Tallying thing up we should have around four games or so by next month. Planet Noveo, Exit Path (beta) Crush the Castle 2 and Microboats.


On top of all that quite possibly The Last Stand: Union City, but that is getting delayed a little because of Crush the Castle 2, so maybe not, but who knows.

Perhaps it will see more comments and become more popular with the increase in posts =)

Probably not so much.
A lot of people here, only care about AP.
They are the ones never seen on the "No AP forums".

Honestly I have tried a couple times posting comments on the Armor Blog and long comments at that much of the times, but sometimes when I post my comment it won't show up as if I never even posted it so I suspect there should be more comments then there really are.

There is a post filtering system. So they all have to be approved. Which is why sometimes it may take a day or so for your comment to actually show up on the blog.

We should definitely have the blog and the news show up better...like next to the forums and such! It needs the active replies it deserves, yet not too many are aware of it. If it acted just like a forum (where it would have the last replied post), more people would flock to the place where feedback and discussion is most important!

I hope that happens, since it hasn't occurred yet. Either the blog gets more spotlight here in the forums, or a news section is made. Two ways to make the blog more known.

That's what you call a news forum.

Except it's not there! It's in its own little world separated from the community where not too many people know of the fact that you can actually comment on it. If it was brought TO the community, you would expect activity there to rise completely.

Well if you look at some of the more recent news articles, you will notice that they have quite a few comments on them. As far as the blog is concerned...I think right now the most important thing is getting more people to look at the blog to begin with, which includes keeping them updated on new blog posts and such possibly.

The newest one had 10 comments (last time I replied), which barely constitutes as a second page in thread sense... You would think the talk of 3.0 would spur many comments, but because it's over somewhere else and we already have threads on this (which wouldn't have been made if it was here in the first place), then the comments would have sky-rocketed!

Here's another thing. We have no clue at all if the blog was updated recently with another topic or not! We would all assume that the blog still has the same ol' topic that was here for a month or two when in reality there's one, maybe two new additions made. Sometimes there are notifications in the news section, which I barely catch with my periphery, that shows there is a new blog addition, like the newest one, but besides that, that's all we get. With the blog and news in the community, we would see "Hey look another topic in the blog" and "Hey, there's another news update in AG" more clearly, we can see who last posted a comment there, the activity of the blog and news would increase, and it would get the recognition it deserves, because it's the two most important parts of AG (to me).

Obviously not going to use the rss feeds, are you? They work well.

Basically it allows you to subscribe to the blog at hand, by using the feed and your browser.
How to use thems feeds.

Oh! There's that there button *subscribes*... Uhh, nevermind about the not-knowing-about-updates thing...I still think it should be in the community so it would boost activity though! >

Well maybe more people should know about the RSS feeds possibly. I actually linked both the RSS feeds for new games and the Armor Blog to that old toolbar I made awhile ago which can be seen here but other then that maybe a few periodic updates or better integration in v3.0 might be nice as well I suppose...
