Any considerations for a modification of our modification?

A version beginning in 1917 with the advent of the Russian revolution perhaps entitled....

HOI:Red Storm

...or something similarly tacky :D

We'd probably better just get the original version finished before anything else mind you. :)
 
A bit ambitious of you Allenby, but yeah we should get the original working and out first.

But what we really need is an FAQ thread.

How could we set that up? I'm keen to get that created if it means that we can enlighten prospective players about HOI:TGW.
 
Since Johan is currently being sent on 100-kilometre route marches carrying a 50kg pack, crawling on his belly through mud while instructors fire live ammunition over his head, and undergoing strange initiation rituals in the barracks after lights-out (I presume :) ) I don't think we can necessarily rely on his active participation any time soon... so I'd go ahead.

As an alternative to a thread, would it be better to create a separate webpage or document somewhere and link to it? Otherwise the actual questions may get lost under people replying, quibbling, etc...
 
I've very little idea as to how to make a webpage work. I have an angelfire thingy and I'm completely mystified by it. Can anyone else get one of these thingy-things working properly?
 
What I would recommend is have a post called FAQ, then get a mod to sticky it. Then we could do as StephenT suggested and have a seperate webpage linked to the FAQ thread (if we have someone so kind to as host one), that way we can have a stickied thread up at the top so people notice it, but the information can be updated by the person with the page/document.

Although while we can ask the mod to lock it once we have the site/document up, I think we should leave it open so people can ask questions there. It would concentrate all questions there and not clutter up with tons of threads.
 
I've managed to set up a page on the web for the purpose of FAQs.

How should people ask questions?

Private Message me or email me?

I don't want spam selling me viagra or emails telling me that if I don't pass on their message to at least ten people that I'll get bad luck/the plague/horribly butchered/etc...
 
Create two threads (both Stickied if possible)

1st Thread (definite sticky and locked): FAQ it just links to your page and then directs questions to the 2nd thread.

2nd Thread (If it is possible, sticky, with a link to the FAQ): Ask the TGW crew thread, this is where people ask questions and then get answers from members of the team. And any repeated questions can then be added to the FAQ.
