we do that already? If you scroll down to the very bottom of the main page you'll see them 4 fields which give you a list of new submissions.. is that what you ment?
Not all is lost.

*tihi* :P ::) Just had to write that ::)

mhm...yea, that pre-order thingy...maybe you could fix that for OFP2 ;)
When res was released I had to wait 32 days before it got into the shops here and I could buy it...don't want that to happen when OFP2 is released ;) And if I'm gonna pre-order it, why not from OFPEC so OFPEC gets some moneh ;) :)

Unfortunately we are not allowed to sell or even advertise on the site. If we did, the cost for this connection would go up from $40 to about $200 / month.

I'm not sure if anyone other than Wolfsbane would know that answer to that question, Messiah.

However, I seriously doubt that the amount of money made from that venture, would have ever offset the amount of money it cost to run OFPEC at the time.

2.   Yes.

The Ed Depot is quite good about posting news when new submissions are accepted.   The Missions depot doesn't have the habit but I what I would like to see are regular news posts with a few titbits about the latest missions/campaigns that have been reviewed ...... we don't want an individual post about every mission - that would simply be too messy - but regular updates with the latest missions posted, focussing on the best and most original.

Ditto Addons, once the Addons depot is fully up and running.

Well, it isn't happening yet but we do want more mission and addon news from within OFPEC.

And of course lots more news from elsewhere too.    Seen my sig line recently?   ::)
