Crossfire Content Competition!

by TosspoT • 24 Sep 2012, 09:39 • News

Hello all, as you might have noticed in recent weeks we at Crossfire have been in need of some juicy content that only Crossfire can produce! Whether that's controversial journals, through provoking columns or just plain old news - the summer is over and we're in need! Interested? Read On for the awesome prize.

To stimulate the drive for content and to get this show back on the road (whilst we fix many a user reported bug) I'm offering up 1 Valve Forever code as the prize for the best content producer of October. A valve forever code entitles you to all Valve games past and present, betas and all! You simply pop it into steam and it activates all the historic titles and then you'll see the future titles start to come as well when they're released. I've had mine for 2 years and its amazing.

So from October 1st to October 31st we'll be running that competition. To get you warmed up in the month of September we'll be offering up 2 x DOTA 2 Beta Keys as prizes for the best two pieces of content this week. The content really can be anything, journals might be marked on number of good replies, news might be marked on its relevancy and columns on quality of writing.

In b4 10000 shitty journals by kamz,horse and seareal

No matter how many journals they make they'll never inspire 'good replies'

Parent

most of the replies of crossfire are inb4, /!\, and chains your not going to get a good reply there is to many brain deads

Parent

in b4 shitty keith getting busted again /!\

Parent

god damn it im tempted to do this stuff.

then go go! got my fingers crossed!

Parent

Would you accept fighting game coverage on Crossfire? I was thinking about doing it earlier but wasn't sure if it would be accepted and if there would be any interest :d

We can for sure expriment that in the side news section and see how much users show intrest.

Parent

What Simon said, everyone says theres a big fighting game community - though I'm skeptical! ;)

Parent

Definitely a big community, just quite a closed one though I guess :p
I don't even play much personally, just by far the type of game I enjoy watching most.

Parent

It's HUGE and very vocal. One of my favourite!

Parent

I've never been to EVO, but every other event I've been to that features fighting games, MLG/WCG etc its been rather drab and to be frank half as quiet as a weekend at WZZRD!

Parent

The good events are hosted by guys from the community, the FGC hasn't quite accepted "e-sports" yet and for that reason the support for tournaments like MLG and WCG has never really been there. In addition to EVO there are "majors" pretty often. Some bigger than others. I would consider the FGC similar to smth like MMA/Boxing I guess. It has taken a different route than games like SC and CS.

Parent

Why does cf have a 502 error 90% of the time :(

same here :/

Parent

server is not really configured properly atm, its using an older less secure system of executing PHP.

Parent

very nice move, retard of the month with the 1 month ban award would help to improve the content as well :D

Parent

Now now, we can just ban Kamz for a lifetime then?

Parent

i think more people would like to see u banned :(

my posts provide entertainment and keep this site alive, u do nothing interesting

Parent

Any reason they would like me to get banned? Oh, now its suddenly about keeping the site alive. I remember some journal you made where you said you were quiting CF.

Parent

lol

Parent

did i miss something...? who are u?

Parent

what?

Parent

sry didnt want to reply on your comment

hate this new design -_-

Parent

my column would have won, I guess im gonna have to go back to my shed for some more inspiration.

but quality > quantity right? :D

Lazy people's motto :D

Parent

It's not about the size though.

Parent

That's what she said.

Parent

How the fuck did you know that?! ARE YOU SPYING ON ME?!

Parent

too late

Damn, too bad i suck at writing columns or any other kind of content :(

1 month posting to be the happiest nerd on crossfire xd

Ok french man

Parent

-10pts for griffondor mister potter

Parent

religion journals always do the trick

amen to that

Parent

inb4 this journal gonna explode now and tosspot taking the trophy home! it was all planned :)

Parent

Yup, I wanna win so I can run the competition again next month. GENIUS!!!

November 1st - Crossfire Content Competition 2

As the winner of October's competition I am kindly donating my prize to run a new competition in November...

Parent

neverending activity :o)

Parent

all religions are equally bullshit
/closed

Parent

not true!
/opened

Parent

now everybody can see how dead cf actually is after the update

It can be seen by almost every journal with 10-15 replies.

Parent

only interesting journals would get more than 15 replies on CF3. :d e.g. one journal today got 150, another 45.

blame the people who make boring ones. (that and on CF3 the majority of journals got next to no attention..)

Parent

I got some nice content coming up. Only downside I can see is that main news get way more attention that the former "other news".
As a normal CF user I cant decide where my news go, a lot of the other content providers have mod status and can put them on the frontpage and immediately aproove them.
Also, their news dont stay unpublished for hours after changing a single caracter in them...

I'm quite sure that the admin team checks all the newspost more than once and make them main if they find them main worthy, I don't see a problem with that however I agree with you the edit->need of new approval needs to get removed on the other side proper use of draft and re-think before you hit the post buttom could prevent a lot of re-accepts.

Parent

My FIFA news got accepted quite fast but I had a "," instead of a "." in a block of text, somewhot my spell checker fucked up on that.
After editing that, it took 5 hours for the news to be back online and that only because I pmmed an admin.

Parent

It shows up perfectly for us as admins the only problem is that one has to be online but this 're-accept' "feature" is probably going to get removed, atleast that's what I'm trying to make happen.

Parent

You talk with one of the site's greatest ever admins on a daily basis.

Parent

Not really talking to Simon and Thom that often ;)

XO

Parent

Yes I know. That's why I said one of the site's greatest ever admins and not Dutch noob and Finnish noob with ET tattoo on heart.

Parent

It's extremely rude to point out that someone is Dutch, you shouldn't do this again.

Parent

mhhh

Return of THE journals!?

Parent

do it :8D

Parent

Regular random babes definitely count towards this prize!

Parent

change banner! IT CLEARLY SAYS EVRY THING ABOUT BANGA, ZOMBIES EAT YOUR BRAIN!

So I have been clicking a couple profiles lately and for some reason everybody seems to have the same acchievements, whats up with that?

How does one achieve those Valve Forever codes? Tried checking more info about it but couldn't find any. Secret Society perhaps?!

Know people at valve!

Parent

This is a really nice initiative, *applauds*.

If I may say one thing however, there should be some smaller prizes for a second and/or third place. I'm very interested to take part in this but it would be a huge bummer to end second or third and not get anything out of it. These smaller prizes don't need to be anything special, it's more a matter of getting something for your time spent. You guys are creative, you'll figure something out if you want to.

Smite or CS:GO key I'd say

Parent

for example yes, i would be semi interested in both so they are nice ideas ^^

Parent

Potty had like 4 or 5 CS:GO keys as a "present" from Steam :P

Parent

I have 2 x DOTA2 beta keys, for 2nd and 3rd!

Parent

https://www.google.no/search?q=%22valve+forever+code%22

really? did tosspot just announce the biggest steam secret thus far? or is he lying?

last december xmas holiday competitions had Grand Prize (1 winner) - EVERY game - 3rd Prize (1000 winners) - Valve Complete Pack (EVERY valve game) on steam so it definately exists. or is that different thing lol dno

Parent

oh okay, not so fun anymore :(

although complete pack wouldnt be future games would it?

Parent

eSports works in mysterious ways.

Parent

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right

Parent

It's a good idea u got there, but I know why there is so much less content as before. And the reason is CF4.0! Atleast CF4.0 made me change my homepage from CF to google. Bcuz CF is pain in your eyes now.
I still come here from time to time, but browsing CF4.0 only takes around 20 minutes, while browsing CF3.0 it could take 2 hours, and that's not only bcuz the content!

And fix the freaking 502 erros before you start generating content, content is only useful if it's possible to access...

I think its a bad idea Tosspot is just a big lier.
Still havnt got my prizes for winning BFB
And comming second in the next one.
ET is dead simple as.
