GDIC Gaming Community - Powered by vBulletin
  • Just What's This New Site All About ?

    As you can see we re-designed our website. This new design gives its members the ability to get as involved as they want to. Everything from members having their own blog to writing arcticles on various topics that everyone can enjoy. For those of you who play Alien Swarm, Battlefield Bad Company 2 or any other game, now you can create communities for these groups all within GDIC's website.

    In case you haven't noticed we also have a new system that should make things a bit more fun.
    The new icons and blue, orange and green bars that appear under your name are all part of a new point system called Experience. This new feature is a level/promotion and actrivity measuring system with awards, achievements, promotions and activities. It will calculate an activity and experience score for every user based on their activites on the forum. Now you will see how your level increases by your participation.

    Communities are not only defined by post count, but by several other parameters: Are the postings helpful? Are threads frequently read? Participation with the community by posting pictures, attachments, leaving visitor messages, tagging threads, and much more. Get awards, achievments and other perks for being a supporting member. I do want to make one thing clear, this is not so we can see who's a devoted clan member and whos not, or who contributes the most free time, etc, etc. Most of us Seniors have jobs and a fairly busy lifestyle, but when we want to hop online and play, its a blast to team up with friends for some bashing.

    The main purpose is to just acknowledge some of those that help keep our Gaming Community alive and in the process maybe have some fun managing their website/blog or adding content to the GDIC site.
