[Bonecrusher]

Hey, I think it's time to update this news panel half of the websites doesnt even work anymore:

[Shoozza]

I'm sure admins wouldn't mind if someone could actually point out which ones don't work (also if they are long term offline or just currently).

Copypasting is bad Delete the leading "2. ".

Plus you didn't change #1 (there is still a link to soldat.nl wich is offline)
Label "Other Poland" in #4 has no sense, since there is only one Polish site in the list now, so you could simply rename it to "Polish"
On the other hand, you could add "Other Brasil" with a link to http://soldatx.com/
Even more, rename both "Brazil" into "Brazilian" and "Turkey" into "Turkish"

#6 The link wasn't changed too.

[squiddy]

I think the official brazilian community should be soldatx.com!

[jrgp]

I think the official brazilian community should be soldatx.com!

Yeah and I think it's ridiculous that there are two brazilian communities that fight over who should be official. I added you as "Other Brazilian"

Better?

Well, the community you claim official (http://soldat.com.br) is pretty much dead. SoldatX has been having a great increase in popularity, that's why I think it should be "the official one". :p

That community's forum gets more traffic than these forums do, and you're telling me it's dead? For real nigga, what's up?

[squiddy]

Yes, it is dead. I find very hard to see more than 20 members online at any given time. It may have more guests than this one or whatsoever, but it merely has the ammount of new content that SoldatX does. This can be seen at two very clear comparisons I literally just made:


#1: Online members at the same time

The number of guests alone in SX is larger than the total ammount of visitors in SBR.


#2: New content (Up is SX and down is SBR)

SX has at least 9 topics answered/created today (that's only the first page), while SBR had two (and the second latest content is two days ago).

I'm not willing to start a fight over what should be what, and I certainly don't want this to become a pathetic arguing, so I'll close my case here. I am sure you will take the correct call, whatever it is :p
