Home page ideas megathread

[shamisen]

some good ideas, however:

@Regenwasser

This makes no sense. Why would I want a play page that is just a black screen with just one or two buttons on it?

It would be Play > My Games. Play > Play would be removed.

@shamisen

I don’t think there’s a single person here who is not busy studying a PhD or raising a family or starting a business (like me)

I mean there is the prejudice that many frequent forum users on the internet are unemployed but I’m sure it’s not everyone? I have a job for example.

I think you misunderstood what I said.

12) League feature
Seems to be similar to how leagues are implemented in many modern video games. Very good idea to do that for chess/go as well. I think I’ve talked about this before but cannot find where. This feature is currently missing entirely on OGS.

I’m not familiar with a “leagues” system, but we already have ladders, tournaments, and groups, I wonder if a new system would fracture the userbase more.

I had a thought today to replace site-wide 19x19, 13x13, and 9x9 tournaments with Go variant tournaments such as Variant Tournament . Of course it wouldn’t be easy, and might require merging with govariants.com. but to be the best website in a category takes a domain name as good as chess.com and/or better features than competitors, surely.
