So now that Jacob_ has abandoned this once great site.. - Walrus - 10-20-2012

Does that mean that most users will stop making games and stop working on them?
I can only imagine how many people we're loosing.
Is there anyway to convince jacob_ to not abandon this? Because I understand his situation, he cannot do everything and implement things all alone, he needs 1 or 2 other people to at least help him, guide him, and get things done. Working on a game like this requires trust, communication, responsibility, cooperation, and effort.
I also think that if Jacob_ wants an increase in users and wants to make a few extra bucks, then I recommend him changing the site background ASAP, the site design looks worse than doo doo. It's bland, unappealable, and resembles nothing, and that really draws players away.
Maybe jacob_ should find someone who's good with site design to make a detailed and colorful background to make this look vibrant.

What I'm trying to say is that Buildism needs a make-over in terms of its site design.

when did we start making games?

I know the design is bad, it's mostly because the last time I changed it majorly (which wasn't that bad, but the forums looked messed up in a lot of places) it made the HTML confusing and hard to update, and I don't have enough time to update this site anyway. If there's one thing I'm good at it's taking a simple design and making it more complicated until it looks like crap. Tongue

If someone has an idea that isn't too complicated I might be able to do it.

My idea:
change the damn background. Make it something orange.

Invader, Jacob doesn't realize this but the site design and background is what draws people AWAY, it looks so cheap, yet so poorly detailed.
Appearance with sites actually DO matter.
