Hi Kestas, I don't like to see when people post and don't get answers, so
I thought I would send you something even if that is relatively minimal in
terms of content. First, just as a comparison, you might want to take a
gander at the post that immediately precedes yours, the stabbeurfou site
is one of the other sites that does most of what you're doing, plus more.
I'm not sure, but talking to Jeremie about his site might be useful to
you. It is difficult to create a community from scratch and to generate
interest in your site, you need to do that. I can look at the shots and
the site and say "hmm, looks OK", but people are looking for actual games.
Not many people are looking around to look at sites and adjudicators.
What you need to ask (and wouldn't include me) is for volunteers for a
test game, so that you can have a real live game running on the site for
people to see when they visit it. Jeremie's site not that long ago
started that way, and now look at it..... of course he had a Diplomacy
National World Cup tournament to draw attention to it.
Good luck with your site,
Jim
