    TGN Community Site Changes Coming Soon

    The Total Gaming Network would like to announce today our plans to reshape our game specific community websites. This reshaping includes both the removal of inactive sites and changing one so it can gain more traffic. Below are a list of the sites that will be removed within the next 24 hours:

    • Total Grand Theft Auto
    • Total Tiberium
    • Total Unreal
    • Total World in Conflict

    We know that a few of the dedicated members in those areas will be disappointed to see them go, and we apologize to those members, but for the overall good of TGN, we are choosing to remove them. We want to continue to grow our network and these sites we feel are just dead weight that use up some of our time where it could be better used elsewhere.

    Most of the threads, if not all of them, from these sites will be placed in the system section area where they can further be posted in. Although they won't be disappear, we suggest if you have any important information or guides in these sections, be sure to back them up on your computer just in case.

    Now along with the removal of a few sites, we plan on changing another site around in order to gain more traffic. Here's what we plan to do:

    Total Quake -> Total id
    With not a lot to discuss currently for the Quake series and the recent announcement of a few top name id Software games, we've decided to turn Total Quake into Total id. Now we know id isn't technically a game but rather a company and we haven't done that before, but since id only has a few big name series, we feel opening one site to cover all of them is better than opening three more sites in addition to Total Quake. So Total id will plan to cover the following series and any games within them:

    • Quake
    • Wolfenstein
    • Doom
    • Rage

    With all of these great series and newly announced games for them, we hope to make Total id one of the biggest game communities on Total Gaming Network.

    Work will begin on the new Total id website as soon as possible and you will be seeing the transition from Quake to id within the coming weeks.

    Again, we apologize to any members that may be disappointed with the removal of these websites but we want to cut out any dead weight on TGN so we can continue to build and grow as a network. Thanks for reading and feel free to post any feedback in this thread.

    One last note: We will be having staff openings coming very soon so keep an eye out for those!

    Hopefully this turn TGN from a slightly bloated fat kid to a lean mean, traffic drawing machine.

    But, in all seriousness, don't think because the sites have gone, news regarding them have. Staff as well as normal members are free to post updates in the systems areas.

      Exactly right. We will still be covering these games in the other news areas and by all means, post about them in as much detail as you want in those system areas.

              If it's not on the list in the first post, it's not going to be removed.

                  I still say we should call it Total RagenQuakedoomstien It sounds soo much cooler.

                  Rage + Quake + Doom + Wolfenstien

                  Glad to see things moving forward.

                    Might be considered yes, so we can cover Left4Dead and what not. Though we do now but it would make more sense to cover it with the name change. :p

                      If you look on the "Licensed Source games" theres actualy quite a few games listed on there. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Postal III, and many more.

                          Eh, I'm already covering L4D stuff in there anyway and at CS-Nation (coughshamelessplugofhostedTGNsitecough)!

                          In other news though, what happens to the articles and guides, and features that were on the sites? I see you said to save them but there won't be an archive anywhere for future reference?

                            All that stuff I think can be moved over as well into the PC area (or console if it relates)

                              I guess I keep forgetting that most stuff is tied into a forum thread already. Well that works out then!
