Hey guys, I know I'm new here but I'm certainly not new to the AA community and I really love and appreciate what you guys are doing for AA 2.5. Just wanted to say that I have a background in website designing and I could maybe help out in that regard as far as making a more user friendly site? Just some food for thought and if you guys are interested just reply and let me know!

I can't wait until Jared see's this :)

He's right in the fact you do have to develop websites for computer illiterate people.
Think you guys have done an great job of that :P
The only thing i could suggest is possibly footer links and/or a download link in the menu list up the top to help with navigation and thats if your being picky...
-
I'm not necessarily saying that this site isn't user friendly. My critiques of it I guess would be it looks a little bland, as well as the forum can be a little difficult to navigate. Again I'm not trying to bash anyone here just trying to help in anyway I can.

Ok so here's what I'm doing. I am currently working on creating a battle league site where teams can setup matches against other teams. Ill keep everyone updated here in case anyone wants to join up.

people baffle me.

hehe, probably a good point to rethink the concept of ur league/ladder. i ask myself consistently why ur league is not attracting more teams/players...because i think there are enough around. i dont have a solution, im just stating the obvious.
-
There's not many teams. We started this as a test, to see how many people would join it. There hasn't been enough activity to further development, plus i did this all in 1 weekend. Also thats why there is only a ladder, and no league, because not enough teams/activity.

Yea, it's even in the main nav bar... If you're going to critique the site, at least browse around first.

i think its the same as with the assist programm. u first have to implement something great, afterwards the ppl will come.
on the other way around. me as a leader of a clan, i have probs to motivate or get my guys together for league/ladder play, if the platform is that loveless.
i think there are a lot of ppl out there, who would just come back to play clanwars and also the game, because thats whats so great about this tactical game. its one big aspect to get more ppl back to the game.
-
have you used the system? Its so easy. Easier than TWL, or any other ladder i have played in.
Please let me know whats not easy to use and i can look into it.
-
i dont think its a matter of the system or the easyness to use it. maybe the whole thing is just to easy, in sense of simple and hidden. for example, for me as an person outside i only see a page with rules and one with the ranking. what i dont see is who played against who, which maps have been played, what was the score, maybe some comments about the game, score for the ranking system... etc. etc.
to make it short, i think its a matter or lack of information, communication, emotion and advertising. maybe also the concept of the ladder with the traget group u'd like to attract.
just some ideas to think about...i dont have any solutions, nor can i help u...

see its funny because you say there isnt that many teams/players willing to do it but my clan has at least 2-4 scrims a day against other clans. so there ARE teams out there its just your "league" (which is really just a category in a forum) doesnt attract players because its again just a category in a forum...

Against who? GOW and headhunters? That's all I can think of. There aren't many U.S. clans on 2.5 anymore. And maybe teams don't want to join a ladder, ever think of that?

He's just saying that he's in AK4 yet the AK4 team hasn't signed up. The site is up and running and fully functional yet the users aren't taking advantage of it. The league site is in the nav, it sounds like you haven't been there yet: http://league.aao25.com/ It's still using the old forum skin. Jared says if the site gets more use that he will update it.
