8 Months Later - The Evaluation

Page loads / refreshes are a tad slow -as I’m not a web dev, I am unfamiliar with alternatives and such.
I was thinking this, but didn’t mention it as after the initial load and everything is cached the page loads as quick as any other
Perhaps the forge section is underutilized, but that may be a result of unfamiliarity with the usefulness of such an item.
+1
One thing that may add nicely to the site is a Wiki. Compiling all the knowledge here into a searchable, easy to access interface like that would benefit everyone I think. Submitted by the community, updated and crosschecked by each other.
I was actually thinking this whilst sat in uni earlier (we had a quick discussion on wikis… boredom) - didnt we have one at some point? Or am I remembering things that never happened?

Somehow this CMS/FORUM waits on loading untill external link images are loaded.
Might be solved with a cache setting in the webserver, i’ll have to look at that. -
Yeah page loads to slow sometimes

I like the idea also because I also thought over setting up a wiki bout freelancer - but I dropped because of lazyness and not existing knowledge about wikis.

Anyway,
The page loads sould be a lot shorter from now on. Cept the page loads on the forums with people who have signatures with external links who can be somewhat slower.
Overall im pretty happy with this new box, loads a lot quicker and we have some more resources free to get some other stuff running, cept dunno what yet

bump
9 months now.
We are still looking at improvements. We did some changes allready but we want more.
We are also tempted to get this CMS on a higher level soon.Please give us input so we can improve our lil site.
Is there need for more stats than the standard ones who come with this forum?
We log all hits made by the community bar, and i have to say thats its impressive, thank you all for that . -
This may sound silly, but I usually end up checking the Starport more than 88 Flak’s own forums when I feel like checking up on Freelancer stuff. I realized that the links on the top navbar are basically what I was asking for with “tabs” (duh, of course). It really is a pretty cool site, and I can’t think of anything off the top of my head that could improve it.
Also, Worfeh, yeah, I think the Community Bar is one of the best things to happen to a Freelancer community - nice and standard, so it is easily integrated to - and, most importantly, kept up to date on - all sites that choose to participate.

Did the Wiki ever happen?
