GotFrag V3

Posted by Myers at 00:00 8/8/2005.

Possibly the best gaming portal around today, GotFrag, have released version 3 of their website. The release roughly coincides with the website's 3rd year of existence and is a testament to the motivation and dedication of their many staff.

In a statement managing director Lee Chen notes the changes between GotFrag V3 and its V2 predecessor.

GotFrag Version 3 is an enormous upgrade at many levels. It represents many, many changes for the GotFrag site. As with all things, I expect that the changes will be welcomed by some, condemned by some, and ignored by the rest. Personally, having been involved in the concept, design and implementation of the Version 3 site since we launched Version 2; I love it.

Version 3, or more simply, V3, comprises the experiences and lessons learned from Version 2, infrastructure much needed for our growth, and many requests, compliments and criticisms from you, our community. It also represents the blood, sweat, and tears (tissues please!) of many, many people. It is important to note, that V3 is not just a new design or new features, it is a new GotFrag(...)

  • New layout and design focused on delivering the hottest news and coverage
  • Game Scoreboards for up-to-date coverage
  • Reworked demos page for finding your favorite match faster and easier
  • Improved user messaging for improved community interaction
  • New Forums for all you trolls and lurkers (no, I'm not encouraging you to do either! Post! Interact!)
  • Faster Content Delivery System to assure the site loads faster and better
  • New Content Management System for our staff
  • Make sure you set your timezone in your profile, as all displays of times for matches and score reporting is now localized to your timezone!

Included in the launch of the new-look website is an in-depth interview with Sheryl Huang, a Senior Manager in Worldwide Marketing Communications for NVIDIA, and Jennifer Whelan, Worldwide Partnership Marketing Manger for Intel. So let your cursors follow your curiousity to GotFrag V3

I dont like it, the old 1 was better.

All this was for was to create even more huge advert space.

They aint supporting the global gaming community, they are supporting their wallets. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

you'd be suprised, i bet their making a fair bit from the adsense, bet it costs a fair bit to handle it all though, they say they have 5 servers or so, well over a few hundred dollars a month! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

My s***ty little clan website makes about £20/month from google adsense, and it only gets about 10'000views/month.

So gotfrag will make a tidy sum. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"We could make a nice, original site that'd attract people and get interest flowing"

"Or we can load a generic and overused design idea with bland colours and pump it full of ads for money"

technically no one is unique;

no 2 finger prints are the same, therefore everyone is unique, but then if everyone is unique, then surely they cant be unique cos they are the same as everyone else, as they to are unique ^_¬ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
