______________ Central

Eudemon · June 7, 2011

So just for talking sake, say TDUC stays in some shape or form but we start a new community (from scratch). Either Title Focussed or General Gaming Banter would you guys be up for that? Central's methodology would remain whereever it goes of course so the insanity and animals would also travel with us.

Also is it mainly because you want to talk about other games/things out with here because TDU2 isn't exactly doing so great at the moment? More tellingly is it the distancing away from Atari and Eden that you're looking for us to do as well?

Basically if we create it, will you come? :hmmm:

I like the sound of that (I like the way TDUC is at the moment, but hey.. moving forward and all..), as long as the insanity and fun stays.. :)

T1M · June 7, 2011

Sounds good to me. I'd be up for that, seeing as most members discuss a wide variation of games other than TDU2, and probably a lot more than TDU2. As long as the atmosphere etc. stays the same, i'm happy with it. :)

Mb · June 7, 2011

I can agree with something not strictly TDU related. But keep the same memberbase and post stuff etc.

Just change the name, some things on the forum etc. I do agree with Diablo. :)

TIMELESS · June 7, 2011

As long as it doesn't end up being big and scary, like RaceDepartment - which is not one forum, but more a large collection of forums xD

Edit: Like Mellors said below :)

I'd go for opening the forum to all driving/racing games and then having the other genres in a smaller section like it is currently with TDU and all other games. Keeping the same forum and everything.

Eudemon · June 7, 2011

You can never tell how something will turn out though, look at this place, back when it started I never imagined it would be what it is now. You guys are giving me a lot to think about.

@Mb the whole keeping things is a bit of a tough sandwich to microwave due to the fact that in order to keep the general info and data you mentioned it would require first off the same software and vB isn't cheap (importing vB's data structure into another software isn't completely a no go though), and secondly mixing old with brand new is a recipe for trouble hence why the from the beginning method would probably be the proposed way we would go. Or at least test the waters with. :)

A rebrand as you just said on MSN.

Ok there are 6 options now. :lol:

I'd go for the rebrand, change the name, the purpose and the layout and I think the rest will fall into place.

I've been bored of TDU2 since a week after it came out, and wouldn't buy a TDU3 if they bothered bringing one out, so I'm all for pushing it to one side, like Atari have done with us.

Baldy · June 7, 2011

A rebrand sounds good. Something needs to be done, TDU is dead, and if it isn't it soon will be. Atari take note, you've managed to kill the TDU passion from many of it's long term fans. Nice job you did there! :D

Ryzza5 · June 7, 2011

We should send them a trophy for their achievement. :D

I'm not joking.

Baldy · June 7, 2011

What would it say on it though? And how about SarcasticTrophiesCentral.com

ScoobSTi · June 8, 2011

I think it should have everything to do with cars, motorsports, etc.

Motoring Central? :leaves:

Edit: I also think we should keep the current things we have on the forum, just change the name if you really want to go through this.

randomsox10 · June 8, 2011

i agree with this. i dont think the TDU community is going to hold very much longer. even im getting bored and annoyed with Atari/Eden and ive been putting up with Activision and Call of Duty for years now. wat Atari/Eden have done is take a great idea and stabed it in the face with a garden hoe

killalldude · June 8, 2011

Personally I wouldn't rebrand mainly because it's what kills companies, however I do see why some people are interested in rebranding now... Of course if modding doesn't ever come to TDU:2 to revive it then I'd see a good reason to change our forum name.

Ooh that's blunt but very true all the same.

Has a nice ring to it, will definitely have to bookmark it though, typing that each day is too close to working out.
